Hello, crafters! Today, we're diving into the delightful world of crochet with a project that's both charming and practical: a crocheted daisy keychain. This tutorial will guide you through the process of creating your own adorable daisy, perfect for adding a touch of handmade whimsy to your keys or bag. Whether you're a seasoned crocheter or a complete beginner, this pattern is designed to be accessible and enjoyable.

Before we begin, let's gather our supplies. You'll need:
Yarn: Choose your favorite colors! We'll be using two: one for the petals (a lighter shade) and one for the center (a darker shade). A light weight yarn (like DK or sport weight) works best for this project. Approximately 15-20 yards of each color should suffice.
Crochet Hook: Select a hook size appropriate for your chosen yarn. Check the yarn label for recommendations. A 3.5mm or 4mm hook is a good starting point.
Scissors:
Yarn Needle:
Keychain Ring:
Stitch Markers (optional):

Abbreviations:
ch: chain
sc: single crochet
sl st: slip stitch
inc: increase (2 single crochet in one stitch)
rnd: round

Let's Get Started! The Daisy Petals:

We'll begin by creating the daisy petals. With your lighter colored yarn, follow these steps:
Round 1: ch 6, sl st to the first ch to form a ring. (6 st)
Round 2: ch 1 (does not count as a stitch), 2 sc in each st around. (12 st)
Round 3: ch 1, *sc in next st, inc*. Repeat from * to * around. (18 st)
Round 4: ch 1, *sc in next 2 st, inc*. Repeat from * to * around. (24 st)
Round 5: ch 1, sc in each st around. (24 st)
Round 6: ch 1, *sc in next 2 st, dec*. Repeat from * to * around. (18 st)
Round 7: ch 1, *sc in next st, dec*. Repeat from * to * around. (12 st)
Round 8: ch 1, sc in each st around. (12 st)
Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.

Creating the Daisy Center:

Now, let's craft the center of our daisy using the darker yarn.
Round 1: With your darker yarn, ch 6, sl st to the first ch to form a ring. (6 st)
Round 2: ch 1, 2 sc in each st around. (12 st)
Round 3: ch 1, sc in each st around. (12 st)
Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.

Assembling the Daisy:

Carefully sew the daisy center onto the middle of the petal section. Use your yarn needle and the long tails you left from fastening off. Make sure the stitches are secure and neatly hidden.

Attaching the Keychain Ring:

Once the center is securely attached, thread your keychain ring through the back loop of several stitches at the bottom of the daisy. Securely fasten the ring to prevent it from slipping off.

Finishing Touches:

Weave in all loose ends of yarn securely. You can use a crochet hook or your yarn needle to help tuck the ends neatly into the stitches. Give your completed daisy keychain a gentle wash and lay it flat to dry, if desired. This will help to soften the yarn and give it a more finished look.

Variations and Ideas:

Feel free to experiment with different yarn colors and textures to create unique daisy keychains. You could also add beads or small embellishments to personalize your creation. Consider using different stitch patterns for the petals or center to create unique designs. You can even adapt this pattern to create larger daisies for other craft projects!

And there you have it! Your very own handmade crocheted daisy keychain. This project is a great way to practice your basic crochet skills and create a charming accessory. Share your creations with us – we'd love to see your beautiful daisy keychains!

Happy crocheting!
