This is a crochet puff-center daisy flower with layered petals and stem 🌼
I’ll explain it step by step, very detailed, so you can make it easily.
🌼 CROCHET PUFF DAISY FLOWER (FULL DETAIL)
🧶 MATERIALS (IMPORTANT)
- Yarn (4-ply or milk cotton works best)
- Yellow → center
- Blue / Pink / any color → petals
- Green → leaf + stem
- Hook: 2.0–2.5 mm
- Needle, scissors

✨ PART 1: VERY PUFFY FLOWER CENTER (YELLOW)
Step 1: Magic Ring

Step 2: Puff Stitch (Very Important)
👉 How to make 1 puff stitch
- Yarn over
- Insert hook into ring
- Pull up a long loop
- Yarn over, insert hook, pull up loop
- Repeat until you have 9 loops on hook

✅ That is 1 puff stitch
Step 3: Make the center

🌟 Result: Big fluffy yellow circle
🌸 PART 2: THICK ROUNDED PETALS (BLUE)
