Puffy Daisy Flower Crochet Pattern

Puffy Daisy Flower Crochet Pattern is easy for beginners and fun to make. You can make the Puffy Daisy Flower in one color or in two different colors for the center and the petals . Approximate size of the ready flower is 2 inches (5.1 cm) in diameter.
Recommended yarn: medium weight or worsted weight (weight category #4). I used Red Heart Super Saver.
Recommended crochet hook: I9/5.5 mm or J10/6.00 mm
Stitches and abbreviations used: CH - chain, SC - single crochet, DC - double crochet, slip stitch.
The Center of the Puff Daisy Flower
Step 1. CH 3 (make a chain of 3 stitches)
Step 2. Join the ends of the chain in a ring with a slip stitch
Step 3. SC 6 in the ring (make 6 single stitches in the ring)

The Petals of the Puff Daisy Crochet Flower:
If you make 6 SC for the center of the Puffy Daisy Flower, you will have 6 petals. If you want 5 petals or 7 petals, you need to make 5 or 7 stitches for the center of the daisy flower accordingly.
The first petal: Attach the different color yarn to the center of the flower if you are making a two-color Daisy Flower otherwise continue with the same yarn:
Step 1. CH 3 (make a chain of 3 stitches)

Step 2. Make a DC (double crochet stitch) in the same stitch, do not finish the double crochet (draw the yarn through 2 loops only once and leave 2 loops on your hook).
Step 3. Make a TC (treble crochet) in the same stitch and do not finish it: draw the yarn through 2 loops only twice, you will have 3 loops on the hook)
Step 4. Make a DC (double crochet) in the same stitch and do not finish it: draw the yarn through 2 loops one time. You have 4 loops on your hook now. 
Step 5. Yarn over the hook and draw the yarn through all 4 loops on your hook finishing all 3 stitches (DC, TC and DC) at once.
Step 6. Make a slip stitch in the next stitch of the center of the flower finishing the first petal. 
Repeat Steps 1 to 6 for other petals and the flower is ready. The flower is puffy because in each petal the TC stitch between two DCs pops out (the TC stitch is higher then DC).
The Puffy Daisy Flower is ready! :)
