You are at: http://www.fortunecity.com/millenium/abbeydale/183/daffodil.htm

Materials:Yellow crochet thread, size 10 (bedspread weight cotton) Crochet hook size 5 (or any size you are comfortable with using size 10 thread)

Note:This also works up beautifully with DMC Perle cotton and I like to use a size 2 or 3 hook when using perle cotton. Also, I prefer to use a variegated thread for this flower, but a solid color thread will turn out pretty too. :)

Starting at base of daffodil, ch 5. Join to form a ring.

Rnd 1:Ch 4, 11 tr in ring. Sl st in top of ch-4.

Rnd 2:Ch 4, tr in same place as sl st, * tr in next 2 tr, 2 tr in next tr (1 tr increased). Repeat from * around. Join.

Rnd 3:Sc in same place as sl st, sc in each tr around.

Rnd 4:Sc in each sc around.

Rnds 5 thru 15:Sc in each sc around, increasing 2 sc evenly in each rnd, being cardful that increases do not fall over each other.

Rnd 16:Ch 4, tr in each sc around. Join.

Rnds 17 and 18:Ch 4, tr in each st around, increasing 3 tr evenly around. Join.

Rnd 19:Sc in same place as sl st, * ch 5, sc in next tr. Repeat from * around. Sl st in first sc. Fasten off.

Petal (make 6):Starting at base of petals, ch 18. Join with sl st fo form ring.

First Petal...Row 1:Ch 4, 4 tr in ring. Ch 4, turn.

Row 2:Tr in first tr, tr in next 3 tr, 2 tr in top of turning chain. Ch 4, turn.

Rows 3 and 4:Tr in first tr, tr in each tr across, 2 tr in top of turning chain. Ch 4, turn.

Rows 5:Skip first tr, tr in each tr and in top of turning chain. Ch 4, turn.

Rows 6:Skip first tr, holding back on hook the last loop of each tr, make tr in next 2 tr, thread over and draw thru all loops on hook (a joint tr made), tr in next 4 tr; holding back on hook the last loop of each tr, make tr in next tr and tr in top of turning chain and complete joint tr as before. Ch 4, turn.

Row 7:Skip first tr, holding back on hook the last loop of each tr, make tr in next tr and in each following tr, tr in top of turning chain, thread over and draw thru all loops on hook. Fasten off.

Second Petal...Attach thread to ring, ch 4, 4 tr in ring, ch 4, turn and complete as for First petal. Make 4 more petals in this manner. You will make 6 petals total.

Edging on petals...Atach thread at base of petal, 2 sc in sp, 3 sc in next sp, in next sp make 2 sc and 3 h dc; 5 dc in next sp, 7 dc in next sp, in next sp make 3 h dc and 2 sc, 4 dc in top sp. Work along side to correspond. Continue in this manner all around outer edges of all petals.

Insert flower thru ring of petals and sew in place. Stiffen flowers so they will hold their shape.
