About This Book

The manual explains step-by-step use of a daisy winder to form crochet daisy motifs, with illustrated wrapping techniques for single and double petals over one or two spokes, and instructions for weaving and securing centers. It provides detailed stitch patterns for turning daisies into blocks and joining them into larger items such as tablecloths, sweaters, bags, and hair ornaments, plus supply lists, hook sizes, edging, blocking, and finishing tips. Patterns include variations in petal layers and assembly methods to produce uniform, repeatable floral motifs.

BLOCKING INSTRUCTIONS

After a piece of crochet is finished, stretch and pin it right-side-down on a padded ironing board and steam with a wet cloth and hot iron. Then press thru a dry cloth until thoroughly dry. For large articles, stretch on curtain or quilting frames, lay over an ironing board, and steam and press dry in sections until completed. Be sure to pin out all picots, loops, scallops, etc., around outside edges.

It’s always important to use
the particular yarn specified in
crochet directions. In the directions
using the Crazy Daisy Winder it is essential
to make sure your crochet fits
correctly around the Crazy Daisies.
