I absolutely love this pattern because it transforms simple yarn into everlasting beauty that brightens any room. There's something magical about creating flowers that never wilt, and these blooms are perfect for gifting to loved ones or decorating your own space. The repetitive nature of the stitches makes it wonderfully relaxing, and watching the petals take shape is incredibly satisfying. Plus, you can customize the colors to match any decor or personal preference, making each bouquet uniquely yours.
I love experimenting with different color combinations to create unique bouquets for every season. Try making daisies in soft pastels for spring, bright sunflower yellows for summer, or deep burgundy carnations for autumn. You can also add variety by creating flowers in different sizes—simply use thinner or thicker yarn with appropriate hook sizes.
For a modern twist, I sometimes work these flowers in monochromatic color schemes, like all white for weddings or all navy for coastal decor. Adding metallic yarn as an accent in the centers creates a touch of glamour. Consider mixing textures too by combining matte cotton with silky acrylic blends.
I've also found that adding small pearl beads or buttons to the flower centers gives them extra dimension and elegance. For a rustic look, use natural jute or twine instead of traditional yarn. The possibilities are truly endless, and each variation teaches you something new about color, texture, and design.

The main difference is that the carnation starts with CH 20 instead of CH 16 in the first row, creating more petals. The carnation also requires a gathering technique in the final step to create its characteristic ruffled appearance.
Yes, you can use any yarn weight, but remember to adjust your hook size accordingly. Thinner yarn creates delicate, small flowers while bulkier yarn makes larger, chunkier blooms.
Insert floral wire or pipe cleaners through the center of each flower before gathering, then wrap the wire with green yarn to create a sturdy stem that can stand upright.
A small bouquet typically uses 5-7 flowers, while a fuller arrangement might need 10-15 flowers. Mix daisies and carnations for visual interest.
Make sure to pull the tail end tightly after completing your first round of stitches. You can also weave the tail through the center stitches with a needle to close any remaining gap.
