Crochet Daisy Chain Bookmark, Hairband and Bracelet: Easy Video Tutorial

A crochet daisy chain is one of those small projects that turns into many things: a bookmark, a hairband, a bracelet, a garland or a cute keychain. In this slow, step-by-step video, Hobbi CROCHET shows how to crochet a row of white daisies with sunny yellow centers, all joined in one continuous strip. It is suitable for beginners and advanced beginners who are comfortable with the basic stitches.

Daisy Chain at a Glance

• Designer: Hobbi CROCHET (video tutorial)
• Skill level: beginner to advanced beginner
• Colors: yellow for the centers and white for the petals
• Uses: bookmark, hairband, bracelet, keychain, garland or trim
• Video length: about 32 minutes, with chapters

What You'll Need

• Cotton yarn in yellow and white (a fine cotton gives the most delicate daisies)
• A crochet hook in the size recommended for your yarn
• A yarn needle and scissors
• Optional: a keyring, hair elastic or tassel, depending on what you want to make

Cotton is the best choice for this project. It shows the stitches clearly, the petals keep their shape, and a cotton bookmark will not leave fluff between the pages.

How the Daisy Chain Is Made

The video follows three main stages, each marked with its own chapter:

1. The flower centers (2:56): using yellow yarn, crochet a long chain with small round centers spaced along it. At the end you have a yellow cord dotted with little circles.
2. The white petals (10:18): join the white yarn and work the petals around each yellow center, one daisy at a time, moving along the chain.
3. Finishing (22:16): complete the last daisy, weave in the ends and decide how long you want your chain to be.

Because the centers are made first, you can easily plan the length: a short strip for a bookmark or keychain, a longer one for a bracelet, or a long chain for a hairband or garland.

Ideas for Your Daisy Chain

• Bookmark: make a strip a little longer than your book and add a tassel to the end.
• Hairband or bracelet: leave long yellow ends so you can tie the chain in place, or sew it to an elastic.
• Keychain: make two or three daisies and attach them to a keyring.
• Garland and trim: a long daisy chain looks lovely on a shelf, around a basket or sewn onto a bag or hat.

Tips for Pretty Daisies

• Keep an even tension on the yellow chain so the centers are evenly spaced.
• Shape the petals with your fingers after each daisy so they sit flat.
• Weave in the ends securely, especially on items that will be handled a lot, like bookmarks and keychains.
• Try other colors. Pink, lilac or blue petals turn the daisies into a whole flower garden.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the daisy chain hard to crochet?
No. The video is slow and detailed, and it only uses basic stitches, so beginners can follow along.

How long should a crochet bookmark be?
Make it slightly longer than the height of your book, usually around 7 to 9 in (18 to 23 cm), so the end peeks out of the pages.

Can I make single daisies instead of a chain?
Yes. Make one center and its petals, then fasten off. Single daisies are great for appliqués and keychains.
