The process begins with a magic ring, where six single crochets form the tight center of the flower. From there, stitches increase gradually, creating a sturdy base to attach the elastic hair tie. What makes this project special is how the petals are crocheted with triple crochets and chains, adding beautiful volume and shape to your flower. Filling the center with cotton gives it a nice raised effect, making the daisy stand out even more.

Crochet Daisy Hair Tie Pattern

This pattern is for a cute crochet daisy hair tie with a slightly raised center and attached rubber band. The flower is worked in rounds, then petals are added around the base. You’ll begin with a magic ring, crochet a double‑layered center, attach the rubber band, lightly stuff the center, and finally crochet triple crochet petals around the flower.

2. Skill Level & Terminology

Skill Level: Confident Beginner / Intermediate Beginner
Terminology: US crochet terms

You should already know basic stitches like chain, single crochet, slip stitch, and triple crochet, and be comfortable working in the round.

3. Materials & Tools

Yarn:
- 4‑ply cotton or acrylic yarn
- Color A: Center color (e.g., blue or yellow)
- Color B: Petal color (white)
Hook:
- 2.5 mm crochet hook (or appropriate size for your yarn)
Other Tools & Notions:
- 1 rubber band / hair elastic
- Scissors
- Yarn needle (for weaving in ends and joining petals)
- Small amount of cotton or fiberfill (for stuffing the flower center)

4. Gauge

Gauge is not critical for this project because it is a small accessory. However, for reference:

Work a small circle in single crochet:
- Rnd 1: 6 sc in magic ring
- Rnd 2: 2 sc in each st (12 sc)
- Rnd 3: 1 sc, inc around (18 sc)

Your circle should be firm, not loose, and should hold its shape without gaps. If the stitches look too loose, use a smaller hook; if too tight, use a larger hook.

ch – chain
sc – single crochet
sl st – slip stitch
tr – triple crochet
inc – increase (2 sc in the same stitch)
MR – magic ring
st(s) – stitch(es)

6. Special Stitch Instructions

Magic Ring (MR):

Make a loop with yarn, place hook through the loop, pull up a loop, ch 1 to secure, then work the required number of stitches into the ring. Pull the tail to close the ring.

Increase in single crochet (inc):

Work 2 sc into the same stitch.

Triple Crochet (tr):

Yarn over twice, insert hook into stitch, yarn over and pull up a loop (4 loops on hook).
Yarn over, pull through 2 loops (3 loops remain).
Yarn over, pull through 2 loops (2 loops remain).
Yarn over, pull through the last 2 loops.

7. Finished Size

Using a 2.5 mm hook and 4‑ply yarn, the finished daisy hair tie will be approximately:

Flower diameter: about 5–6 cm
Center (puffed part): about 3–4 cm

Size may vary slightly depending on yarn, hook, and tension.

8. The Pattern Itself

Part A: First Center Piece (Bean 1)

With Color A (center color):

Rnd 1:
- Make a MR, secure with 1 ch.
- Work 6 sc into the ring.
  Save
- Pull tail to close the ring tightly.
- Join to first sc with sl st.
- (You now have 6 sts.)
Rnd 2:
- ch 1, 2 sc in the same st (inc).
- Inc in each st around (2 sc in each st).
- Join with sl st to first sc.
- (You now have 12 sc.)
Rnd 3 (Rubber Band Attachment):
- Place the center below the rubber band, with the rubber band lying on top.
- ch 1.
- Work the round as:
  - 1 sc in next st, then inc (2 sc in next st)
  - Repeat 1 sc, inc around.
- During this round, capture the rubber band by working your sc over the band so the band is attached to the piece.
- You should end with 18 sc in this round.
  Save
- Join with sl st. Fasten off Color A.

Start by making a small round piece with single crochet using a magic ring. First you make 6 single crochet, then increase to 12, and then to 18 stitches. In the third round, you place the rubber band over the circle and crochet over it so the elastic becomes attached to this first center piece. Cut the yarn and secure the ends.

Part B: Second Center Piece (Bean 2)

With Color A again:

Rnd 1:
- Make a MR, 6 sc into the ring.
- Join with sl st to first sc. (6 sts)
Rnd 2:
- ch 1.
- Inc in each st around (2 sc in each st).
- Join with sl st. (12 sc)
Rnd 3:
- ch 1.
- Work the pattern: 1 sc, then inc in next st.
- Repeat 1 sc, inc around.
- Join with sl st. (18 sc)

Do not fasten off yet if you prefer to join directly, or fasten off and rejoin—your choice.

Make another identical round piece, again starting with a magic ring and 6 single crochet. In the second round you double each stitch to get 12 stitches. In the third round you work one single crochet in one stitch, then two single crochet in the next stitch, repeating this to get 18 stitches. This gives you a second disc to join to the first one.

Part C: Joining Both Centers & Stuffing (Fourth Round)

Place Bean 2 on top of Bean 1, with the rubber band sandwiched between or attached to Bean 1 below.

Rnd 4 (Joining Round):
- With Color A, insert hook through a stitch on Bean 2 and the corresponding stitch on Bean 1.
- ch 1.
- Work the following pattern around, through both layers:
  - 2 sc (one sc in each of the next 2 sts)
  - inc (2 sc in the next st)
    Save
  - Repeat 2 sc, inc around both pieces.
- This means: after every two single crochets, you increase in the next stitch.
- At some point before completing the full round, remove the hook, and gently stuff the center with cotton or fiberfill.
- Reinsert the hook and continue 2 sc, inc until the round is complete.
- Join with sl st, fasten off Color A.

Place the second disc on top of the first disc so they align. Crochet through both layers at the same time: work two single crochets in separate stitches, then two single crochets in the next stitch (an increase), and repeat this pattern all around. Before closing the round completely, put a little cotton or fiberfill inside so the middle of the flower becomes slightly raised and padded. Then finish the round and cut the yarn.

Part D: Petals Around the Flower

Switch to Color B (white):

Join Color B in any stitch on the outer edge of the joined center.

Each petal is made over three stitches:

Petal Pattern (repeat around):
- Join Color B with sl st in any st, ch 1 to secure.
- For each petal:
  - ch 3
  - In next st, work 2 tr
  - In next st, work 2 tr again
    Save
  - ch 3
  - sl st in the next st to close the petal

Continue this pattern all the way around:

ch 3, 2 tr in next st, 2 tr in next st, ch 3, sl st in next st
Repeat for each petal around the flower.

When you reach the starting point:

After your last ch 3, sl st into the stitch where you began or the next available stitch to finish the round.
Fasten off Color B, leaving a tail for sewing.
Save

Change to white yarn. To make each petal, you first chain 3, then make two triple crochets into one stitch, and two triple crochets into the next stitch. After that, you chain 3 and slip stitch into the next stitch to close the petal. Repeat this same sequence all around the flower until you have a complete ring of petals, then cut the yarn.

9. Assembly & Finishing

Join the Gap Between First and Last Petal:
- You may see a small gap between your first and last petal.
- Thread your yarn needle with the remaining white tail.
- Insert the needle through the edge of the first petal and then through the edge of the last petal, pulling gently to close the gap.
- Repeat once more if needed for an even look.
Secure and Hide Ends:
- Tie a small knot in the white thread if necessary, keeping it within the white area so it’s not visible from the front.
- Weave the tail into the back of the petals and center.
- Bring the tail to the inside and trim excess.
- Weave in any remaining ends from Color A (center color) as well.
Check Rubber Band Attachment:
- Ensure the rubber band is firmly attached to the center.
- Stretch lightly to confirm it is secure but not overly tight on the crochet stitches.

Your daisy hair tie is now ready to use with any hairstyle.

For non‑pattern readers (Finishing explanation):
Use a needle and the white yarn tail to sew the first and last petals together so there isn’t a visible gap. Secure the knot inside the white area and hide the thread ends inside the flower by weaving them in and trimming the extra. Check that the rubber band is properly attached and your accessory is ready to wear.
