DAISY
KITCHEN TOWEL RING
I have been thinking of adding a splash of colour to the kitchen
for a while, and last night, unable to sleep, I got this idea – so here’s my
Daisy Kitchen towel ring.
While it says kitchen towel, you could use the idea for any towel ring .. let the creativity flow.

Please read through all my notes before you pick up your hook, so you know just where we're heading in our pattern.
This pattern is in three parts.
In the first part you will wrap the ring and in the second part you make the daisies. The final fun part is putting all of this together.
In the first part you will wrap the ring and in the second part you make the daisies. The final fun part is putting all of this together.
Part 1 :
In this part we wrap the ring and then we could work a small
floral round as well.
This floral round
(which I worked in white) is optional.
I found (after finishing) that maybe I should have worked this
round in another color, not white – as the daisies over shadow it – but you
work in your creativity.
A) Wrap the ring :
Attach your yarn to one side of the ring and work sc neatly around the ring.
Work sc in multiples of 4.
Join with a sl-st to the 1st st.
Single Crochet : Sc : yo, insert hk into st ; yo (2 lps on hk); yo, draw through both lps. One sc made. Check out the video at https://youtu.be/ghACqBpA-3k
First stitch for Single Crochet : This is how I like to start my row of sc. Check out the video at https://youtu.be/6pVYRfsf4_M
B) The floral border :
Attach your yarn to any stitch and work a sc in that same st.
*Work a hdc in the next st ; 2 dc in the next st ;
hdc in the next st and sc in the next st* ;
Work *to* all around and join with a sl-st to the 1st sc.
Fasten off and weave in ends.
Chainless start for Half Double Crochet : I dislike the ch-2 start, and this is what I do to start my row of hdc. Check out the video at https://youtu.be/lWXpl1KdbZ8
Half Double Crochet : Hdc : yo, insert hk into st ; yo (3 lps on hk) ;
yo, draw through all 3 lps. One hdc made.
Check out the video at https://youtu.be/sDiELJdB2Dg
Double Crochet : dc : yo, insert hk into st ; yo (3 lps on hk);
[yo, draw through 2 lps] twice. One dc made.

Part 2 :
In this part, we make tiny little daisies
For the daisy, I have used a yellow centre and white yarn for
petals.
Magic circle : To refresh your skill, please view this easy video https://youtu.be/ISC39yOqWro
Start Round 1 : (Using yellow) :
with a magic
circle and work 6 sc in that circle.
Join
with a sl-st to the 1st st.
Fasten off yellow. Attach
white.
Start Round 2 : (Using white) :
[with sc + hdc + dc + hdc + sc]
all in the 1st st ;
rep [to] in the next st and in each st all around.
Join
with a sl-st to the 1st st.
Fasten off and leave a tail for attachment.
I have chosen to make 6 daisies, but make as many as you’d like
and arrange them first before joining the petals to form your bouquet.
Part 3 :
In this final part, we put it all together.
Please take a ook at my finished project for inspiration and clarification.
1) First attach your first row of daisies to
the ring and then build your bouquet.
2) When you have your bouquet all set, still using white yarn, we need to work on a chain to hold this creation up. Work 1 sc in the dc
of the top daisy.
3) Work as many chain as
you think you need to keep your towel ring dangling.
I worked 30 ch.
4) When you have a long enough chain, sc into
the top of the daisy next to it (or if you have just one daisy on top, then
into the same st as before).
5) Turn and
work sc all the way down the chain.
6) Fasten off and weave in ends.
Once done, all I’ve done is loop it around the holder ring (the
one in the wall) and then put my kitchen towel inTO THE RING.
I love this extra spot of brightness in my kitchen.. what about
you?
