Legs and Body
3.5mm hook - I change colours in the centre of the back.
Rnds 1 - 38: Black.
Rnds 39 - 44: Yellow.
Rnds 45 - 73: Starting with black, work 6rnds of black, then 6rnds of yellow til you reach the neck….then change to your chosen skin colour for the head.
Arms
3.5mm hook - I change colours on the inside of each arm so that the row changes are less obvious.
Rnds 1 - 10 (Hand): in your chosen skin colour.
Rnds 11 - 16: Black.
Rnds 17 - 49: Starting with yellow, work 6rnds of yellow, then 6rnds of black.
I added cuffs to the sleeve, neck and bottom of jumper - make lengths of foundation hdc to desired length and stitch in place.

Daisy;

With yellow yarn;
In a magic ring work 3 ch, then 10dc, sl st to join, ch1.
Rnd 2: Working in back loops only work 1sc in each st around, sl st to join, ch 1.
Rnd 3: Working in back loops only ch 2, 2sctog around, sl st to join, finish off leaving a tail for sewing on to wire - this side is the underside of your flower centre.

With white yarn;
With the top of your flower centre to the top (facing you), join the yarn in a loop from the base of round 3 - each petal will be (ch 8, sl st in 2nd ch from hook, 1 sc, then hdc back to starting ch, sl st in same st), sl st into next st on flower centre, then repeat the petals until you come back to your starting petal - ch 2, then repeat a second round of petals in the loops from the base of Rnd 2. Finish off.

I used a piece of florist wire - make a loop and bend it to sit flat, then using your yellow yarn, stitch the wire to the underside of your flower.

Sepals
With leaf green yarn;
4sc in a magic ring.
Rnd 2: (2sc in next st, 1sc) x 2.
Rnd 3: (2sc in next st, 2sc) x 2.
Rnd 4: (2sc in next st, 3sc) x 2.
Sl st into next st then work 5ch then 1sl st into 2nd ch from hook, 1 sc, 1hdc, 1dc. Skip in sc, sl st in next sc and work another 4 ‘leaves’, sl st into starting ch of first sepal to finish off. Slide sepal piece up the wire and stitch to underside of the flower.
