Crochet Lily Daisy Bouquet Pattern: Your Complete Guide to an Amigurumi Floral Arrangement (PDF Download)

There is something quietly magical about a bouquet of flowers that never wilts. No drooping petals, no water changes, no racing to the farmers market before the stems go soft. A crochet lily daisy bouquet sits on your shelf or in a vase for years, keeping every petal exactly where you placed it, as bright and cheerful on a gray November afternoon as it was the day you finished the last stitch. That permanence is part of what makes amigurumi florals so deeply satisfying to make — and so meaningful to give.

This pattern guide will walk you through everything you need to know to create a stunning crochet lily daisy bouquet, from the materials you will gather before you sit down to crochet to the finishing details that transform individual flowers into a cohesive, polished arrangement. Whether you are downloading this as a PDF to follow stitch by stitch at your craft table or reading through first to get a feel for the project, you are in exactly the right place.

What Is Amigurumi Florals, and Why Crochet a Bouquet?

Amigurumi is a Japanese crafting tradition that combines the words “ami,” meaning knitted or crocheted, and “nuigurumi,” meaning stuffed doll. While the term is most commonly associated with adorable stuffed animals, it has expanded over the years to include any small, three-dimensional crocheted object worked in the round — and flowers are among the most beloved applications of the technique.

Crocheting flowers in the amigurumi style means building them from the center outward, using tight, small stitches that give each piece a firm, sculptural shape. Unlike flat crochet appliqué flowers, amigurumi florals have depth and dimension. A crochet lily petal curves naturally. A daisy center sits up slightly from its surrounding petals. The whole arrangement, when assembled and placed in a vase or wrapped in kraft paper with a ribbon, looks remarkably like the real thing — soft, lush, and full of life.

People crochet bouquets for dozens of reasons. Brides and bridesmaids are carrying them down aisles more and more often, drawn by their heirloom quality and the fact that the flowers can be kept forever. Crafters make them as heartfelt handmade gifts for birthdays, Mother’s Day, housewarming celebrations, and graduations. Many makers also sell their finished bouquets at craft markets and in online shops, where the demand for handmade home décor continues to grow. And sometimes, honestly, the reason is simply that crocheting something beautiful is its own reward.

A lily daisy combination is particularly popular because the two flowers complement each other so well. Lilies bring drama — long, sweeping petals, elegant proportions, and a sense of occasion. Daisies bring cheerfulness — wide-open faces, bold contrast between their white petals and sunny centers, and an approachability that makes any arrangement feel friendly and relaxed. Together they strike a balance that works in almost every setting, from a farmhouse kitchen window to a modern apartment shelf.

Materials You Will Need

Before you open the pattern pages, gathering your materials will make the process smooth and enjoyable. Here is what you will want to have on hand.

Yarn. You will need worsted weight yarn in the colors of your choice for the petals and leaves. For a classic lily daisy bouquet, white and pale yellow are beautiful for daisies, with soft greens for leaves and stems, and warm peach, blush, coral, or deep burgundy for lilies. That said, this pattern is endlessly adaptable — lavender lilies and yellow daisies, all-white blooms for a wedding bouquet, or a riot of mixed colors for a summer garden arrangement are all wonderful interpretations.

Crochet hook. A 3.5mm or 4.0mm hook works well for most worsted weight yarns and gives a tight enough fabric to hold the flower shapes without gaps.

Polyfill stuffing. A small amount of polyfill or fiberfill stuffing will be used to give the daisy centers and lily centers their soft, rounded shapes.

Wire stems. Floral wire or pipe cleaners wrapped in floral tape are the traditional choice for amigurumi bouquet stems. They allow you to bend and arrange the flowers exactly as you wish. If you prefer a no-wire version, the pattern also includes instructions for crocheted stems worked in the round.

Green floral tape. If you are using wire stems, floral tape wrapped around the wire before you crochet over it (or after, to cover the connection point) gives a tidy, professional finish.

Stitch markers. Amigurumi is worked in continuous rounds, so stitch markers are essential for keeping track of where each round begins and ends.

Yarn needle. For weaving in ends and sewing pieces together.

Scissors. The obvious but always worth mentioning.

Optional: small beads or buttons. Some makers like to add a tiny bead or button accent at the very center of each daisy for an extra touch of realism.

Understanding the Pattern: Skill Level and Gauge

This crochet lily daisy bouquet pattern is designed for intermediate crocheters. If you are comfortable working in the round, increasing and decreasing, and sewing crocheted pieces together, you will find this pattern very accessible. Beginners who know their basic stitches — chain, slip stitch, single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, and treble crochet — and are willing to move through the instructions patiently will also be able to complete the project successfully.

Gauge is not critical for this pattern in the way it is for garments, since we are not trying to achieve a specific size for fit. What matters is that your fabric is tight enough to hold its shape. If your stitches are very loose and you can see gaps in the fabric, try moving down a hook size. A firmer fabric will produce a more sculptural, polished flower.

The finished daisy measures approximately 3 inches across when worked at the recommended gauge. The finished lily is slightly larger, with a bloom roughly 4 to 4.5 inches across. Each stem, when finished, can be made to whatever length suits your arrangement — typically between 8 and 14 inches.

The Daisy: Step-by-Step Instructions

Each daisy in the bouquet consists of three crocheted pieces: the center disk, the petal ring, and the back base. Let us walk through each one.

The Daisy Center Disk

Begin with a magic ring. Round 1: work 6 single crochet stitches into the ring and pull it closed (6 stitches). Round 2: increase in every stitch around (12 stitches). Round 3: single crochet 1, increase, repeat around (18 stitches). Round 4: single crochet 2, increase, repeat around (24 stitches). Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.

Work a second identical disk but do not fasten off. Instead, stuff lightly with a small pinch of polyfill, then hold the two disks together with wrong sides facing and single crochet around the outer edge to join them, creating a slightly puffy, rounded center. Fasten off and weave in ends.

The Daisy Petal Ring

Chain 60. Slip stitch into the first chain to form a ring, being careful not to twist the chain. Now work each petal directly into the chain ring. For each petal: chain 1, work 1 single crochet, 1 half double crochet, 3 double crochet, 1 half double crochet, 1 single crochet, then slip stitch into the ring 4 chains from the base of the last petal. Repeat until you have worked 10 to 12 petals around the ring, depending on how full you would like the daisy.

Alternatively, if you prefer working each petal individually and sewing them on, the pattern PDF includes a single-petal chart as well. This method gives you slightly more control over petal shape and spacing.

Assembling the Daisy

Place the petal ring flat. Center the stuffed disk on top of it and sew around the edge of the disk, attaching it firmly to the petal ring. The back base (a small flat circle worked to the same diameter as the disk) is then sewn to the underside of the petal ring, enclosing the wire stem or crocheted stem between the layers as you sew. Pull snugly to secure the stem, then weave in all remaining ends.

The Lily: Step-by-Step Instructions

The crochet lily is built differently from the daisy. Rather than a flat petal ring, the lily has six individual petals that are crocheted and then assembled around a central cone.

The Lily Petal (make 6)

Chain 10. Row 1: beginning in the second chain from the hook, work 1 single crochet, 1 half double crochet, 2 double crochet, 2 treble crochet, 2 double crochet, 1 half double crochet. Chain 2, turn.

Row 2: single crochet in the first stitch, half double crochet in the next, double crochet in the next 2, treble crochet in the next 2, double crochet in the next 2, half double crochet in the last. Do not turn. Continue working around the petal, placing stitches down the second side of the foundation chain symmetrically. Slip stitch to join at the base of the petal. Fasten off, leaving a tail.

For a more realistic lily, lightly steam block each petal over a towel before assembling. This softens the yarn and allows you to gently curve each petal backward into that characteristic lily shape.

The Lily Center Cone

Begin with a magic ring. Round 1: 4 single crochet. Round 2: increase every other stitch (6 stitches). Round 3: work even. Round 4: increase every third stitch (8 stitches). Rounds 5-8: work even. The cone should measure about 1.5 inches tall. Do not stuff. Fasten off, leaving a long tail.

The Lily Stamens (optional but beautiful)

Cut 6 short pieces of yellow or cream yarn, approximately 2.5 inches each. Fold each piece in half and pull the looped end through the tip of the center cone using your yarn needle, then pull the tails through the loop and tighten. Trim to a uniform length of about 0.75 inches. These little fringe stamens give the lily a gorgeous, naturalistic look.

Assembling the Lily

Arrange the six petals evenly around the base of the center cone. Using your yarn needle and the tail from each petal, sew each one securely to the base of the cone, spacing them as evenly as possible. Insert the wire stem into the base of the cone from the bottom, bending the top of the wire into a small hook to anchor it inside before sewing the base closed around the stem. Fasten all ends securely.

Making the Leaves and Stems

No bouquet is complete without greenery. The leaf in this pattern is a simple pointed oval worked flat, and it attaches directly to the stem with a few whipstitches.

Single Leaf

Chain 12. Row 1: beginning in the second chain from the hook, single crochet 4, half double crochet 2, double crochet 2, treble crochet 2. Work 3 treble crochet into the last chain for the leaf tip. Now work back down the second side of the foundation chain, mirroring the stitch sequence. Slip stitch to the first stitch to close. Fasten off, leaving a tail. Block lightly for shape.

For crocheted stems, work a chain of the desired length and then work 1 single crochet into each chain back to the beginning. This creates a neat, flat stem. For a rounder stem, work in the round over a wire armature, crocheting a tight tube of single crochet stitches.

Assembling the Bouquet

With all of your flowers, leaves, and stems complete, the most fun part begins: arranging your bouquet. There is no single right way to do this, which is part of the joy.

Start by grouping your tallest flowers — typically the lilies — at the center of the arrangement, then surround them with the daisies at slightly varying heights. Tuck leaves in between blooms where the green adds balance and softens any visual gaps. Bend wire stems gently to create natural-looking curves.

Once you are happy with the arrangement, bind the stems together at the base with floral tape, ribbon, or a length of coordinating yarn wrapped neatly around the bundle. If you are making a bridal or gift bouquet, wrapping the stems in satin ribbon and securing it with a pearl-tipped pin creates an incredibly elegant finish.

For a vase arrangement, simply trim the stems to a uniform or graduated length and place the bouquet in a vessel of your choice. A clear glass bud vase shows off the stems beautifully; a rustic ceramic pot creates a cottage garden feel.

Customizing Your Crochet Lily Daisy Bouquet

One of the greatest gifts of a crochet pattern is how freely you can adapt it to suit your style, the occasion, or the person you are making it for.

Color is the most obvious variable. A blush and ivory bouquet reads as romantic and bridal. A bright mix of yellow, orange, and red reads as bold and energetic — perfect as a birthday gift or a cheerful home accent. Dusty sage, terracotta, and cream have an earthy, autumnal warmth. Pure white throughout is striking and modern.

Scale is another wonderful tool. Working the pattern with a finer yarn and smaller hook produces a miniature bouquet that would look enchanting on a bookshelf or in a tiny vase. Scaling up with bulky yarn and a larger hook produces a lush, statement arrangement.

You can also mix in other flower types. The daisy center and lily petal techniques used in this pattern are building blocks you can adapt to create sunflowers, tulips, poppies, or wildflowers. A truly mixed garden bouquet with five or six varieties of flowers is a spectacular project to work toward.

Care Instructions for Your Finished Bouquet

Because your bouquet is made from yarn, it does not need watering, sunlight, or any of the other attention that living flowers require. However, a few simple care guidelines will keep it looking beautiful for years.

Keep it out of direct sunlight for extended periods, as prolonged UV exposure can fade yarn colors. If the bouquet collects dust over time, a gentle pass with a hair dryer on the cool setting will blow dust away without disturbing the flowers. If a flower gets slightly misshapen, you can re-block it by lightly spritzing with water and reshaping with your fingers, then leaving it to dry.

If any petals or leaves work loose over time, a dab of clear fabric glue at the connection point will secure them again without being visible.
