In this post, you will find everything you need to complete this cute crochet flower pot from start to finish — materials, abbreviations, step-by-step pattern instructions, and helpful tips along the way. By the end, you will have a sweet little stuffed daisy that looks just like it is growing in a tiny terracotta-style pot. Let’s get started.
Why You Will Love This Daisy Amigurumi Pattern
Amigurumi is the Japanese art of crocheting small stuffed toys and figures, and it has taken the crafting world by storm for good reason. The technique relies almost entirely on the magic ring and single crochet stitches worked in continuous rounds, which means even beginners can produce adorable results relatively quickly. The daisy flower pot design is particularly appealing because it combines two separate elements — the flower itself and the pot — and then joins them together for a finished piece that looks polished and purposeful.
This project is also incredibly versatile. Make it in classic white and yellow for a traditional daisy, or go wild with color and create a rainbow garden of amigurumi flowers. Pink petals with a lavender center, purple petals with a white center, or even multicolored petals all work beautifully with this pattern. You can adjust the size by going up or down in hook size and yarn weight, making it easy to scale the flower pot to fit a windowsill display or a keychain charm.
The finished amigurumi daisy typically measures about 4 to 5 inches tall from the base of the pot to the top of the flower, making it a satisfying tabletop decoration that is compact enough to gift easily and substantial enough to actually display.
Materials You Will Need
Before you dive into the pattern, gather everything you need so your crafting session can flow without interruption.
Yarn: You will need worsted weight yarn (Category 4) in the following colors — white for the petals, yellow for the flower center, green for the stem and leaves, and brown or terracotta for the pot. If you prefer a lighter, more delicate look, you can substitute DK weight yarn and adjust your hook size accordingly.
Crochet Hook: A 3.5mm or 4.0mm crochet hook works well for worsted weight yarn when crocheting amigurumi. You want a tight gauge so that the stuffing does not show through the stitches.
Stuffing: Polyester fiberfill stuffing is the standard choice for amigurumi. Use enough to give the flower head and pot a firm, rounded shape without overstuffing to the point of distortion.
Safety Eyes: Two 6mm or 9mm black safety eyes, if you want to give your daisy a face. This is entirely optional — the daisy looks beautiful with or without eyes, and adding them gives it a playful, character-driven look.
Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends and sewing pieces together.
Stitch Markers: These are helpful for marking the beginning of each round when working in continuous rounds.
Scissors: For cutting yarn between pieces.

Pattern Instructions
Part One: The Flower Center
The flower center is a small, round, stuffed sphere worked in yellow yarn. It forms the middle of the daisy and is the first piece you will make.
Round 1: MR, 6 sc into the ring. (6 sts)
Round 2: Inc in each st around. (12 sts)
Round 3: Sc 1, inc rep around. (18 sts)
Round 4: Sc 2, inc rep around. (24 sts)
Round 5: Sc in each st around. (24 sts)
Round 6: Sc 2, dec rep around. (18 sts)
If you are adding safety eyes, attach them now between Rounds 3 and 4, spaced about 4 stitches apart.
Round 7: Sc 1, dec rep around. (12 sts)
Begin stuffing the flower center firmly with fiberfill.
Round 8: Dec around. (6 sts)
Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Use your tapestry needle to close the remaining opening by threading the tail through the front loops of the remaining 6 stitches and pulling tight. Weave in the end.
Part Two: The Petals
The petals are worked separately and then attached around the flower center. Each petal is a small, elongated oval shape. Make 8 petals in white yarn.
Round 1: MR, 6 sc into the ring. (6 sts)
Round 2: Inc in each st around. (12 sts)
Round 3: Sc 1, inc rep around. (18 sts)
Round 4 – Round 5: Sc in each st around. (18 sts)
Round 6: Sc 1, dec rep around. (12 sts)
Round 7: Dec around. (6 sts)
Do not stuff the petals. Flatten each petal and close the opening with a slip stitch. Leave a tail for sewing. Make all 8 petals before moving on to the assembly stage.
Part Three: The Stem
The stem connects the flower head to the pot and gives your amigurumi that satisfying sense of depth and realism.
Round 1: MR, 6 sc into the ring. (6 sts)
Round 2 – Round 16: Sc in each st around. (6 sts per round)
The stem should be a narrow, firm tube. Stuff it lightly as you go so it holds its shape but is not stiff. Fasten off and leave a long tail for attaching to the flower head and pot.
Part Four: The Leaves
Make 2 leaves in green yarn.
Round 1: Ch 8. Starting in the second chain from the hook, sc 6, 3 sc in the last chain. Rotating to work along the other side of the chain, sc 5, sl st in the first sc to close. (You will have a leaf shape.)
Round 2: Ch 1, sc around the entire leaf, working 3 sc into the tip of the leaf to keep it pointed. Sl st to join.
Fasten off and leave a tail for attaching to the stem.
Part Five: The Flower Pot
The flower pot is the base of the entire project and gives the amigurumi its classic potted-plant look. It is worked in brown or terracotta yarn.
Round 1: MR, 6 sc into the ring. (6 sts)
Round 2: Inc in each st around. (12 sts)
Round 3: Sc 1, inc rep around. (18 sts)
Round 4: Sc 2, inc rep around. (24 sts)
Round 5: Sc 3, inc rep around. (30 sts)
Round 6: Sc 4, inc rep around. (36 sts)
Round 7: BLO sc in each st around. (36 sts) — This creates the flat base of the pot.
Round 8 – Round 14: Sc in each st around. (36 sts)
Round 15: Sc 4, dec rep around. (30 sts)
Round 16: Sc in each st around. (30 sts)
Round 17: FLO inc in each st around. (60 sts) — This creates the lip or rim of the pot.
Round 18: Sc in each st around. (60 sts)
Round 19: Sl st in each st around. Fasten off and weave in ends.
Before you close the pot entirely, stuff it firmly so the base holds a nice rounded shape and the sides stay sturdy.
Part Six: The Soil Top
This small circle sits inside the top of the pot and gives the illusion of soil. Work it in dark brown or dark green yarn.
Round 1: MR, 6 sc into the ring. (6 sts)
Round 2: Inc in each st around. (12 sts)
Round 3: Sc 1, inc rep around. (18 sts)
Round 4: Sc 2, inc rep around. (24 sts)
Round 5: Sc 3, inc rep around. (30 sts)
Fasten off and leave a long tail. Sew this circle to the top of the pot, leaving a small opening in the center where the stem will be inserted.
Assembly Instructions
Assembly is the most satisfying part of any amigurumi project, and this one comes together beautifully with a little patience and a good tapestry needle.
Step 1 — Attach the petals to the flower center. Arrange all 8 petals evenly around the circumference of the yellow flower center. Pin them in place if needed to ensure even spacing. Using the long tails, sew each petal securely to the underside of the flower center. The petals should fan outward like a real daisy, framing the yellow center.
Step 2 — Attach the stem to the flower head. Using the tail at the top of the stem, sew it firmly to the underside of the assembled flower head (where the petals meet the center). Make sure the connection is secure, as this joint bears the most stress.
Step 3 — Attach the leaves to the stem. Position each leaf on the stem roughly a third of the way down from the flower head. Sew them to opposite sides of the stem so they splay outward naturally.
Step 4 — Insert the stem into the pot. Thread the bottom end of the stem through the opening in the soil circle and into the pot. Sew the base of the stem to the inside of the pot through the soil circle, then sew the edges of the soil circle to the rim of the pot opening. This secures everything in place and conceals all the inner workings of the assembly.
Step 5 — Final finishing. Weave in any remaining ends. Give your daisy a gentle reshape — fluff the petals outward, straighten the stem, and make sure the pot sits flat. Your daisy amigurumi is complete.
Tips for the Best Results
Tension is everything in amigurumi. Work your stitches tightly enough that you cannot see the stuffing through the fabric, but not so tightly that your hands ache or the stitches become difficult to work into. A 3.5mm hook with worsted yarn is usually the sweet spot for most crocheters.
Use a stitch marker every single round. Amigurumi is worked in continuous spirals, not joined rounds, so it is easy to lose your place. Moving your stitch marker at the start of every round will save you from having to count back through rows of stitches to find your mistake.
Stuff gradually as you go. Rather than leaving all your stuffing until the piece is nearly closed, add small amounts throughout. This prevents lumpy areas and makes it much easier to get an even, firm result.
Experiment with yarn texture. A slightly fuzzy yarn or a chenille yarn can give your daisy petals a wonderfully soft, velvety look. Just be aware that fuzzy yarns can make it harder to see your stitches clearly, so they are better suited to crocheters who already feel comfortable with the pattern.
Customize your pot colors. While terracotta and brown are the classic choices for a flower pot, there is no reason you cannot use a soft sage green, a bright cobalt blue, or a pastel pink. The pot is essentially a decorative container, and the color you choose changes the entire personality of the finished piece. A white pot with yellow flowers has a modern, Scandi aesthetic; a bright red pot with white daisies feels festive and bold.
Gifting and Display Ideas
One of the great joys of this pattern is how giftable the finished daisy amigurumi is. It requires no vase, no water, no sunlight, and no care — just a shelf, a desk, or a windowsill and a little bit of admiration.
Consider making a small cluster of three or five daisy pots in different sizes and displaying them together as a little crocheted garden. You can also add a small crocheted bee or butterfly hovering near the flower for extra whimsy — these are easy additions once you are comfortable with basic amigurumi shaping.
For gifting, a single daisy amigurumi tucked into a small gift box with some tissue paper makes a beautiful, heartfelt present for birthdays, Mother’s Day, teacher appreciation, or simply as a way to brighten someone’s day. Because it is handmade, it carries a warmth and intentionality that no store-bought item can replicate.
If you are a crafter who sells at markets or in online shops, this pattern has strong commercial appeal. Small, cheerful, and seasonally appropriate through spring and summer especially, daisy amigurumis tend to sell well and can be made quickly once you have memorized the pattern — usually in two to three hours per piece once you are comfortable.
Caring for Your Crocheted Daisy
Because this project uses polyester fiberfill and standard acrylic or wool yarn, care is straightforward. Most acrylic yarns are machine washable on a gentle cycle, but always check the yarn label first. If you have used wool, hand washing in cool water is the safest option. Lay flat to dry to preserve the shape of the flower head and pot. Avoid wringing or twisting, as this can distort the amigurumi’s shape.
For dust, a light shake or a pass with a lint roller is usually sufficient. If your daisy lives in a particularly sunny spot, be aware that prolonged sun exposure can fade yarn over time, so a spot with indirect light will keep your colors vibrant for longer.
Final Thoughts
This daisy flower amigurumi crochet pattern is one of those projects that never gets old. It is cheerful, approachable, and endlessly customizable, and it produces a finished piece that genuinely looks like something you might find in a charming boutique rather than something you made on your couch on a Sunday afternoon. That is the magic of amigurumi — the gap between “easy to make” and “beautiful to display” is surprisingly small once you know a few basic techniques.
Whether this is your very first amigurumi or your fiftieth, the daisy flower pot is a pattern worth returning to. Make one for yourself, make one for a friend, make ten in different colors and line them along a shelf like the happiest little garden imaginable. However you choose to enjoy this project, happy crocheting — and may your stitches always be even and your yarn always be tangle-free.
