I’ll walk you through every step, explain the stitches, share tips for getting the tension right, and even suggest some fun ways to customize your daisy charm. Let’s get into it.

Why Crochet Phone Charms Are So Popular Right Now

Before we dive into the pattern itself, let’s take a moment to appreciate why these little projects have captured so many hearts. Phone charms are not a new concept — they were everywhere in the early 2000s, dangling from flip phones and Nokia bricks — but they’ve made a serious comeback, and this time they come with a handmade, cottagecore twist.

Crochet phone charms sit at the intersection of nostalgia and modern craft culture. They’re small enough that even a beginner can finish one in a single sitting, which makes them incredibly satisfying. They use up scrap yarn, so they’re budget-friendly. And because they’re so tiny, you can experiment with colors and styles without committing to a big project. A daisy is particularly popular because it reads as cheerful and vintage at the same time, with that simple white-petal-yellow-center look that works with almost any phone case.

If you want to sell your handmade work, crochet phone charms are also fantastic for craft fairs and online shops. They’re lightweight, easy to ship, and they photograph beautifully. Many crafters use them as filler products or stocking stuffers, and a daisy phone charm pattern like this one is consistently popular across all seasons.

What You’ll Need for This Crochet Daisy Phone Charm Pattern

One of the best things about this project is how minimal the supply list is. You don’t need a big yarn stash or any special tools. Here’s what to gather before you start.

Yarn: You’ll want a small amount of fingering weight or size 1 yarn for this pattern. Cotton yarn works beautifully for small amigurumi-style projects because it has minimal stretch and holds its shape well. You’ll need white or cream for the petals and yellow for the center. A third color is optional if you want to add any accent details. You’re really only using a few yards of each color, so this is the perfect scrap yarn project.

Hook: A 2.25mm or 2.5mm crochet hook is ideal for fingering weight yarn. If you’re working with a slightly thicker yarn, like size 3 or DK weight, step up to a 3.0mm or 3.5mm hook. The smaller the hook relative to your yarn, the tighter your fabric will be, which is exactly what you want for a tiny charm that needs to hold its shape.

Other supplies: You’ll need a yarn needle for weaving in ends and sewing pieces together. You’ll also need a phone strap attachment or lanyard loop — these are small metal loops or plastic connectors that attach to your phone’s strap hole and give you somewhere to tie your charm. You can find these online or at craft stores, often sold as “phone strap connectors” or “cell phone lanyard loops.” Pick up a small stitch marker as well; it’ll make working in the round much easier.

Optional: A small amount of polyfill stuffing if you want a slightly 3D daisy center. Scissors, of course. And if you want to make a chain-style strap, you’ll need a bit of extra yarn in any color you like.

Understanding the Stitches Used in This Pattern

This crochet flower phone strap pattern uses only a handful of basic stitches, which is part of what makes it so beginner-friendly. Here’s a quick rundown of everything you’ll encounter.

Magic ring (also called a magic circle): This is the foundation for most things worked in the round, including the daisy center. It lets you start with a tight, closed center rather than a visible hole. If you’ve never done one before, it takes just a minute to learn and practice, and there are plenty of video tutorials available if you want a visual guide.

Chain stitch (ch): The most fundamental crochet stitch. You’ll use it to create the petal shapes and optionally to make the phone strap cord itself.

Slip stitch (sl st): Used to join rounds and to attach the petals to the center.

Single crochet (sc): A short, tight stitch that forms the body of the daisy center.

Half double crochet (hdc): A medium-height stitch used in the petals to create a bit of curve and dimension.

Double crochet (dc): A taller stitch used in the middle of each petal to create that classic rounded daisy petal shape.

If you’re comfortable with all of these stitches already, you’re completely ready to dive in. If any of them are new to you, a quick five-minute review will get you up to speed before you start.

Crochet Daisy Phone Charm Pattern Instructions

Let’s get into the actual pattern. This will make one daisy charm, approximately 3 to 4 centimeters across depending on your yarn and hook size. I’ll write everything out in full, but I’ll also include abbreviations for those who prefer the shorthand.

Abbreviations used:
ch = chain, sl st = slip stitch, sc = single crochet, hdc = half double crochet, dc = double crochet, MR = magic ring, st = stitch, rnd = round

Part One: The Daisy Center (worked in yellow yarn)

Start with your yellow yarn and create a magic ring.

Rnd 1: Work 6 sc into the magic ring. Pull the tail to tighten the ring. Do not join. Place a stitch marker in the first stitch of the round to help you track your place. (6 sc)

Rnd 2: Work 2 sc in each stitch around. (12 sc)

Rnd 3: Sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the next stitch. Repeat from to around. (18 sc)

If you want a slightly raised, domed center, stuff the piece lightly with a tiny bit of polyfill before closing. If you prefer a flat daisy, skip the stuffing.

Rnd 4: Sc in each of the next 2 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch. Repeat from to around. (24 sc)

Slip stitch to the next stitch to finish. Fasten off with a long tail for sewing. Do not cut the yarn too short — you’ll use this tail to attach the petals later, or you can use a separate length of yellow yarn.

Part Two: The Petals (worked in white or cream yarn)

You’ll make 8 petals for this daisy. Each petal is worked individually and then attached to the center, or you can work them directly onto the outer edge of the center, whichever you prefer. I’ll give you instructions for both.

Individual Petal (make 8):

With white or cream yarn, create a foundation chain of 6.

Row 1: Starting in the second chain from the hook, work 1 hdc, 1 dc, 1 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc. Turn. (5 sts)

Row 2: Ch 1, work 1 sc in each stitch across. (5 sc)

Without turning, work a slip stitch border along the side of the petal, along the bottom of the foundation chain, and back up the other side to give the petal a clean, rounded edge.

Fasten off with a tail for sewing.

Alternatively, working petals directly onto the center:

Join your white yarn to any stitch on the outer edge of the finished daisy center. Ch 6, hdc in the 2nd chain from hook, dc in the next, dc in the next, hdc in the next, sc in the last, sl st back to the base where you started the chain. This creates one petal. Sl st into the next 2 stitches of the center circle, then repeat from to for the next petal. Continue until you have 8 petals evenly spaced around the center.

This second method is slightly trickier to get even spacing, but it eliminates the sewing step, which many crocheters prefer. Choose whichever feels more comfortable for you.

Part Three: Assembling the Daisy

If you made individual petals, lay them out around the yellow center, evenly spaced. Thread your yarn needle with a tail from one petal and sew it securely to the back of the center disc. Repeat for each petal, attaching them in a circle. Make sure they’re all angled the same direction and spaced consistently.

Once all petals are attached, weave in any remaining ends. Give the daisy a gentle press or flatten it with your fingers to make sure everything lies flat and even.

Part Four: Making the Phone Strap Cord

Now you need to connect your daisy to the phone strap attachment. There are several ways to do this.

Simple chain cord: With any color yarn you like — white, yellow, or a contrasting color — create a chain of approximately 30 to 40 stitches. This gives you a cord of roughly 4 to 6 centimeters, which is a nice length for a phone charm. Slip stitch back along the chain to create a slightly sturdier cord, or leave it as a single chain for a more delicate look. Thread one end through the loop at the back of the daisy and tie securely. Thread the other end through your phone strap attachment loop and tie securely.

Braided cord: Cut three lengths of yarn, each about 20 centimeters long. Knot them together at one end, braid them, and knot the other end. Trim neatly. This creates a chunkier, more textured cord with a lovely handmade feel.

Crochet cord: For the most polished look, crochet a tiny I-cord or a very narrow rectangular cord using just 2 or 3 stitches per row. Work it to your desired length, then attach it to both the daisy and the strap loop.

Once your cord is attached and your phone strap loop is secured, you’re done. Give everything one last check to make sure all knots are tight and all ends are woven in thoroughly.

Tips for Getting the Best Results

A few things that will make a big difference in how your finished charm looks and holds up over time.

Tension matters a lot in small projects. Because this daisy is so tiny, even a small variation in tension can make it look uneven. Try to keep your stitches consistent throughout. If your tension tends to be loose, go down a hook size. If it tends to be tight, go up a size.

Use cotton yarn if you can. Acrylic yarn is fine and works perfectly well, but cotton yarn gives tiny crochet projects a crisper, cleaner look. It also photographs better if you’re planning to sell or share your work online.

Secure your strap attachment carefully. The phone strap loop is the one weak point in a charm like this. If it comes loose, the whole thing falls off your phone. Use a double or triple knot when attaching your cord to the loop, and consider adding a tiny drop of fabric glue to the knot for extra security.

Block your daisy if it needs it. If your petals are curling or the center isn’t lying flat, a quick wet blocking will fix it right up. Just dampen the daisy slightly, pin it into shape on a foam mat, and let it dry completely.

Fun Ways to Customize Your Crochet Daisy Phone Charm

One of the most joyful things about a pattern this simple is how much room there is to make it your own.

Try making the petals in lavender or soft pink instead of white for a different flower vibe. Use a contrasting color for the center — deep orange, pale pink, or even black for a graphic, modern look. Add tiny beads to the tips of the petals for sparkle. Make multiple small daisies and attach them to a longer cord for a daisy chain phone strap that hangs lower. Mix your daisy with other small charms — a tiny crochet mushroom, a little star, a miniature strawberry — on the same cord for a maximalist charm cluster that’s entirely one of a kind.

You can also scale the pattern up using worsted weight yarn and a 4mm hook for a larger decorative flower that could hang from a bag, a backpack zipper, or a rearview mirror.

Storing and Caring for Your Crochet Phone Charm

These little charms are surprisingly durable once they’re finished, but a few simple habits will keep them looking their best.

Store them flat or hanging rather than squishing them in a bag, which can distort the petals over time. If they get dusty or grimy, hand wash gently in cool water with a drop of mild soap, rinse thoroughly, reshape by hand, and let air dry completely before reattaching to your phone. Avoid machine washing, as the agitation can felt cotton yarn and warp the shape.

This Pattern as a PDF Tutorial

If you’d like to save this pattern and reference it offline, consider compiling it into a PDF document with photos of each step. A good PDF crochet pattern includes the materials list, abbreviations, stitch key, step-by-step written instructions, and photos of the finished project. If you plan to sell your PDF patterns on platforms like Etsy or Ravelry, make sure your photography is clear and bright, and that your instructions are tested by at least one other crocheter before listing. Beginner-friendly patterns with clear photos and well-organized formatting consistently outperform patterns that assume prior knowledge.
