Crochet Lily Daisy Bouquet Pattern: Your Complete Guide to an Amigurumi Floral Arrangement
There is something quietly magical about a bouquet that never wilts. No drooping petals, no water changes, no watching something beautiful slowly fade on your kitchen table. A crochet lily daisy bouquet captures everything you love about fresh flowers and lets you keep it forever — or give it as a gift that will still look just as cheerful ten years from now. Whether you are a seasoned crocheter looking for your next satisfying project or an intermediate maker ready to level up your amigurumi skills, this pattern guide is going to walk you through everything you need to know to create a stunning handmade floral arrangement from scratch.
This crochet lily daisy bouquet pattern combines two of the most beloved flower shapes in fiber arts: the tall, elegant lily and the cheerful, open-faced daisy. Together they create an arrangement with real visual depth — the kind of bouquet that makes people stop and ask, “Wait, is that real?” The amigurumi approach gives each flower its own dimensional, sculptural quality, so the finished result looks like it belongs in a vase on a windowsill rather than flat on a page.
Let’s get into everything: materials, gauge, abbreviations, step-by-step instructions for each flower, and tips for assembling your finished bouquet.
Why You’ll Love This Pattern
Before we dive into the technical details, let’s talk about why this project is worth your time and yarn stash.
First, crochet flowers are genuinely satisfying to make. Each one comes together quickly — most of the individual blooms in this bouquet take under an hour — so you get that lovely sense of accomplishment repeatedly throughout the project rather than waiting until the very end. There is something about seeing a flat piece of yarn transform into a dimensional petal that never gets old.
Second, this pattern is incredibly versatile. You can make a single stem as a quick gift topper, a small cluster as a hair accessory, a generous bouquet for a centerpiece, or even a full wreath by arranging multiples together. The skills you build here — working in the round, increasing and decreasing to shape petals, stuffing small pieces for dimension — transfer directly to other amigurumi projects, so you are building your craft vocabulary at the same time.
Third, handmade crochet bouquets have become genuinely popular as gifts for weddings, baby showers, birthdays, Mother’s Day, and graduations. Unlike fresh flowers, they are not seasonal. Unlike artificial flowers from a craft store, they are personal, made by hand, and completely one of a kind.
Materials You Will Need
Getting your materials together before you start makes the whole process smoother. Here is everything you need for a bouquet of approximately five to seven stems (three daisies and two to four lilies, depending on how full you want the arrangement).
Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in your chosen colors. For a classic lily daisy bouquet, you might choose white or cream for daisy petals, sunny yellow for daisy centers, soft pink or coral for lily petals, and two or three shades of green for leaves and stems. You do not need large amounts — each flower uses a fairly small quantity of yarn, so this is an excellent stash-busting project.
Hook: A 3.5mm or 4.0mm crochet hook works well for worsted weight yarn and gives you a nice tight tension that holds the flower shapes cleanly. If you tend to crochet loosely, go down a hook size to keep the stuffing from showing through.
Stuffing: A small amount of polyester fiberfill for the daisy centers and the bases of the lily blooms. You do not need much — just enough to give each flower a gentle, rounded dimension.
Wire: Floral wire or pipe cleaners in green, 18-gauge or similar. These go inside the stems and allow you to bend and arrange the flowers naturally in a vase. If you prefer a softer, no-wire version (great for children’s rooms or toys), you can skip this and simply stuff the stems with fiberfill instead, though they will not be as poseable.
Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends and sewing pieces together.
Scissors, stitch markers, and a small amount of black embroidery floss for adding stamens or detail to the lily centers if desired.
Gauge
Gauge matters less in this project than in garments, but working to a consistent tension will make your flowers look neat and uniform. Aim for approximately 16 stitches and 18 rows per four inches in single crochet with your chosen yarn and hook. If you are going larger or smaller intentionally, simply adjust consistently across all pieces.

The Daisy: Step-by-Step Instructions
The daisy is the backbone of this bouquet. Its wide, open shape and bright center give the arrangement an airy, meadow-fresh quality that balances beautifully with the more structured lily.
Daisy Center
Using yellow yarn, make a magic ring.
Rnd 1: 6 sc into the MR. Pull ring closed. (6 sts)
Rnd 2: Inc in each st around. (12 sts)
Rnd 3: Sc 1, inc rep around. (18 sts)
Rnd 4: Work 1 sc in each st around. (18 sts)
Rnd 5: Sc 1, dec rep around. (12 sts)
Lightly stuff the center with fiberfill, then continue.
Rnd 6: Dec around. (6 sts)
Fasten off, leaving a long tail. Close the opening with your tapestry needle and weave in the end.
Daisy Petals
You will make eight petals per daisy. Using white or cream yarn:
Foundation chain: Ch 10.
Row 1: Starting in the second ch from hook, work 1 sc, 1 hdc, 2 dc, 1 tr, 2 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc. (9 sts)
Do not turn. Working along the opposite side of the foundation chain, work 1 sc, 1 hdc, 2 dc, 1 tr, 2 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc. (9 sts)
Sl st to the beginning of the first row to close the petal. Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing.
Repeat this eight times for a full, lush daisy. For a lighter, more delicate look, six petals work beautifully as well.
Assembling the Daisy
Pin the petals evenly around the back of the daisy center, spacing them as uniformly as possible. Using your tapestry needle and the yarn tails, sew each petal firmly to the center piece, making sure the pointed base of each petal is tucked just slightly under the center disk. This gives the flower a natural, layered appearance. Weave in all ends.
Daisy Stem
Using green yarn and floral wire cut to your desired length (approximately 10 to 12 inches works well for a vase arrangement):
Make a slip knot and begin single crocheting over the wire, encasing it completely as you work. Continue until the entire wire is covered. Fasten off and weave in the end. Attach the stem to the back of the daisy by sewing through the center base, looping through a few times to secure it firmly.
The Lily: Step-by-Step Instructions
The lily brings elegance and height to the bouquet. Its trumpet-shaped bloom and backward-curling petals make it look beautifully realistic, and the layered construction gives it genuine visual complexity.
Lily Bloom Base
Using your chosen lily color (pink, coral, white, or orange are all gorgeous), make a magic ring.
Rnd 1: 6 sc into MR. (6 sts)
Rnd 2: Inc in each st. (12 sts)
Rnd 3: Sc 1, inc rep around. (18 sts)
Rnd 4: Work 1 sc BLO in each st around. (18 sts)
This back-loop-only round creates the natural ridge at the base of the lily’s petals, which is one of the details that makes the finished flower look most realistic.
Lily Petals
Your lily will have six petals arranged in two layers of three. This mimics the natural structure of a real lily bloom.
First layer (inner petals): Attach yarn to the back loop from Rnd 4. Work the following into three evenly-spaced groups of 6 stitches:
For each petal: Ch 2, work 1 hdc in the next st, 1 dc in each of the next 3 sts, 1 tr in the next st, ch 3, sl st back into the top of the last tr to create a pointed tip. Work back down the other side of the petal: 1 tr, 3 dc, 1 hdc. Sl st to the base of the petal. Sl st across 2 sts to reach the start of the next petal.
Repeat to create the remaining two inner petals. Fasten off.
Second layer (outer petals): Attach yarn in the remaining front loops from Rnd 4 and work three more petals in the same way, positioning them to fall between the inner petals. For the outer layer, you can make the petals very slightly longer (add one extra chain at the start and one extra treble at the top) if you want the layered effect to be more pronounced.
Once both layers are complete, curl the petal tips very slightly outward using your fingers. If you have been crocheting tightly, they may already have a natural tendency to do this, which is exactly what you want.
Lily Center and Stamens
Cut six pieces of yellow embroidery floss or thin yarn, each approximately two inches long. Fold each piece in half and pull the loop through the center of the lily base, then pass the ends through the loop and pull snug to create a fringe-style stamen. Trim them to a uniform length of about three-quarters of an inch. These stamens give the lily that distinctive, botanically accurate look that makes it feel truly lifelike.
Lily Stem and Leaf
Create the lily stem using the same wire-and-crochet method described for the daisy. Lily stems are traditionally taller and straighter, so cut your wire to 12 to 14 inches for a graceful height difference within the bouquet.
For leaves, which look beautiful along both the lily and daisy stems:
Using green yarn, ch 12.
Row 1: Sl st in the second ch from hook, sc in next 2 sts, hdc in next 2 sts, dc in next 2 sts, hdc in next 2 sts, sc in next 2 sts, sl st in last st. Do not turn. Working back along the other side of the foundation chain, work the same sequence in mirror. Sl st to join at the tip.
Fasten off and sew the leaf base to the stem at your preferred height.
Assembling Your Bouquet
Now comes the most satisfying part: putting everything together into a finished arrangement.
Lay out all of your completed flowers and consider the composition before you start binding anything together. Generally, taller lilies look best toward the center or back of the bouquet, with daisies fanning out around them. If you have made multiple flowers in different sizes, graduate them so the smaller or shorter ones are toward the edges.
Group the stems together and begin wrapping them with a length of green yarn or ribbon, starting just below the lowest flower head and working your way down the length of the bundle. Wind the yarn firmly and consistently, overlapping slightly with each pass. At the bottom, tie off securely.
If you are placing the bouquet in a vase, you can fan the wire stems out slightly at the base to help it stand. If you are gifting it wrapped as a bouquet, a few inches of ribbon tied around the stem bundle creates a beautiful finishing touch.
Tips for a Beautiful Finished Result
Block your pieces lightly if needed. If any of your petals are curling in directions you did not intend, a light spray of water and gentle shaping while damp will encourage them to hold any position you choose.
Use quality yarn. This does not mean expensive yarn — it means yarn with good stitch definition and color that makes you happy. Matte cotton yarns give a more natural, botanical look. Acrylic yarns are wonderfully durable and easy to find in a huge range of colors.
Don’t rush the sewing. The assembly stage is where many crochet flowers go from looking handmade to looking truly polished. Take your time attaching petals, make sure they are evenly spaced, and fasten everything securely.
Experiment with color. There are no rules here. A bouquet in soft lavender and pale gold has a completely different mood than one in hot coral and sunshine yellow. Both are wonderful. Use whatever makes you smile.
Make extras. These flowers make beautiful additions to headbands, brooches, gift wrapping, bookmarks, and wall art. Once you have the pattern down, each bloom works up quickly and you will likely find yourself wanting to make one in every color you own.
Gifting and Display Ideas
A completed crochet lily daisy bouquet is one of the most thoughtful handmade gifts you can give. Because it is three-dimensional and durable, it works beautifully in ways fresh flowers cannot: tucked into a potted plant as a decorative accent, displayed in a small vase on a desk, used as a centerpiece for a party table that guests can take home afterward, or given to someone who lives somewhere fresh flowers cannot easily survive.
For wedding gifts, consider making a bouquet in the wedding colors and attaching a card noting that you made it by hand. For new mothers, a small cluster of pastel flowers in a keepsake bottle makes an heirloom-quality gift. For teachers, colleagues, or anyone who deserves appreciation but is hard to shop for, a handmade flower in a little vase says something that a gift card simply cannot.
