About This Daisy Flowers Car Hanging Pattern
This pattern teaches you how to crochet a small hanging planter filled with daisy and yellow flowers, eucalyptus stems, and a tiny pot. It uses super-fine yarn and small hooks to create delicate petals and textured pots. You'll work rounds for pistils, petals, stems, soil, and pots then assemble everything into a hanging decoration. The instructions are illustrated with clear step calls and photos to help you at each stage.
Perfect for an afternoon project, the pattern includes material and abbreviation lists plus step-by-step rounds. Great for gifting or decorating your car with a handmade accent.
Why You'll Love This Daisy Flowers Car Hanging Pattern
I absolutely love this pattern because it transforms simple stitches into a delightful miniature world of flowers and foliage. I enjoy the mix of small, detailed pieces like petals and stems that come together to form a charming hanging planter. I love the finishing step when you place the soil into the pot and arrange the flowers—it always feels rewarding and creative. I also appreciate how adaptable the design is, letting me tweak colors and textures to suit seasons or recipients.
Switch Things Up
I love customizing this pattern by changing colors to match seasons; try pastel pinks for spring or deep oranges for autumn.
I sometimes make the piece larger by using DK or worsted yarn and a bigger hook to create a chunky hanging planter.
I also make tiny keychain versions by using thinner yarn and a 2.0-2.5mm hook for miniatures you can clip to bags.
I like to mix yarn textures—the pot in a slubby yarn and flowers in a smooth cotton for contrast and visual interest.
I often swap the daisy petal count or size by chaining fewer or more stitches when making petals to alter fullness.
I add beads or small buttons in centers instead of the brown pistil for a sparkly accent when gifting to kids.
I use floral wire wrapped inside stems for extra strength and posability; I also sometimes bend stems after assembly for a natural curve.
I sometimes glue a small circle of felt inside the pot before inserting foam to protect the pot lining and hide glue points.
I enjoy embroidering tiny details on petals for character—try a couple of French knots or a small embroidered smile.
I recommend experimenting with different bindings for the hanging loop, such as braiding three strands of yarn or crocheting an i-cord for a neater finish.
Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them
✗ Skipping stitch markers when joining rounds can cause misaligned petals and stems; use a marker at the start of each round to stay accurate.
✗ Not stuffing petals and pistils at the recommended points can make flowers look flat or misshapen; begin stuffing from the specified petal (9th for daisies, 4th for yellows) for the best shape.
✗ Pulling stitches too tight for small motifs creates stiff, uneven pieces; maintain an even, slightly loose tension so petals remain fluffy.
✗ Failing to leave tails when instructed can make assembly difficult; always cut yarn leaving the long tail for sewing or wrap wire as directed.
✗ Neglecting to wrap the wire and secure leaves properly may result in loose stems that fall apart; stick pieces together and start wrapping tightly around the wire as shown to secure leaves.
✗ Forgetting to count increases and decreases leads to incorrect stitch counts and poor shaping; count after every round, especially during increases (INC) and decreases (DEC).
