1. Daffodil Crochet Bouquet
To make this lovely daffodil bouquet, you’ll need worsted-weight yarn, floral wire, and glue. I think these flowers are stunning with their white and yellow petals and green leaves. Best of all, you’ll only need to know basic stitches, so this is a great beginner project.
2. Crochet Daffodils
These daffodils call for DK-weight yarn, though you can use any yarn and corresponding hook size, plus wire and pipe cleaner. There are plenty of color combinations to choose from: You can mix and match yellow, orange, and white yarns to create a stunning bouquet. The pattern calls for simple stitches plus the extended single crochet, so overall these daffodils are quite easy to make!
Now, let’s move on to stemless daffodils that can be used for all kinds of décor and accessories!
3. Crochet Daffodil Flower
This pattern includes written instructions, a photo tutorial, and a video tutorial, so it’s great for crocheters of all learning styles! You can use your preferred yarn weight, but make sure to size down your hook to achieve tight stitches. If you want your flowers to look like the designer’s, choose lace-weight yarn and a 2.5mm hook. The pattern is written in UK terms, so check out this article if you want to convert to US terms.
4. Crochet Daffodil
I love how detailed these daffodils are with their leaves and stamens! They would make a lovely broach or other accessory. This is a good beginner pattern because it calls for easy stitches, includes both US and UK terminology, and has helpful photos.
5. Spring Has Sprung Daffodils
These are such joyful yellow daffodils, and to make them you’ll need DK-weight yarn, preferably a cotton version, per the designer. The pattern calls for simple stitches plus the 4-triple crochet cluster, which is quite easy to learn.
6. Daffodil Brooch/Pin
This pattern makes for a lovely daffodil broach, and you could also make multiple daffodils and turn them into a wreath for your front door. That would be a lovely way to welcome guests to your home this spring! This is quite an easy project because you can use any yarn and corresponding hook, you only need to know basic stitches, and both US and UK terms are included.
7. Basic Daffodil
If you follow this pattern, you’ll have a stunning daffodil in no time! You’ll need worsted-weight yarn plus both F (3.75mm) and H (5mm) hooks. The pattern is written in UK terms, and you’ll need to know simple stitches plus the picot stitch, which is explained.
8. One-Piece Crochet Daffodil
This pattern makes a beautiful daffodil with curled petals. You can use any yarn and corresponding hook size, and you’ll need to know easy stitches plus the picot and sc3tog, which are both described. The designer has also included helpful photos, so this is a good project if you have some crochet experience and are ready to learn new stitches.
9. Easter Daffodil
This stunning daffodil is made with crochet thread, though you can also use a heavier weight of yarn, such as worsted, if that’s easier for you. If you do make your daffodil with crochet thread, it’ll turn out small enough to use as a barrette, earrings, or other accessory! To make one, you’ll need to know basic stitches plus the picot stitch, which is explained in the pattern.

This daffodil is made with sport-weight yarn and features leaves along with the petals. It’s a great beginner project because it only requires simple stitches, and it will work up quickly.
11. Daffodils Crochet Pattern
These daffodils are made with worsted-weight yarn, a 3.5mm hook, and basic stitches. You’ll also need a wooden rod and glue if you want to make stems. The flowers are very customizable: You can make large or small petals and a large or small center. The whole project is worked in the round, and there are helpful progress photos to guide you through assembly.
12. Chenille Daffodil
These daffodils look stunning when made with soft chenille yarn, and you can even stuff the petals for a more 3-D look. For this project, you’ll need to know simple stitches, plus how to work in the back loop only and front loop only.
Now let’s check out some daffodil-themed afghan squares!
13. Daffodil Star
Here’s a gorgeous, super-detailed daffodil-themed afghan square. For this project, you should use aran yarn and pay attention to the gauge and size of your square. A blanket made with these squares would look amazing! This is a good project for intermediate crocheters because you’ll need to know how to do front- and back-post half-double crochet, front- and back-post single crochet, and the puff stitch, and there are also multiple color changes.
14. Not Quite A Daffodil Square
Here’s a more basic—but still incredibly pretty—square that features a three-dimensional daffodil motif. To make these squares, you’ll need to know basic crochet stitches plus the 3-double-crochet cluster (which is described) and the picot stitch.
15. Daffodowndillies Square
Last but not least is this square that features a 3-D daffodil and a lovely border. The pattern is written in UK terms, and you can check this article for a conversion to US terms. You’ll need to know the v-stitch and crossed double crochet for this square, and both stitches are described in the pattern.

16. Daffodil Dishcloths
This pattern includes two dischcloths that are both perfect for spring! It’s a good idea to use a cotton yarn, such as Lily Sugar’n Cream, since cotton is durable and will hold up well for washing dishes. This is a great beginner pattern since it only calls for easy stitches.
17. Daffodil Pencil
For this fun project, you’ll need worsted-weight yarn and, of course, a pencil. This would make a great end-of-year gift for your kids’ teachers even if you’re new to crochet, since the pattern only calls for simple stitches and works up quickly.
