Introduction

In this tutorial, we will learn how to make Daisy puff hexagons. These hexagons can be used to create beautiful crochet projects such as blankets, cushion covers, or even garments. We will go through the process step by step, including the materials you will need and the different rounds involved in creating the hexagons. So, let's get started!

Materials Needed for Making Daisy Puff Hexagons

Before we begin, let's gather the materials needed to make the Daisy puff hexagons. Here's what you will need:

1. Yarn in the desired colors - The tutorial will use a salmon color, pale pink, and cream.
2. Crochet hook - The size of the crochet hook will depend on the thickness of your yarn. Choose a suitable hook size accordingly.
3. Scissors - For cutting yarn.
4. Yarn needle - To weave in the ends and join the hexagons (optional).

Now that we have all the materials ready, let's move on to the step-by-step process of creating the Daisy puff hexagons.

Step 1: Making the Puffy Middle

To start, we will create the puffy middle of the hexagon. Begin by making a slip stitch and a chain of four. Then, join the chain to form a circle. Make one chain and crochet six UK double crochets (US single crochets) into the circle. Join the round with a slip stitch.

Step 2: Changing Yarn Color

In this step, we will change the yarn color to add a touch of contrast to the hexagon. Cut the yarn and attach a new color. Make two chains and start creating puff stitches. To make a puff stitch, yarn over, insert the hook into the same stitch, yarn over, and pull through. Repeat this process a few times to create a set of four puff stitches. To secure the puff stitch, yarn over and pull through all loops, leaving the last loop on the hook. Yarn over once more and pull through the two loops to secure the stitch.

Step 3: Adding the Cream Rounds

In this step, we will add two rounds of cream-colored yarn to enhance the hexagon's size and shape. Join the cream yarn in one of the two-chain loops. Create four chains and make two treble crochets (US double crochets) in the same space. Continue working by making two trebles, two chains, and two trebles in each two-chain loop around the hexagon. Join the round with a slip stitch.

Step 4: Adding the Final Round

In this final round, we will finish off the hexagon. Join a different color yarn in any of the chain spaces. Make four chains and one treble crochet (UK triple crochet, US double crochet) in the same space. Then, make one treble crochet in each treble crochet below. For each corner space, make one treble crochet, two chains, and one treble crochet. Repeat this pattern around the hexagon, and join the final round with a slip stitch.
