Its Saint David’s Day today!!!
I thought I would revisit my Daffodil pattern from ages ago and post a Daffodil Hexagon photo tutorial for you.
ย Here’s how the finished Daffodil hexagon will look. Take a sneak peak at the material list and grab your hook at the ready!
Materials:
You will need scraps of:
- Dark Yellow yarn
- Pale Yellow yarn
- Green yarn
I have used Cascade 220 which is a worsted weight (aran UK) yarn and a 5mm hook. ย Use whatever yarn and hook you fancy or have to hand.
Crochet Hook:
H size / 5mm, or whatever size suits the yarn you are using.
ย
Measurement:
My completed hexagon measures 5 inches (13 cm) from edge to edge.
ย
Daffodil Hexagon Photo Tutorial –ย Lets get started!
Start with Dark Yellow and make a Magic Ring. ย Make a loop with the yarn end to the left and the working yarn to the right.
ย
ย
Insert your hook from front to back through the ring and draw a loop through. ย Chain 1.
ย
ย
Now work 6 single crochet (double crochet UK) into the ring working over the yarn tail.
ย
ย
When you have completed 6 stitches in the ring pull tightly on the yarn tail to close the ring.
ย
ย
Join by working a slip stitch through the front loop only of the first stitch you made.
ย
ย
Chain 3. ย This chain 3 counts as a double crochet stitch (treble crochet stitch UK).
ย
ย
Work 1 double crochet through the front loop of each stitch. ย As you work, the stitches will start to stick up forming the trumpet of the daffodil.
ย
ย
When you have worked 6 stitches, ignore the next slip stitch and join with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain 3 at the start of the round.
ย
ย
Chain 1 and work a single crochet (double crochet UK) in the same place.
Chain 1.
ย
ย
ย Repeat the last two steps working a single crochet (double crochet UK), chain 1 in each stitch. ย A total of 6 stitches and 6 chain stitches. ย Join with a slip stitch to the first stitch of the round and end the yarn.
ย
ย
Now, we are going to work in the back loops of the first round. ย Turn your ‘trumpet’ upside down and you will see the bumps we need to work into.
ย
ย
The Outer Petals
Turn the trumpet back the right way and with Pale Yellow, insert your hook through both back loops. ย Pull up a loop.
ย
ย
Chain 3, this chain 3 counts as 1 double crochet (treble crochet UK), work 2 more double crochet (treble crochet UK) in the same place.
ย
ย
ย Chain 2.
ย
ย
Work 3 double crochet (treble crochet UK) through the back loops of the next stitch. ย Chain 2.
ย
ย
Repeat the last step until you have 6 groups of 3 double crochet (treble crochet), don’t work the last chain 2.
ย
To join, work a half double crochet (half treble crochet UK) into the top of the first stitch of the round.
ย
ย
Now your hook is in the right place for the next round.
ย
ย
Chain 3.
ย
ย
Now we are going to work a cluster stitch in the next 3 stitches. ย Start by beginning a double crochet (treble crochet UK) in the next stitch.
ย
ย
Yarn over hook and draw through two loops. ย We are only working off two loops, leaving one loop of the stitch still on the hook.
ย
ย
Repeat the last two steps in the next two stitches. ย You will have 4 loops on your hook.
ย
ย
Yarn over hook and draw through all loops. ย This is cluster stitch.
ย
ย
Chain 3.
ย
ย
Slip stitch into chain 2 of last round.
ย
ย
Follow the instructions for the last six images until you have 6 cluster stitches. ย After working the last slip stitch, end the yarn.
ย
ย
Turn the Daffodil into a hexagon…
ย Join the Green yarn by pulling up a loop in the top of a cluster stitch.
ย
ย
Chain 1 and work a single crochet (double crochet UK) in the same place.
ย
ย
Work 2 double crochet (treble crochet UK) into the chain 2 of round 3.
ย
ย
Work 1 treble crochet (double treble UK) in the same place. ย Wrap the yarn around the hook twice to work a treble crochet (double treble UK) stitch. ย Then work off two loops at a time as normal.
ย
ย
Work 2 more double crochet (treble crochet UK) in the same place.
ย
ย
Work 1 single crochet in the top of the cluster stitch of round 4.
ย
ย
Repeat the instructions for the last four images until you have reached the last chain 2 space. ย Work the stitches into the chain 2 space as before but skip the last single crochet (double crochet UK).
ย
Join by working a slip stitch into the first single crochet (double crochet UK) of the round.
ย
ย
ย Chain 3. ย This chain 3 counts as a double crochet (treble crochet UK). ย Work 1 double crochet (treble crochet UK) in the next 2 stitches.
ย
ย
In the treble crochet (double treble crochet UK) stitch work 1 double, 1 treble and 1 double crochet (1 treble, 1 double treble and 1 treble crochet UK)
ย
ย
Now work 1 double crochet (treble crochet UK) in each stitch across to the next treble crochet (double treble crochet).
ย
ย
Repeat the last two steps until you have completed 5 sides. ย Work the corner stitches as before.
ย
ย
Work 1 double crochet (treble crochet UK) in the next 2 stitches. ย Join with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain 3 and end yarn.

Sew in those nasty loose ends, make sure you thoroughly sew the end of the Magic Ring in otherwise it’ll loosen up as time goes by.
