Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Create the Waistband

1. Start by making a slip knot and chaining 150 stitches.
2. Turn your work. This will be the foundation for your waistband.
3. For Row 1: Single crochet (sc) in each chain across (150 sc total).
4. For Rows 2-5: Chain 1, then sc in each stitch across. Repeat this for a total of 4 rows, creating a sturdy waistband.

2. Crochet the Apron Body

1. Attach your yarn to the center of the waistband.
2. For Row 1: Chain 1, then sc in the next 70 stitches. This will form the upper part of the apron.
3. For Rows 2-40: Chain 1 at the beginning of each row, then sc in each stitch across. Continue this for 39 more rows, ensuring your apron body is long enough to cover your waist comfortably.

3. Create the Daisy Motifs

1. To make the daisy motifs, start with a magic ring.
2. For Round 1: Work 6 single crochets into the magic ring, then join with a slip stitch to the first sc.
3. For Round 2: In each stitch around, chain 3, then double crochet (dc), chain 3, and slip stitch (sl st) to create the petals. Repeat this for each stitch around the ring.
4. Once completed, pull the magic ring tight to close the center of the daisy.

4. Attach the Daisy Motifs

1. Using a tapestry needle, securely attach the daisies to the lower half of the apron body. Space them evenly for a balanced look.

5. Create the Ties

1. Attach your yarn to each end of the waistband.
2. Chain 50 stitches for each tie. This will allow you to comfortably secure the apron around your waist.
3. Fasten off and weave in any loose ends with a tapestry needle.
