Materials Needed

Before you begin, make sure you have everything you need. This project uses simple, readily available materials:

• Yarn: Worsted weight cotton yarn in the following colors:
  • Yellow (for the back petals)
  • Bright yellow (for the front petals)
  • Orange (for the trumpet center)
  • Green (for the stem and leaves)
• Crochet Hook: 3.5mm hook (E-4)
• Other Tools: Yarn needle, stitch marker, and polyester fiberfill for stuffing.

Gauge: Not critical for this project. However, aim for tight, firm stitches to prevent the stuffing from showing through. If your stitches are loose, consider using a smaller hook.

Step-by-Step Instructions

This pattern is worked in continuous spirals unless otherwise noted. Always use a stitch marker to keep track of the beginning of your rounds. Let’s break it down piece by piece.

Assembly

Now for the fun part—bringing all the pieces together! Take your time and use the long yarn tails for a secure finish.

1. Attach Petal Layers: Sew the two petal layers together, offsetting them so the front petals sit neatly between the back petals. Use the long tails and a yarn needle to whipstitch them together securely.
2. Attach the Trumpet: Position the trumpet in the center of the petal layers. Sew it securely around its base, making sure it’s centered and firmly attached.
3. Attach the Stem: Sew the stem to the bottom of the flower, ensuring it is perfectly centered. Use strong, even stitches.
4. Attach the Leaves: Sew the leaves to the stem, positioning them near the base. Angle them outward for a natural look.
5. Weave in Ends: Carefully weave in all remaining yarn ends using your yarn needle to give your daffodil a clean, professional finish.

And there you have it—your very own Sunlit Meadow Daffodil! This project is a wonderful way to practice your amigurumi skills while creating a beautiful, lasting piece of spring.
