Yoyo yumyums.....

Oooh.  Yoyos.


Lots of scrummy colour.

Lovely 'join as you go' daisies.


So simple.

4 chain, join as a ring, 2 chain, 11 treble* crochet into the ring, slip stitch into space between 1st 2 chain length & 2nd treble, fasten off. 




Join new colour to previous thread next to the ring, hook into adjoining chain space, chain 5, slip stitch into next chain space.  


Repeat to make 4 loops (catching yarn ends in behind).

For first daisy, loop all the way around, for subsequent ones just make 4 loops.

To join a daisy to another, on the next loop chain 2, put hook through 1st of two loops of adjoining daisy from front to back, ensuring yarn can go behind the loop.  


Hook it through the daisy loop and the loop on the hook, 


chain 2, slip stitch into next chain space.


Repeat into as many adjoining loops as necessary.  Join into 1st chain space.

I like to put my hook into the centre of the very first chain and pull a loop through the work and the chain on the hook, then loosen the chain a bit, remove my hook, insert it through the space below that chain, from the back, and pull it through to the back.  I then fasten the work off neatly at the back so nothing shows on the front.




* treble crochet - yarn over hook, put hook through work where required, pull up a loop, yarn over hook, pull it through 2 stitches, yarn over hook, pull it through remaining 2 stitches.  One stitch left on hook.

  4. Depends how big you want your blanket....! Each daisy/yoyo is approximately 2" in diameter, so that may help you work it out. I wasn't bothered about how many I needed - that's too depressing....LOL. I just kept adding until I was happy with the size.
