Why You'll Love This Daisy Flowers Car Hanging Crochet Pattern

Honestly, I keep coming back to this one because of how satisfying it is to watch a pile of separate little pieces turn into something so cohesive and cute. Every component is quick on its own, but the moment you tuck those flowers into the pot and hold the whole thing up by its chain — that's the best feeling. The wire-wrapping on the eucalyptus stems is a little fiddly but so worth it. I made three of these in one sitting once I got into the rhythm.

Switch Things Up

I'll be real with you — when I first looked at this pattern, I thought the pot was going to be the boring part. Turns out the wicker texture from those FPDC and BPDC rounds is genuinely one of the most satisfying things to crochet. Each round builds up this little ribbed effect that looks so much more complex than it actually is. I ended up making two pots just because I liked the feel of it so much.

The flowers are where things get fun and a little meditative. The daisy petals especially — you just chain 8, come back down, slip stitch, repeat. After the first three petals your hands know what to do and your brain can wander. I had a whole podcast episode finished by the time I got through all 12 petals on my first daisy.

One thing I'd really suggest: make your eucalyptus stems before you start assembling. I did mine last and ran out of patience trying to wrap the wire neatly while the flowers were already glued in place. Wire-wrapping first, then arranging everything, made the whole final step so much calmer.

For color variations — this pattern is practically begging to be made in fall tones. Swap the white daisies for rust orange, use a dark olive green for the eucalyptus, and put everything in a deep terracotta pot yarn. It transforms the whole vibe completely. I also tried a version with all-blue flowers and a pale natural pot that looked like something from a coastal gift shop.

This is genuinely one of those patterns I keep gifting because the reaction is always the same — people cannot believe it's handmade.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ When crocheting the petal rounds on the daisy, it's easy to lose count at petal 8 or 9 — the white yarn blurs together fast. Count out loud and place a stitch marker at petal 1 so you always know where you started.✗ Starting to stuff the daisy pistil too early will leave the base misshapen. The pattern says to begin stuffing from the 9th petal — respect that timing or the flower center will bulge awkwardly before you've finished the ring.✗ For the yellow flower, the petal sequence (ch2, 3HDC in one st, ch2, sl st) needs to land back in the correct stitch each time. Slipping into the wrong stitch after the chain-2 will make your petals uneven in size — slow down on those slip stitches.✗ The pot's wicker texture relies on consistent FPDC and BPDC alternation in Rows 7–9. If you accidentally do two of the same post stitch in a row, the ribbing collapses — use a contrast stitch marker every 10 stitches to keep track.✗ Cutting the yarn tail too short on the eucalyptus leaf pieces will make wire-wrapping nearly impossible. Leave at least 15cm of tail so you have enough to secure each leaf tightly around the stem wire without it slipping.✗ When working the soil in Type 1, stuffing before Row 12 is easy to forget — once you've closed off the hole with the final 8 decreases, there's no going back. Add stuffing right after Row 11 before finishing.

Progress Tracker

0% Complete

— 1. Daisy Flower — Pistil & Peduncle (make 2: one in green, one in yellow) :

Info :

Make 2 pieces total — one using green yarn and one using yellow yarn. These form the center and stem base of the daisy.

Round 1 :

Start with a MR, work 6 SC into the ring. (6 sts)

Round 2 :

Work 1 INC in each of the 6 sts around. (12 sts)

Round 3 :

SC in each st around — no increases. (12 sts)

Info :

These two pieces are joined seamlessly before working the petals — connect them together and then begin the petal crochet directly from the joined piece.

— 2. Daisy Flower — Petals (white) :

Info :

Work all 12 petals as a seamless piece joined to the pistil/peduncle. Begin each petal the same way: ch 8, then working back into the 2nd ch from the hook, work 7 HDC, then sl st into the next st on the center piece. Repeat this petal sequence 12 times in total. Begin adding cotton stuffing to the center starting from the 9th petal onward.

Info :

Once all 12 petals are complete, wrap yarn around the joined stems to secure and neaten the base of the flower.

— 3. Yellow Flower — Pistil & Peduncle (make 2: one in green, one in brown) :

Info :

Make 2 pieces — one in green yarn and one in brown yarn. These form the raised center and stem base of the yellow sunflower.

Round 1 :

Start with a MR, work 6 SC into the ring. (6 sts)

Round 2 :

Work 1 INC in each of the 6 sts around. (12 sts)

Info :

Join the two pieces together seamlessly before beginning the petal round.

— 4. Yellow Flower — Petals (yellow) :

Info :

Work all 6 petals as a seamless piece joined to the pistil. Each petal is made as follows: ch 2, work 3 HDC into one st, then ch 2, sl st into the next st. Repeat this 6 times total. Begin adding stuffing from the 4th petal onward.

— 5. Eucalyptus Stems (make 2 complete stems) :

Info :

You will need 6 crocheted leaf pieces per stem: 4 smaller leaves and 2 larger leaves. Work them as flat magic ring circles, leaving a long yarn tail on each for wrapping around the wire.

Round 1 (Large Leaf — make 2) :

Start with a MR, work 8 SC into the ring. (8 sts) Cut yarn and leave a long tail for wire-wrapping.

Round 1 (Small Leaf — make 4) :

Start with a MR, work 6 SC into the ring. (6 sts) Cut yarn and leave a long tail for wire-wrapping.

Info :

To assemble each eucalyptus stem: take the 2 large leaf pieces (8 SC each) and glue or hold them back-to-back at the top of the wire. Then wrap yarn around the wire working downward, attaching each of the 4 smaller leaves at intervals along the stem as you go. The result should look like a small sprig with pairs of round leaves.

— 6. Plant Pot :

Info :

Switch to a 3.0mm hook for this section. Work in continuous rounds from the base upward.

Round 1 :

Starting with a MR, work 8 SC into the ring. (8 sts)

Round 2 :

Work 1 INC in each st around. (16 sts)

Round 3 :

Work (1 SC, 1 INC) repeated 8 times. (24 sts)

Round 4 :

Work (2 SC, 1 INC) repeated 8 times. (32 sts)

Round 5 :

Work 40 SC around. (40 sts)

Round 11 :

Work 40 sl st around the top edge.

Info :

After completing Round 11, continue working ch 70 to form the hanging cord. Do not cut yet — this chain becomes the strap used to hang the planter.

— 7. The Soil — Type 1 (crocheted ball) :

Round 1 :

Start with a MR, work 8 SC into the ring. (8 sts)

Round 2 :

Work 1 INC in every st around. (16 sts)

Round 12 :

Work 8 DEC across. (8 sts)

Info :

Cut yarn leaving a long tail. Thread through remaining stitches, pull tight to close the hole, and weave in the end securely.

— 8. The Soil — Type 2 (foam alternative) :

Info :

As an alternative to the crocheted soil ball, cut a piece of foam to match the inner diameter of the pot. Press it in snugly so it sits flat at the top. This gives a firm base to insert the flower stems into without any crochet work needed.

Assembly Instructions

  • Start by completing your pot: once the hanging chain of 70 sts is worked, thread both ends of the chain through opposite sides of the pot's top edge and knot or secure with a dab of hot glue so it hangs evenly.
  • Place your chosen soil piece (crocheted ball or foam disc) into the pot so it sits flush with or just below the top rim — this is what your flower stems will anchor into.
  • Trim the wire on each eucalyptus stem to your preferred height, then press the bottom end into the soil piece toward the back of the pot. Use a small dot of hot glue at the base of the wire to keep it from shifting.
  • Insert the yellow sunflower stems into the soil toward the center-front of the pot. Space them slightly apart so the brown centers face outward and are visible from the front.
  • Tuck the white daisy stems in around the sunflowers, filling the gaps. The fluffy white petals should frame the yellow flowers — press the stem ends firmly into the foam or stuffed ball.
  • Once all flowers and greenery are in position, apply small dots of hot glue around the base of each stem where it meets the soil to lock everything in place.
  • Give the whole arrangement a gentle shake to check that nothing is loose. Adjust any flowers that have shifted, and your hanging planter is ready to hang.

Important Notes

  • 💡The stitch count note on the Eucalyptus large leaf says 'MR, 8 SC (6sts)' — the number in the parentheses appears to be a typo. The correct count after working 8 SC into a magic ring is 8 stitches, not 6. Work 8 SC and proceed with 8 sts.
  • 💡Wire gauge matters here — if your wire is too thick it will be hard to wrap yarn around, and too thin won't hold the eucalyptus stems upright. A medium floral wire (around 24–26 gauge) works well for this scale.
  • 💡The Rows 7–9 on the pot are labelled as 'Row 7–9' in the original but each round is identical, so you can work them continuously. Just keep your stitch count at 40 and maintain the FPDC/BPDC alternation every round.
  • 💡When crocheting the daisy petals, the chain-8 foundation is worked and then you come back down it — keep this chain loose enough that the petal can curve naturally without puckering.
  • 💡Hot glue sets fast, so position each flower stem exactly where you want it before gluing. Have a toothpick or pin on hand to press things in place quickly.
  • 💡Super fine weight yarn at 2.5–3mm hook gives a tight, firm fabric — this is intentional so the pieces hold their shape and the pot keeps its structure when hanging.

Whether this is the first little crochet accessory you've ever made or the fifteenth one lined up for gifts, there's something really special about finishing this one. You've built a whole tiny garden from scratch — every petal, every leaf, every little round of that textured pot. Hang it somewhere it'll catch the light and make you smile on the ordinary days. 🌼 Tag your finished piece and share it with your crafting community — handmade things deserve to be seen. Happy crocheting! 🧶✨

FAQs

Can I use a different yarn weight for this pattern?

You can, but the whole design relies on tiny proportions, so sticking close to super fine (fingering weight) is really important. Going up to DK weight will make the pot significantly larger and the flower petals noticeably chunkier — the scale of the whole arrangement changes. If you do go heavier, size down your hook too so the fabric stays dense enough to hold its shape.

Do I have to use wire in the eucalyptus stems or can I skip it?

Technically you can skip it, but the stems won't stand upright — they'll flop over the edge of the pot instead of arching up naturally. If you don't have floral wire, a pipe cleaner works as a substitute. Bend a small loop at the bottom end before inserting into the soil so it anchors without poking through.

What's the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 soil, and which should I use?

Type 1 is a fully crocheted stuffed ball that sits inside the pot — it looks tidier and more polished, especially if the inside of your pot is visible. Type 2 is simply a piece of foam cut to size — faster, and honestly just as functional. If you're making several of these as gifts and want to save time, foam is the practical choice. For display pieces where the inside might be seen, go for Type 1.

How long should I make the hanging chain?

The pattern specifies 70 chains, which gives a medium-length hang — good for a rearview mirror or a hook. If you want it shorter for a bag charm or keyring, 40–50 chains works well. Just keep both sides of the chain even when you attach them to the pot rim so the planter hangs level.

How many flowers should I put in the pot?

The pattern makes 2 daisy flowers (one green-centered, one yellow-centered) and multiple yellow sunflowers, plus 2 eucalyptus stems. The pot at 40 stitches wide can comfortably hold 4–6 flower stems and 2 greenery stems before it gets too crowded. Arrange taller pieces toward the back and shorter ones in front for the best visual balance.
