This crochet daisy leaf has a distinctive wavy outline that gives it more detail than a simple rounded leaf. The beginner-friendly pattern uses basic crochet stitches and includes instructions for shaping the leaf and adding a small stem. A 2.0 mm hook and green yarn are listed, and the project is designed to take about 20 minutes, depending on your pace and experience.
Ways to Use a Crochet Daisy Leaf
Use the finished leaf as a small embellishment for hairpins, brooches, key rings, or bookmarks. It can also add a botanical detail to crochet clothes, bags, hats, and other handmade decorations.
Before attaching it to another item, weave in the yarn ends and check that the leaf sits flat. For a hair accessory or brooch, secure the leaf firmly to its backing so it stays in place during use.
Pattern Notes
- The pattern uses US crochet terms.
- A video tutorial is available as additional guidance.
- The leaf is worked in two rounds, followed by a short stem.
If you are new to crochet, review the abbreviations below before starting. Keep your stitches relaxed enough to work into, but consistent so the leaf holds its shape.

Finishing and Customizing
Fasten off and use the darning needle to secure and tidy the yarn ends. Shape the leaf gently with your fingers, taking care not to pull the wavy edges out of form. You can use a different yarn color to coordinate the leaf with the project it will decorate.
For a neat finish, check that both the leaf and stem are secure before attaching the piece to a wearable item, bag, hat, or bookmark. The pattern is worked flat, making the finished motif suitable for adding to other crochet projects.
