The pattern is as follows:

To make the daffodil

*Cast on 2 stitches (Yarn A)

Inc1 (by knitting into the front and back of the stitch) at beginning of each row until you have

11 stitches

Break yarn* and place on spare needle or holder.

Repeat from * to * 4 more times until you have 5 petals.

Knit across all 5 points

You should have 55 stitches in total

Knit 2 rows

K2tog, K1 (28)

K2tog (14)

K2tgo (7)

Cut thread and use tail to thread a darning needle. Insert the needle through the stitches and secure. This forms the flower.

You will need to sew a few stitches to join the last petal with the first.

Then weave in all the end. It is essential that you weave the ends in and do not simply snip them off as it will not look as neat and is likely to unravel.

To make the trumpet

Cast on 14 stitches (YA)

Knit 4 rows

Cast off tightly (the cast off edge will be the bottom part of the trumpet that you will stitch to the daffodil)

Join short sides together to form trumpet and sew in centre of petals

To make the stem

Cast on 20 stitches (Yarn B)

K 3 rows

Cast Off

Sew long sides together.

To make up

Attach the trumpet to the centre of the petals

At the same time you can attach the stem to the back of the petals and then stitch a safety pin in place so it can be worn as a brooch.

A few tips and tricks on making the daffodils

• Kniting a complete daffodil and sewing it together takes approximately 45 minutes and I wouldn't say I am a very fast knitter.
• I find knitting as many petals as I can on circular needles makes the process a little quicker.
• If you are in a knitting group why not share it out. 1 person could knit stalks, 1 person could knit petals, 1 person could knit the trumpets and another person sew them up?
• We used small safety pins as the brooch part and they are just fine.
