Instructions
Part 1: Crochet Daisy Watch Strap (Cream/Off-White)
With Cream yarn and 2.0mm hook, ch 14.
Row 1: Hdc in 2nd ch from hook and across. (13 hdc) Ch 1, turn.
Rows 2-X (Strap Body): Hdc in each st across. Ch 1, turn. Continue until the strap measures your desired wrist circumference, slightly longer than needed for the top of your wrist (e.g., if wrist circumference is 6.5 inches, make the strap about 7-7.5 inches long).
Watch Pin Tabs (Both Ends): This section creates the loops for your watch pins directly into the strap fabric. Work these steps at both ends of your completed strap body.
On the last full row of your strap: Work sc in the first 4 sts. Ch 1, turn.
Tab 1 (4 rows): Sc in each of these 4 sc across. Ch 1, turn. Repeat for 3 more rows (total 4 rows of 4 sc). FO, leaving a long tail for sewing.
Reattach Cream yarn to the 10th st of the original last full row (skipping 3 sts in the middle to create the watch pin gap). Ch 1. Sc in this st and next 3 sts. (4 sc) Ch 1, turn.
Tab 2 (4 rows): Sc in each of these 4 sc across. Ch 1, turn. Repeat for 3 more rows (total 4 rows of 4 sc). FO, leaving a long tail for sewing.
You should now have two small tab-like extensions at this end, with a 3-stitch gap in the middle.
Repeat this entire process for creating both tabs on the other end of the main strap body.
Button Loop (One End): On one end of the strap, attach Cream yarn to one of the outside corners (where the tabs begin). Ch 15 (adjust for your button size), sl st into the opposite outside corner of the same end. FO.
Button Attachment (Other End): Sew the small button securely to the opposite end of the strap, ensuring it aligns with the button loop when wrapped around your wrist.
Part 2: Daisy Motifs (Make 3-5, depending on strap length)
Daisy Center (Yellow):
With Bright Yellow yarn and 2.0mm hook, make a MR.
Rnd 1: 6 sc into MR. Pull ring tight. Sl st to first sc. FO, leaving a short tail.
Daisy Petals (White):
Attach White yarn to any sc on the Yellow center.
Rnd 1: *Ch 2, 2 dc in same sc, ch 2, sl st in next sc*. Repeat from * 5 more times. You should have 6 petals. Sl st to first attachment point. FO, leaving a long tail for sewing.
Part 3: Green Leaves/Stems (Embroidered)
With Green yarn and tapestry needle, embroider small V-shaped leaves and thin stems around the base of each daisy once they are sewn onto the strap. Refer to the image for placement.
Part 4: Assembly
Daisies: Using the long tail from each daisy, sew them evenly spaced onto the main watch strap. Arrange them centrally along the wider part of the strap, where the daisies are visible.
Greenery: Embroider the green leaves and small connecting stems using the Green yarn and tapestry needle.
Watch Pin Loops Construction: Take the two tabs you created at each end of the strap. Fold them towards the center of the strap, forming two small tunnels. Use the long tails to sew the raw edges of the tabs securely to the main strap, creating snug loops for your watch pins.
Attach Watch: Slide your watch pins through the newly formed loops, then attach your watch face to the pins.
