My Crochet Pattern Notes
An easily memorized 2-row repeat makes this lightweight scarf, worked short edge to short edge, in a long rectangle. It’s an excellent opportunity to make a special gift with an extra special yarn.
I’ve called this project Oopsie Daisy because I’ve used a stitch pattern from “Mon Tricot 1100 Stitches”, from 1978, called Half Daisy Stitch. It is a 4-spiked stitch, which has been called Marguerite. And, you can find variations called Star. Tamara of Moogly touched on this topic in her 2013 post.
Tamara’s article didn’t mention Daisy Stitch so I’m not sure where this came in. Mon Tricot is a French publication. Perhaps it would turn out that this was a naming convention based on the publication country. The most obvious iteration of a country of publication’s naming that’s become more popular is the naming of Tunisian crochet.
It’s so difficult to find true names of stitches when you find so many different names. In this case, I’m going to just call it Half Daisy since that’s the name given to it in the book I have. I don’t think we need to worry about the name. We just need to know how to do it!

Finished Size
7″ x 47″.
Yarn
Malabrigo “Mechita”, 100% superwash merino, 420 yds/384m per 3.5 oz/100g per skein: 1 hank of colorway Diana.
“Mechita” is classified as a fingering weight (size 1) yarn and is currently available in 60 shades.
Available at LoveCrafts.
Yarn Substitution
This is a 1-ply fingering weight 100% superwash merino wool. It’s hand-dyed and, even if you find a colorway of the same name, each batch can be vastly different. I love all the colorways, but, if you want to be certain about the colors, you may want to shop in person. I’m sure you’ll love whatever you get because this yarn is extraordinary, but if your heart is set, definitely buy at your local yarn shop.
If you want to substitute, any superwash merino in fingering weight should work for you. But, definitely make a swatch and water block it to make sure the colors are set.
If you find a different weight of yarn that you prefer, please use the stitch multiple to adjust the pattern to fit your yarn.
Other Materials
Suggested Crochet Hook Size G-7 (4.5mm).
Yarn Needle for weaving ends.
Gauge
30 stitches for 14 rows measures approximately 4″ x 4″ when blocked.
Working at a different tension may require additional materials.
Stitch Multiple
Any multiple of 2, plus 7.
Half Double Crochet
The last stitch of a Daisy row ends with a half double crochet. While this is fine, it leaves a little bit of a hole between the last half daisy and the half double.
If you would like to fill that in a little bit more, try this linked half double crochet: insert hook in the same ch as the last half daisy, yarn over, pull loop through, insert hook in last chain/stitch, yarn over, pull loop through, yarn over, pull through 3 loops on hook. It’s not a huge difference, but it helps. Personal preference.
Other Abbreviations
This crochet pattern is written in US crochet terminology.
ch=chain; hdc=half double crochet; lp(s)=loop(s); rep=repeat; sc=single crochet; sk=skip; st(s)-stitch(es); yo=yarn over.
All numbers after the colon at the end of an instruction are stitch counts. Use the stitch count to check your work.

Free Crochet Pattern Instructions
Note: Since there is no border, I like to make the first row in the back horizontal bars of the chains in order to keep the edge even.
Row 1: Ch 53, sk 1 ch, [insert hook in next ch, yo, pull lp through] 2 times, sk 1 ch, [insert hook in next ch, yo, pull lp through] 2 times, yo, pull through 5 lps on hook (half daisy made), ch 1, *insert hook in side lp of ch just worked, yo, pull lp through, insert hook in same ch as previous half daisy, yo, pull lp through, [insert hook in next ch, yo, pull lp through] 2 times, yo, pull through 5 lps on hook, ch 1, rep from * to last ch, hdc in last ch (see note about half double crochet above), turn: 24 half daisies and 1 hdc.
Note: The remainder is worked in front loops of each stitch, except the last stitch of a row, which is worked under both loops, for stability. The front loop is identified by looking at the top two loops of the stitch and using the one in the front, the one closest to you as you make the stitch.
Row 2: Working in front loops only, ch 1, sc in each st across, working in both lps, sc in ch at the end, turn: 50 sc.
Row 3: Ch 3, [insert hook in next ch, yo, pull lp through] 2 times, working in front loops only, sk 1 sc, [insert hook in next sc, yo, pull lp through] 2 times, yo, pull through 5 lps on hook, ch 1, *insert hook in side lp of ch just worked, yo, pull lp through, insert hook in same ch as previous half daisy, yo, pull lp through, [insert hook in next sc, yo, pull lp through] 2 times, yo, pull through 5 lps on hook, ch 1, rep from * to last sc, hdc in both loops of last sc, turn: 24 daisies and 1 hdc.
Rows 4-163: Rep rows 2-3.
Row 164: Rep row 2. (Alternatively, repeat until the yarn is gone, or until the project is the length you want, ending with a row 2 of the repeat.)
Finishing
Block as desired. I dipped the project in cool water to completely saturate then rolled it in a clean towel to remove excess moisture. Then, I shaped it and allowed to dry. You’re not trying to stretch it out. You’re just trying to shape it, remove any biasing and clean up the edges. Weave in all ends securely.
