This is the 3rd raffia yarn crochet project I did in a row, I really get crazy about it. But, after Daisy Brooch, I am going back to my other crafts, like sewing, knitting, etc… they were yelling at me for leaving them alone for too long. Guess what I have to take turns for each craft and to be fair to all of them…lol!!!
You probably saw this straw daisy brooch peeping in the pictures of my 2 previous posts, Beach Bag and Sun Hat. You are right, I used the same crochet technique for the disc florets of the daisy, i.e the first layer is a simple back loop with only single crochet, and after we finished the 1st layer, work backward and crochet the front loops with slip stitches.
And if you have been browsing through my other crochet tutorials and patterns, you probably won’t miss out on the popular loop stitch shaggy bag I have made. The petals of this daisy are done by loop stitches crochet, the same technique used in the shaggy bag. The slight difference is the loops are cut and the raffia yarns are stretched out wide in the daisy petals. If you are new and haven’t got a clue on how to crochet a loop stitch, don’t worry, watch the video in this post.

I love all of your patterns, I live near Toronto Ontario Canada and am having real difficulty finding the raffia yarn. Do you have any suggestions?

Sorry, Gillian, I can't make any suggestion for the local shop. Perhaps if you read through the comments here you may find some clue for the online shop, but I am not sure if they are the same as what I have been using.
