=Illustration B—SINGLE PETAL DAISY WRAPPED OVER 1 SPOKE.= With left
thumb, hold yarn across center of winder leaving end extend about 1
inch beyond center. With right hand, pass yarn from left to right
around spoke at top (No. 1); across center of winder from right to
left around spoke directly opposite (No. 2), across center of winder
from left to right around spoke No. 3 at right of 1st spoke wrapped;
across center, from right to left around spoke No. 4 at left of 2nd
spoke wrapped; across center, from left to right around spoke No. 5;
across center, from right to left around spoke No. 6; and continue
in this way wrapping each spoke once, always passing across center
to wrap spoke opposite, until the 12th spoke is wrapped. Bring yarn
across center and cut end about 1 inch beyond center. MAKE CENTER
BEFORE REMOVING DAISY FROM WINDER. See Illustration E.

=Illustration C—DOUBLE PETAL DAISY WRAPPED OVER 1 SPOKE.= With left
thumb hold yarn at center leaving end to extend about 1 inch; with
right hand, pass yarn from left to right around spoke No. 1 at
top; across center; from right to left around spoke No. 2 directly
opposite, wrap around these 2 spokes once more in same way; across
center, from left to right around spoke No. 3 at right of spoke 1st
wrapped; across center, from right to left around spoke No. 4 at
left of 2nd spoke wrapped; wrap these 2 spokes once more; across
center, from left to right around spoke No. 5; from right to left
around spoke No. 6; around these 2 once more; and continue in this
way wrapping twice around 2 spokes exactly opposite then passing on
to the next 2, until all spokes are wrapped twice ending with No. 12;
bring yarn across center and cut end about 1 inch beyond center. If
a daisy of more layers of petals is desired, wrap as many times as
you desire layers of petals. MAKE CENTER BEFORE REMOVING DAISY FROM
WINDER. See Illustration E.

=Illustration D—SINGLE PETAL DAISY WRAPPED OVER 2 SPOKES.= With left
thumb, hold yarn at center allowing end to extend about 1 inch. With
right hand, pass yarn from left to right around spokes Nos. 1 and 2;
across center, from right to left around Nos. 3 and 4; across center,
around 5 and 6; across center, around 7 and 8; across center, around
9 and 10; across center, around 11 and 1; across center, around 12
and 3; across center, around 2 and 5; across center, around 4 and
7; across center, around 6 and 9; across center, around 8 and 11;
across center, around 10 and 12; across center, cut end about 1 inch
beyond center. MAKE CENTER BEFORE REMOVING DAISY FROM WINDER. See
Illustration E.
=TO MAKE DOUBLE PETAL DAISY WRAPPED OVER 2 SPOKES.= Make same as
single petal over 2 spokes, then continue to wrap in same way as many
times as desired.

=Illustration E—Center.= Thread needle with yarn for center. Fasten
at center of wrong side of daisy as for embroidery. The side of daisy
toward you is the wrong side. Insert needle under 4 petals, draw yarn
through tightly; bring yarn back over the last 3 of these 4 petals,
insert needle under these 3 petals and 1 more making 4 petals in all;
draw yarn through, continue to bring yarn back over 3 petals and draw
it under 4 petals each time until you have made 13 stitches. Be sure
there are 13, otherwise your center will not be complete. As the
weaving stitches are worked, be careful to carry around the starting
yarn end of Daisy, taking each weaving stitch over this end for at
least 10 stitches so as to fasten it securely. This is particularly
necessary with all the cotton threads. Fasten yarn on wrong side. Cut
off all ends close to center.
Turn knob in opposite direction to draw in spokes and release daisy.
=Illustration F.= Right side of complete daisy.
