*NOTE: THIS TUTORIAL SHOWS THE 5 STICH DAISY STITCH. SOME SIZES US A 6 STITCH DAISY STITCH. BE SURE YOU ARE USING THE RIGHT NUMBER OF STITCHES FOR YOUR SIZE.*

Place your yarn to the back. Slip the first wrap only from the 5 3wrapped stitches, DROPPING THE NEXT 2 WRAPS from Round 2 purlwise (making a long stitch). Now wrap your yarn around the post of those long stitches twice, back to front. You will need to move your stitches from holding needle to working needle as you do this. Or you could place these 5 long stitched on a safety pin, stitch marker or cable needle and wrap around them. Your daisy is now formed. Bring your yarn to the front to purl your next stitch.
