Step-by-Step Instructions

Create the Tieback Base: Chain 55–70. Starting in the 2nd ch from hook, work 1 sc in each ch across. Turn, ch 1, and crochet 2–4 more rows of sc to form a narrow, sturdy band 2–3 cm wide. Alternatively, crochet an I-cord or twist two loose slip-stitch cords together.
Crochet the Large Daisy: Using mustard yarn, make an MR, 6 sc. Rnd 2: [2 sc in each st around] (12 sts). Rnd 3: [1 sc, inc] around (18 sts). Fasten off center. Attach cream yarn to any stitch; ch 7, then work (1 sc, 1 hdc, 3 dc, 1 hdc) down the chain. Sl st to the next st. Repeat for 12–18 petals. Add a second layer behind by working ch 8, (1 sc, 1 hdc, 4 dc, 1 hdc) and sl st into base sts.
Crochet Accent Flowers: For mustard and coral flowers, make a beige center (MR, 6 sc, inc around for 12 sts). Join accent yarn and work petals using ch 6 (or 7), (1 sc, 1 hdc, 2 or 3 dc, 1 hdc), and sl st to the next center st.

Assembly & Finishing

Weave in all loose ends on the back of your completed motifs, leaving one long matching yarn tail on each flower and leaf. Arrange your finished daisies, accent flowers, leaves, and hanging acorns along the crocheted tieback base before securing them firmly with your tapestry needle.

Pro Tips for Best Results

Test-fit a single daisy and leaf against your curtain before assembling the entire piece to ensure ideal sizing (8–10 cm for focal flowers).
Use firm, tight stitches for the flowers and acorns so they hold their shape and prevent stuffing from escaping.
Gently shape the petals with your fingers after finishing to enhance their organic, three-dimensional look.
