Another plant buddy joins the bunch! Introducing the Daisy Plant Buddy! We're just days away from the first day of spring and this pattern is the perfect one to whip up as the days become warmer. Did you know that the term "daisy" comes from the Old English word "daes eage" meaning "day's eye?" It's because its flower blossoms at the first sign of dawn. Daisies don't have to be white either! Daisies also come in yellow, orange, red, and pink. So, decide which color you want your Daisy Buddy to be, and work up enough to line your windowsills this spring!

Crochet plants are perfect for homes with pets because many plants are toxic to our furry (and flighted) friends. Yep...that includes daisies!
