The lazy daisy stitch is a popular and approachable embroidery technique often selected for embroidering simple petal and leaf shapes, especially favored by beginners.
It's also referred to as the detached chain stitch, presenting a simplified variation of the chain stitch method.
In the diagram below, you can observe the sequential steps illustrating the progression of the stitch.
1- Start by threading your needle with embroidery floss. Next, guide the needle from the fabric's back to the front at point A, which will establish the center of your flower or leaf design. Make sure to pull the thread completely through.
2- Insert the needle at point B, right next to point A. Gently pull the thread, gradually guiding the needle to the back of the fabric.Pull the thread downwards until you've created a large loop on the fabric's surface. Make sure to leave a loop of the size you intend for the petal, ensuring it matches the dimensions you desire.
3- Now, bring the needle up to the upper side of the fabric at point C. The distance between the point where you went under the fabric initially and point C will determine the size of the petal you want to create.
4- Pass your needle through the inside of the loop. Pull your thread all the way through. Then, to create a short stitch that secures your large loop to the fabric, bring the needle down to the back of the fabric through point D.
There you have it, your lazy daisy stitch is complete! It's quite easy, isn't it?
Now, you have the freedom to create as many petals as you wish, allowing you to craft exquisite flowers according to your preferences.
The lazy daisy stitch is a stitching technique that also yields beautiful results in ribbon embroidery. The texture provided by the ribbon adds a lovely dimension to your flowers, creating more elaborate and eye-catching blooms compared to traditional thread embroidery.
Below are step-by-step images showcasing the application of the lazy daisy stitch in ribbon embroidery. This stitch works remarkably well for creating both petals and leaves. During the process, I used ribbons with a width of half a centimeter.
From a point immediately adjacent to where you emerged on the front side of the fabric, guide your needle to the back of the fabric. As you do this, gently pull the ribbon downward. Pause when a noticeable loop takes shape on the fabric's upper portion.
Make sure to leave a loop on the fabric's surface that is of the size required for the petal you desire.
Now, bring the needle up to the upper side of the fabric from the back, positioning it at a point where you desire the tip of the petal to be located. The distance between the initial point where you went beneath the fabric and this point will determine the size of the petal you intend to create.
Thread your needle through the inside of the loop and pull the ribbon completely through.
Next, create a short stitch to secure the large loop to the fabric by lowering the needle to the back of the fabric.

There you have it, the lazy daisy stitch works beautifully in ribbon embroidery, doesn't it? Now, as you can see in the images, embroider the remaining petals for your flower.
For a final touch, complete your flower by adding a French knot in the center using yellow ribbon, just as shown.
