lazy daisy
Detached chain stitch
A lazy daisy is an embroidery stitch forming a loop held in place by a small anchoring stitch, creating a petal-like shape.
Multiple lazy daisies arranged in a circle form a simple flower—hence the name.
The stitch is basic enough for beginners: She learned the lazy daisy stitch in her first embroidery class.
