TO MAKE DAISIES:
These directions can be used for the HERO Crazy Daisy Winder and for the HERO King Size Crazy Daisy Winder.
A: Hold winder in left hand with flat side in palm of hand. Turn knob to release spokes (see [illustration A]).
B: Turn winder over with knob underneath and flat side with spokes extended facing you. Hold winder in left hand. With left thumb hold yarn at center leaving end to extend about 1″; with right hand, pass yarn from left to right around spoke No. 1; then across center from right to left around spoke No. 2 directly opposite. Wrap around these 2 spokes once more in the same manner, or as many times as desired (the number of wraps depends upon the thickness of the yarn you will be using). Bring yarn across center and wind from left to right around spoke No. 3; then across center from right to left around spoke No. 4. Wrap around these 2 spokes once more, or as many times as you wrapped around spoke 1 and 2. Bring yarn across center and wind from left to right around spoke No. 5; then across center and from right to left around spoke No. 6. Wrap around these 2 spokes once more or as many times as you wrapped around spoke 1 and 2. Continue in this manner to wrap yarn around 2 spokes directly opposite each other and then passing onto the next 2 spokes until all spokes are wrapped, ending with spoke No. 12. Bring yarn across center and cut leaving 1″ extended beyond center (see [illustration B]). Do not remove from winder.

C: Center: Thread tapestry needle with yarn. The side facing you will be the wrong side of the daisy. Fasten at center of wrong side as for embroidery. Insert needle under 4 petals and draw yarn through; bring yarn back over last 3 of the 4 petals; insert needle under these 3 petals plus 1 more, making 4 petals in all; draw yarn through. Continue in this manner to bring yarn back 3 petals and then draw it under 4 petals each time until you have made 13 sts. Be sure to have 13 sts or center will be incomplete. As the center sts are worked, weave around the starting end of daisy for a few sts to fasten it securely. Fasten on wrong side. Cut ends (see [illustration C]). Turn knob to draw in spokes and release daisy.
