The looms came in a kit that included a round loom and a square loom. The kit included patterns for the daisy afghan made using the round loom and an American flag afghan using the square loom. The square loom is available on Etsy right now, but I haven’t seen a round one for sale. http://www.etsy.com/listing/183965217/vintage-2-flower-looms-and-knitting?utm_source=google&utm_medium=product_listing_promoted&utm_campaign=supplies_low&gclid=CJGB2dXJkr4CFchFMgodnAkAWA

The Daisy afghan was introduced by Family Circle magazine in the mid 1970’s. In their 1982 50th Anniversary issue they say, ” our famous daisy afghan that topped all FC records for the most-prized project.” they named it “the Most Popular Afghan Ever/’. In this 1982 issue they have the instructions for an updated version using boysenberry and raspberry cream with a softer fluffier yarn. The original name was Field of Daisies Afghan.
I suspect the only way to find the loom today would be at an estate sale, or on eBay. I haven’t seen one in a craft store, but then I haven’t been searching for it.

  I have seen them, sold by Boye; in the last several years. A few have reported daisy looms of antiquity; aka older than 1970. The design isn’t new, and if you really want, you can even make them using a notched circle of cardboard!

How pretty-I love this daisy! Years ago, I got a Bloom Loom from someone/somewhere, and the directions that came with it were terrible. The manufacturer had a “joke” of a chart with it as well. Long story shirt, I didn’t use it and it’s in my craft room somewhere.
I am so glad you came up with a crochet version on this type of loomed flower. I really like the look of this. Thank you very much! :). 🙂

I made a daisy quilt like this in the 70’s for my own Mother who treasured it. I loved making it for her. My sister stole it from my Mom’s nursing home room, took it to New Zealand and sold it on TradeMe for $27. She also listed it for sale just 10 days after my had Father passed away in 2014 and whose funeral she did not attend! Nicest person isn’t she?

  There are buttons at the bottom of each post under “share this.” There is a button that says “more,” and if you hover over it, it will have an option to print. You can also just copy and paste the text into a word doc or something similar, and print that way.

I made this afghan as a girl growing up. I think it was in a wool yarn. Anyhow someone in the family washed it and shrunk it. It probably got thrown away over the years. I still have both the square and round looms in my sewing room. One peg got broken and we replaced it with a match stem.

I got several flower looms at Thrift stores, but I believe Clover craft supplies sell them.
Love the blanket.
