How to Crochet the Flower Stitch Photo Tutorial
The Crochet Flower Stitch is an easy repeatable pattern. I wanted to create a warm fabric that still has beautiful flowers in it and decided to use a stitch, which is similar to the crochet Lotus stitch and the Lace Flower Stitch.
This puff flower crochet blanket stitch is made by working 3 Puff stitches that are worked into a V stitch, while each puff is separated by a chain. The flowers are shifted aside with each repetition, so they won’t be stacking over each other.

How to Crochet the Puff Stitch
(yo, insert hook into next st, yo and pull up a loop) x 4 times working into same st, yo and pull through 8 loops, yo again and pull through 2 remaining loops.
Notes
- Ch2 at the beginning of the row does not count as a stitch.
- Stitch multiple: the pattern is s multiple of 18 sts + 18. For example: 18×2+18.
- “Flowers” in the stitch count represents [Puff, ch 1, Puff, Ch 1, Puff].
- When skipping stitches, V-st (dc, ch 1, dc) – counts as 3 stitches.
- The V-sts are aligned with the Flower’s center 3 rows below.
