3D Crochet Flower Making For Beginners

Absolutely! Here’s a very detailed step-by-step tutorial for making the 3D layered crochet flower like in this image:

🌸 Detailed 3D Crochet Flower with Layered Petals

These flowers have a star-shaped center and multiple layers of petals that build outward, creating a beautiful 3D effect.

🧶 Materials You Need:

✔ Fine cotton yarn or crochet thread (2 colors: center and petals)
✔ Crochet hook (commonly 1.75mm – 2.5mm)
✔ Yarn needle for weaving ends
✔ Scissors

✨ Step-by-Step Instructions

Part 1: Center Star (Yellow Part)

1. Magic Ring or Start with Chains:

  • Chain 4, slip stitch to form a ring.

2. Round 1 – Create the Base:

  • Chain 1 (does not count as stitch)
  • Work 6 single crochets (SC) into the ring
  • Slip stitch to the first SC to close the round (Total = 6 stitches)

Part 2: Star Petals in Center

3. Round 2 – Form Star Points:

  • Chain 4, skip the next stitch, slip stitch in the following stitch
  • Repeat this sequence around the circle to create 3 chain loops
  • Fasten off yellow yarn

These loops are the base for your first layer of petals.

🌼 Part 3: First Layer of Petals

4. Join petal color yarn (purple, red, or green in your image):

  • Attach yarn to any chain-4 loop.

5. In each loop work the following:

  • SC (Single Crochet)
  • HDC (Half Double Crochet)
  • 3 DC (Double Crochet)
  • HDC
  • SC

This creates one petal. Repeat for all 3 loops.
Slip stitch to join. Your first layer of petals is complete.

🌿 Part 4: Second Layer of Petals (Back Layer)

6. Create loops for the second layer:

  • Turn the flower over to the back.
  • Insert hook between petals at the base.
  • Chain 5, slip stitch between next petals, repeat to create 3 new chain loops around the back.

7. Work petals in each new loop:

  • SC
  • HDC
  • 4 DC
  • HDC
  • SC

This layer sits slightly behind and larger than the first.

🌺 Part 5: Third Layer of Petals (Optional for More Fullness)

8. Create third layer loops:

  • As before, work from the back, attaching yarn at the base of second layer petals.
  • Chain 6, slip stitch at the next space, repeat for all 3 loops.

9. Work petals in each loop:

  • SC
  • HDC
  • 5 DC
  • HDC
  • SC

This creates a larger, fuller third layer, just like the purple flower in your image.

✅ Finishing Steps

  • Weave in all yarn tails with a yarn needle.
  • Gently shape the petals with your fingers for evenness.
  • You can slightly block the flower for a more polished look.

🎨 Additional Notes

  • You can make more than 3 layers by repeating the same process with larger loops each time.
  • Change yarn thickness or hook size to create different flower sizes.
  • Perfect for brooches, embellishments, hair accessories, or sewing onto bags and garments.
