How to make crochet flower

Thatโ€™s a crochet flower motif โ€” it looks like a daisy or sunflower style with long loop petals. ๐ŸŒผ
Hereโ€™s a step-by-step tutorial on how to make it:


๐Ÿงถ Crochet Flower Motif (Sunflower / Daisy Style)

๐ŸŒธ Materials:

  • 3 colors of yarn:
    • Green (center)
    • Yellow (petals)
    • White (optional border)
  • Crochet hook: 2.0โ€“2.5 mm (depending on yarn thickness)
  • Scissors
  • Yarn needle

๐Ÿ”น Step 1: Crochet the Center (Green Part)

  1. Start with a magic ring.
    • Wrap yarn around your fingers to form a small loop.
    • Insert hook, pull up a loop, chain 1.
  2. Round 1:
    • Crochet 12 double crochets (dc) into the magic ring.
    • Pull the ring tight to close the center.
    • Join with a slip stitch (sl st) into the top of the first dc.
    • (12 dc total)
  3. Round 2:
    • Chain 1.
    • Make 2 single crochets (sc) in each stitch around.
    • Join with sl st to the first sc.
    • (24 sc total)
    ๐Ÿ”ธ This makes a flat green circle โ€” this is your flower center.

๐Ÿ”น Step 2: Add the Petal Loops (Yellow Yarn)

  1. Attach yellow yarn to any stitch of the green round.
  2. Chain 12 (for long petals โ€” you can make 10โ€“14 depending on your preference).
  3. Insert hook into next stitch of the green round and make a slip stitch.
    • Thatโ€™s one petal loop! ๐ŸŒผ
  4. Repeat this process around:
    • Ch 12, sl st into next stitch, repeat all the way around the circle.
    • You should get 24 petal loops (1 for each stitch).
  5. When done, join with sl st to the first stitch.
  6. Fasten off and weave in the end.

โœ… Now youโ€™ll have a circle with long yellow loops all around.


๐Ÿ”น Step 3: Secure and Shape Petals

To make petals more even and firm:

  1. Insert hook into the center of the first loop, and make 1 single crochet (sc).
  2. Then make chain 1, move to the next loop, make 1 sc.
  3. Continue all around the circle.
  4. Join with sl st to first sc.
  5. This helps all petals stay in place and gives a neater shape.

(If you like softer petals, skip this step.)


๐Ÿ”น Step 4 (Optional): Turn It into a Square Motif (Like Purple One)

Now weโ€™ll make the white square base.

  1. Attach white yarn to any top loop (at the petal base).
  2. Chain 3 (counts as first dc).
  3. Work 2 more dc in the same space.
  4. Chain 2, then 3 dc in the next petal base โ€” repeat 4 times to make the four corners.

Between corners, crochet 1 dc in each petal base until the next corner.

  1. Continue working around, forming 4 corners with 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc each.
  2. Join with sl st to the top of chain-3.
  3. Fasten off and weave in ends.

๐ŸŒผ Step 5: Finish and Block

  • Trim extra yarn ends.
  • Flatten your motif and gently steam block it to make petals open beautifully.

โœ… Optional Ideas:

  • Use brown for the center โ†’ looks like a sunflower ๐ŸŒป
  • Use purple or pink for petals โ†’ daisy or aster style ๐ŸŒธ
  • Join several motifs to make a blanket, bag, or coaster set!
