This flower is made using a puff stitch / petal stitch technique. I’ll guide you step by step on how to make it:
🧶 Crochet 3D Flower with Puff/Loop Petals
Materials
- Green yarn (center)
- Yellow yarn (petals)
- 3.0–4.0 mm crochet hook (depending on yarn)
- Scissors & tapestry needle
Step 1 – Crochet the Center (Green Circle)
- Magic ring (or chain 5 and join to form a ring).
- Chain 3 (counts as first dc).
- Work 11 double crochets (dc) into the ring. (12 total stitches).
- Join with a slip stitch to the top of chain 3.
→ You now have a small green circle base.
Step 2 – Base for Petals
- Attach yellow yarn in any stitch of the green circle.
- Chain 1.
- In the same stitch, make a puff stitch:
- [Yarn over, insert hook into stitch, pull up a long loop] × 5 times (all in same stitch).
- Yarn over and pull through all loops on hook.
- Chain 1 to secure.
- Skip the next stitch, repeat puff in the next stitch.
- Continue all around.
→ You will now have 6 puff groups (the base of your petals).
Step 3 – Forming the Large Petals
Now we build the big 3D petals (as seen in your photo).
Each petal is made by crocheting tall loops and then closing them together.
- Insert hook into the chain space between puffs.
- Pull up a tall loop (about 2–3 cm high). Keep loop on hook.
- Repeat pulling up loops 8–10 times in the same space.
→ You now have many long loops on your hook (like broomstick loops). - Yarn over and pull through all loops.
- Chain 1 to close the petal.
- Chain 1 more for spacing.
- Move to next chain space and repeat for the next petal.
→ You should get 6 big yellow petals around.
Step 4 – Finishing Touch
- Fasten off the yarn.
- Weave in ends at the back using a tapestry needle.
- Flatten and shape the petals with your fingers.
✅ Now you have a 3D crochet flower exactly like in your picture!
This type of petal is sometimes called a long puff petal or broomstick puff petal.
