Crochet Puffy Flowers WRITTEN PATTERN
USA STITCH TERMS
Hook Size(s): according to your yarn
For my flowers in the video, I used DK weight yarn with a 4mm Hook.
Abbreviations:
Ch = Chain
Ch Sp = Chain Space
HDC = Half Double Crochet
SS = slip stitch
Special Stitch for flower petals = Elongated DC8TOG - worked over 2 chain spaces - yarn over, go into the chain space and draw up a long loop to the height of your hook, yarn over and draw through the 1st 2 loops only - repeat that action 3 more times (5 loops on your hook) then into the next chain space repeat another 4 times (9 loops on your hook) then yarn over and draw through all 9 loops to complete the stitch.
Push your DCTOG stitches forward from the back to get them to puff up.
Special Stitch for flower centers ONLY = Elongated DC10TOG - worked into one chain only - yarn over, go into the chain and draw up a long loop to the height of your hook, yarn over and draw through the 1st 2 loops only - repeat this action 9 more times (11 loops on your hook) then yarn over and draw through all 11 loops to complete the stitch.
Push your DCTOG stitches forward from the back to get them to puff up.
Rep = Repeat
Puffy Flower Petals
Foundation: Ch5 and ss into the 1st ch to form a ring.
Row 1: Ch3 (counts as a HDC & Ch1)
*HDC, ch1*
Rep * * 11 more times
SS into the 2nd Ch from initial ch3
Row 2: *Ch4, Elongated DC8TOG over the next 2 Ch Sps, Ch4, SS back into same Ch Sp that you ended the Elongated DC8TOG in*
Rep * * 5 more times (6 petals in total)
Ch1, cut your yarn leaving a long tail and pull tight.
Flip over your flower, place your hook behind the initial ch4 from start of Row 2 and draw yarn tail through. Tie the 2 yarn tails together tightly with a double knot.
Puffy Flower Centers
Ch2, then form a loose 3rd ch. Pinch the 3rd chain to prevent it from tightening up and then ch4.
Working into the loose 3rd ch, work an Elongated DC10TOG, ch1, cut your yarn leaving a long tail and pull tight.
To assemble your flowers: Place the center into the middle of the flower. Using your hook from the back of your work, pull the tail yarn from the puffy center through any ch1 sp from Row 1 of the Flower Petal rounds. On the opposite side of the flower, do the same with the other yarn tail.
Tie both tail ends tightly together with a double knot at the back of the work.
Trim your yarn ends or alternatively, use the ends to tie or sew your flowers onto your project. If the back will be seen, weave your ends in securely.

Happy Crocheting!
