That’s a beautiful crochet puff flower stitch pattern (also known as a 3D puff daisy stitch). 🌼
Here’s how you can make it step-by-step:
🌸 Crochet 3D Puff Flower Stitch — Full Tutorial
🧶 Materials
- Yarn: Medium or soft acrylic (4-ply or DK)
- Hook: 3.0–4.0 mm (depending on yarn thickness)
- Scissors
- Yarn needle

🪡 Step 1: Foundation Chain
We need to start with a multiple of 10 + 3 chains.
👉 Example:
Ch 33 (30 + 3)
🧵 Step 2: Row 1 — Base Double Crochet Row
This will form the base of your pattern.
- Yarn over, and make 1 double crochet (dc) in the 4th chain from the hook.
(The first 3 chains count as the first dc.) - Continue making 1 dc in each chain all the way across.
- Chain 3 and turn your work.
🧩 Now you have your first row of dc stitches.

🌼 Step 3: Row 2 — Create Spaces for Flowers
We’ll make gaps for the puff flowers.
- Chain 3 (counts as 1 dc).
- Make 1 dc in each of the next 3 stitches.
- Chain 1, skip 1 stitch.
- Repeat steps 2–3 across the row.
→ You’ll have little chain-1 gaps evenly spaced. - Chain 3 and turn.
These gaps will be where your puff flowers “grow.”
🌸 Step 4: Row 3 — Puff Flower Row (Main Pattern)
Now the fun part — making the puff flowers!
Each puff flower is made inside a chain-1 space.
How to make one puff flower:
- Yarn over, insert hook into chain-1 space, pull up a loop (keep it long, about 1 cm).
- Repeat this 5 times in the same space.
→ You’ll have 11 loops on your hook. - Yarn over and pull through all loops on your hook.
- Chain 1 to close the puff.
That’s your first petal cluster.
Now:
- Chain 2 for spacing.
- Skip 4 dc stitches (from the previous row).
- In the next chain-1 space, make another puff flower.
Repeat until the end of the row.
At the end, chain 3 and turn.

🌼 Step 5: Row 4 — Double Crochet Row
This row helps secure your puff flowers.
- Chain 3 (counts as first dc).
- Make 1 dc in each stitch and chain space across.
- Turn.
🌸 Step 6: Repeat Pattern
Repeat Rows 2–4 for as long as you want.
Each set of 3 rows adds a new row of puff flowers.

✨ Optional Variations
- Change yarn color for each puff flower row → colorful flower rows.
- Use fine cotton yarn for lace-style effect.
- Make it into a scarf, blanket, or pillow cover.
