This is a beautiful puff-flower / elongated-loop stitch blanket.
I’ll show you exactly how to make it, step by step.
No special tools—just yarn and a hook.
🌼 FULL DETAILED TUTORIAL
(Every step explained clearly)
🔹 WHAT YOU NEED
- Soft chenille / baby velvet yarn (like in your picture)
- Crochet hook: 4.0–5.0 mm (depending on yarn)
- Scissors
🔹 STITCHES USED
- Chain (ch)
- Single crochet (sc)
- Puff stitch (multiple long loops)
- Long loop cluster (petals)
🔹 PATTERN MULTIPLE
👉 Multiple of 6 + 2
Example: 56 + 2 = 58 chains.
⭐ STEP-BY-STEP IN FULL DETAIL
✨ ROW 1 — Foundation Row
- Make a slip knot.
- Chain a multiple of 6 + 2.
- Single crochet in the 2nd chain from hook.
- SC all the way across.
- Turn.
This row supports all the flowers.
✨ ROW 2 — Puff Centers (small oval bumps)
These are the little puff “buds” in the center of each flower.
- Ch 1
- SC in first stitch
- In the next stitch:
- Yarn over
- Insert hook, pull up a LONG loop (about 2–3 cm)
- Repeat pulling long loops 4 times in the same stitch
- Yarn over, pull through ALL loops
- Chain 1 to lock
→ This is your puff center
- Skip 1 stitch
- SC in the next stitch
- Repeat steps 3–5 across the row
- Finish with 1 SC in the last stitch
- Turn
✔ You now have a row of puff centers spaced apart.
✨ ROW 3 — Petal Loops (long petals around each puff)
This creates the beautiful “butterfly wing” loops in your picture.
- Ch 1, SC in first stitch
- Insert hook into the chain-1 space on top of the puff
- Pull up a long loop (same height as previous)
- Repeat pulling loops 3 times total
- Yarn over and pull through all loops
- Chain 1 to lock
→ This forms one flower on each puff - SC into the next SC from row 2
- Repeat the process across
- Turn
✔ After this row, you now see full flowers!
✨ ROW 4 — Next Puff Center Row
This row repeats Row 2 but the puffs sit between the previous flowers.
- Ch 1
- SC in first st
- In the next stitch:
Make the puff center exactly like before - Skip 1 st
- SC in next
- Repeat across
- Turn
✨ ROW 5 — Petals Again
Same as Row 3.
Each new puff gets long loops.
🎯 REPEAT
Alternate:
✔ Row 2 → Row 3 → Row 4 → Row 5
until your blanket reaches the desired size.
🌟 EXTRA DETAILED NOTES (IMPORTANT)
✔ How long should the loops be?
About 2.5–3 cm.
If you want your blanket more fluffy, make them longer.
✔ How to keep loops even?
Use:
- Your finger
- A small piece of cardboard
- Or measure with a ruler
✔ Yarn suggestion
