This beautiful 3D flower motif is made using layered crochet techniques that give it a petal-popping dimensional effect.
Below is a step-by-step pattern to make a similar 3D layered crochet flower motif like the one in this image:
🌸 3D Crochet Flower Motif Pattern (Hexagon)
🧶 Materials:
- 4–5 colors of DK weight yarn or cotton yarn
- Hook size: 3.5 mm – 4.5 mm (E–7 or G–6)
- Yarn needle
- Scissors
🔁 Abbreviations (US Terms):
- ch – chain
- sl st – slip stitch
- sc – single crochet
- hdc – half double crochet
- dc – double crochet
- tr – treble crochet
- fpdc – front post double crochet
- popcorn – group of stitches worked in the same stitch
🌼 Instructions:
✅ Round 1 (Center base):
Using Color A (e.g., grey),
- Make a magic ring.
- Ch 3 (counts as dc), make 11 dc into ring. (12 dc total)
- Join with sl st to top of ch-3.
✅ Round 2 (Start Petal Bases):
Change to Color B (e.g., light yellow),
- Ch 1, *sc in next st, ch 5, skip 1 st*, repeat around (6 ch-5 loops).
- Join with sl st.
✅ Round 3 (Petals):
In each ch-5 loop, work:
(sc, hdc, 3 dc, hdc, sc) – all into same loop.
Repeat in each loop for 6 petals.
Do not fasten off if continuing with the same color; otherwise, change color here.
✅ Round 4 (Behind Petals for Layering):
Change to Color C (e.g., green):
- Work **fpdc** (front post double crochet) around base dc of Round 1, between each petal.
- Ch 3 between each fpdc to create loops behind petals.
- You should now have 6 loops again.
✅ Round 5 (2nd Layer of Petals):
In each ch-3 loop, work:
(sc, hdc, 3 dc, hdc, sc) – like Round 3.
This creates the second layer of petals behind the first.
✅ Round 6 (Hexagon Shape Start):
Change to Color D (e.g., pink):
- In back loops only, *dc in next 4 stitches, (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in next stitch* to make corners.
- Continue around making a hexagonal shape.
Adjust stitches if needed to keep a flat motif.
✅ Round 7 (Border & Final Shaping):
Change to Color E (e.g., dark green):
- Dc around, placing (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) at each corner.
- Optional: Add one more round of dc for size or stability.
🌟 Tips for Best Results:
- Use stitch markers at corner ch-2 spaces for clarity.
- Block the motif after finishing to enhance the shape.
- Weave in ends carefully, especially behind petals.
