Easy to make crochet puff flower

Posted on October 11, 2025

That’s a beautiful crochet border pattern! 💜
It looks like a 3D flower edge stitch (often called a calla lily border or bud border stitch), featuring purple puff stitches enclosed by white petal loops.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to make it:


🧶 Materials:

  • Yarn:
    • Color A: Cream or White (for base & petals)
    • Color B: Purple (for flower buds)
  • Hook: size that fits your yarn (commonly 3.0–3.5 mm)
  • Scissors
  • Tapestry needle

🌷 Crochet Pattern (Step-by-Step Tutorial)

Step 1: Foundation

  1. Using white yarn, make a foundation chain — multiple of 6 + 1 (for example, 31 or 37 chains).
  2. In the 4th chain from the hook, make 1 double crochet (dc).
  3. Continue making 1 dc in each chain across the row.
  4. Turn your work.
    👉 This creates your base row.

Step 2: Base Texture Row

  1. Chain 3 (counts as your first dc).
  2. Make 1 dc in each stitch across.
  3. Turn.
    👉 You now have two rows of dc. This gives the border a solid base.

Step 3: Puff Flower Row (Purple Buds)

  1. Switch to purple yarn.
  2. Chain 1 (does not count as a stitch).
  3. Puff Stitch:
    • Yarn over, insert hook into next stitch, pull up a loop.
    • Repeat this 3 more times (you’ll have 9 loops on hook).
    • Yarn over and pull through all loops.
    • Chain 1 to secure.
  4. Skip 2 stitches, then make another puff stitch in the next stitch.
  5. Continue across the row: puff stitch, skip 2 stitches, puff stitch… until the end.
  6. Fasten off the purple yarn and cut it.
    👉 You now have a row of small puffy buds.

Step 4: Petal Formation (White Yarn Again)

Now we make the “petals” that wrap around the purple buds.

  1. Rejoin white yarn at the start of the row.
  2. Chain 3 (counts as dc).
  3. In the next 2 stitches, make 1 dc in each.
  4. Now, for each purple puff:
    • Chain 7.
    • Insert your hook behind the puff stitch and make 1 single crochet (sc) around its base — this anchors the chain behind the puff.
    • Chain 7 again.
    • Skip 2 stitches after the puff and make 1 dc in the next stitch.
  5. Continue this pattern across:
    (dc x3, chain 7, sc behind puff, chain 7, dc) repeat for each flower.
  6. At the end, chain 3 and turn.

👉 Now each puff looks like it’s wrapped in two long chains forming a petal on each side.


Step 5: Finishing Top Edge

We’ll give the border a finished, pretty edge.

  1. Chain 3 (counts as 1 dc).
  2. Work 1 dc in each dc from the previous row.
  3. When you reach a chain-7 space:
    • Work 7 dc inside that chain loop (this fills out the petal).
  4. Continue across, filling each chain loop with 7 dc.
  5. At the very top of each petal, you can add a picot for extra detail:
    • (dc, ch 3, sl st into first ch) at the petal’s highest point.
  6. End with 1 dc in the last stitch.
  7. Fasten off and weave in ends.

🌼 Result:

You’ll get a row of 3D buds that look like little calla lilies or tulip buds, each enclosed by soft, curved petals. The alternating purple and white create a delicate, lacy edge perfect for baby blankets, shawls, or home décor.


💡 Tips:

  • If your petals curl too much, increase the chain length to 8 instead of 7.
  • For a tighter look, reduce to chain 6 instead of 7.
  • You can make the puff bigger by adding more loops (5 or 6 yarn overs instead of 4).
