🌼 Detailed Crochet Puff Flower Square Motif Pattern
🧶 Materials
- Worsted weight yarn (Category 4)
- 4.0 mm or 4.5 mm crochet hook
- Scissors
- Yarn needle
🔹 Stitch Guide
- Puff Stitch:
- Yarn over, insert hook into stitch, yarn over and pull up a loop (3 loops on hook).
- Repeat 4 more times in the same stitch (you’ll have 11 loops).
- Yarn over and pull through all 11 loops, ch 1 to secure.
🔁 Pattern Instructions:
🔸 Round 1 – Foundation Ring
- Magic ring, or ch 4 and join with sl st to form a ring.
- Ch 3 (counts as 1 dc).
- Work 11 dc into the ring (12 dc total including ch-3).
- Sl st to top of starting ch-3.
✅ You now have a circle of 12 dc stitches.
🔸 Round 2 – Puff Petals
- Ch 1.
- Into each dc, work:
- 1 puff stitch, then ch 1.
- You will end up with 12 puff stitches, each separated by a ch 1 space.
- Sl st into the top of the first puff stitch to close the round.
✅ This creates a textured flower-like circle.
🔸 Round 3 – Beginning to Square Off
- Sl st into the next ch-1 space.
- Work (Puff, ch 2, Puff) into that space — this forms Corner 1.
- In the next ch-1 spaces, work: (Puff, ch 1).
- Repeat the sequence:
- (Puff, ch 2, Puff) in next corner space,
- (Puff, ch 1) in two side spaces.
🔁 Repeat this all around: 4 corners total, with 2 puff stitches between corners.
5. Sl st into top of first puff to join.
✅ Your motif is now shaping into a square.
🔸 Round 4 – Expanding the Square
- Sl st to next ch-2 corner space.
- Work (Puff, ch 2, Puff) in each corner.
- In each side ch-1 space, work (Puff, ch 1).
- Continue this pattern around.
- Join with sl st to the top of the first puff.
- Fasten off and weave in the ends.
