How to Crochet Puff Stitch Flowers: Beginner Friendly Tutorial

[@KittenBowl1]

This is a very good tutorial! I made several flowers in an hour. I admit I’m not a beginner crocheter but some tutorials weren’t as good as this one. It took time to weave in those ends and but they look much better to weave in the ends, except the last petal working yarn. I made them into flower hair tie 🌸, attaching each cute flower to a hair rubber band I got whole bunch from Target some time back. I’m giving a few to my sister and friends they love these cute stuff especially that I handmade them 😆. I think these are just very cute just having one on my wrist too, makes my day cheerful! 💕✨ Thanks for the great tutorial!

[@terrace1]

this would make a pretty square or round decorative pillow cover. thanks for sharing your crochet wisdom. have a nice day.

[@bhookedcrochet]

That is a great idea! Thanks Tess!

[@evanovak9747]

I like it. It is much more simple way, than another lady show on her tutorial. Thank you.

[@godsdaughter6745]

You are an excellent teacher & I can see that you even teach-as-you-go along the way.....Bravo!!!

[@bhookedcrochet]

Thank you so much, I appreciate your kind words!

[@DeAnnaStidham]

Thank you so much for making this so easy to follow. I am a beginner and been getting frustrated with tutorials , but you make it so easy to understand and keeping me from throwing my yard and needles across the room!

[@bhookedcrochet]

:D

[@marierichey1060]

YOUR FLOW OF SPEED IS PERFECT TO FOLLOW!!! AND YOUR HANDS ARE PRETTY TOO

[@bhookedcrochet]

Aww thanks :)

[@cherylruppel4181]

Thank you, I am an experience crocheter, a family member asked me to make an afghan of these flowers, for a relative of hers, I have read & downloaded a number of other tutorials, some how, they never came out quite right. Yours worked just fine & I am wizzing through the 100s of flowers I need to make

[@bhookedcrochet]

That's great! It is going to be beautiful!

[@gracefire7]

After looking at patterns and attempting to view other tuts, I am so thankful to have found yours, because now I have actually, finally, produced a puff stitch flower! It's so CUTE! I like your technique of pulling the strands up from the same sc, instead of dipping into the next ones to do more stitches for a single "petal"...this technique is just so much more logical to me! Brittany, THANK YOU! :D

[@galaxy2319]

Great video. Your speed and delivery were right-on! Easiest way to do a puff st flower

[@bhookedcrochet]

Thank you so much!

[@missmira2002]

Love your tutorials. I am a beginner and get so frustrated that they say "you need to do the magic circle so if you don't know how search for a tutorial then come back to this one" and they start after that part. I have reccomended that my fellow hookers subscribe to your channel too cause I LOVE the Yarn Scrap Friday videos. So nice to have so many options to do with scrap yarn. Keep up the amazing work.

[@bhookedcrochet]

Thank you so much, Miranda! I really appreciate that! When I started crocheting, I too was frustrated by how fast and vague the tutorials were... needless to say it inspired me to do what I'm doing :)

[@ralenewhite2591]

THANK YOU so much!! I'm a beginner crocheter. Although it took me two days to master this, I know I would have never comprehended this technique using a book. I look forward to viewing more of your videos.

[@hegebmyhre]

This is one of the better tutorials on Mollie flowers! I did better than other videos I've seen here at KZbin.

[@bhookedcrochet]

Thank you!

[@elizabethisall7058]

That is actually one of the best magic ring tutorials I've seen. I am ussually hit or miss doing them but this explained something I never understood. Thanks

[@bhookedcrochet]

Wow, that's great! Thank you!

[@hannahchallenger4367]

Thank you for making this video it's easy to follow and I will make a blanket out of these flowers and teach beginning crocheters how to make them:)

[@bhookedcrochet]

That's great, Hannah, thank you so much!

[@LyndaThomasflymefree54]

Oh boy, I do hope you are still keeping an eye on this channel. I have been doing crochet for years. Not bitty bitty flowers. These are cute, cute and look very easy. I've committed to make dozens if not hundreds of very small flowers for a group to use on different projects. Anything from tags to altered projects to canvas art. Some I will use a cotton so they can dye the color they choose. Some I'll be placing gems, jewels, seed beeds, etc for shabby chic. All will range from 3/4 to 11/2 inch diameter. That I think by tightening my stitches or reducing my hook size, I can accomplish that. You are an excellent teacher. What I need from you is to know which little flowers whip up fastest . I like this Puff Flower. As well, I think I could fit small buttons or gems in centers. I've watched one Irish flower video that was 3 layers. But she was speaking Russian, I think. I'd love to create a multi layer, simpler, quick version. Or somehow ruffle for the shabby chic ladies. I'll not get pay for this. I do it from my heart. Can you help? I am now a new Subbie. Thx for your help in advance. Andi

[@bhookedcrochet]

Hi Andi! What you're doing is great, it's so rewarding to crochet for a good cause! These puff flowers would be great as well as my simple crochet flower as they work up very quick. You may also check out my Lovely Layers Flower tutorial. It is a favorite of mine that looks advanced but is actually quite easy to crochet. I have around 8 flower patterns, most with tutorials, that you may be interested in for this project. If you haven't already, you should check out www.bhookedcrochet.com/patterns and browse the "crochet flowers" sub category. Clicking on each image will take you to the free pattern and those with videos are embedded right there in the page. Let me know if I can be of any more help. I can be reached on my social network channels as well as the contact page on my website. I wish you the best of luck!

Hi, checking in. Crochet weather is ... NOW!!! I'll be searching for unique if not quick gifts go create for the Holidays. As well I need some Home essentials for my tiny little spot of my own. I just moved so I need to now make it look like a masterpiece with function.

[@D29621x]

This is such a lovely tutorial! I've searched so many tutorials for this puff stitch flower and none of them were as clear and easy to follow as this one. Thanks a lot for uploading :) I'm off making a blanket with a ton of flowers now haha

[@bhookedcrochet]

Thank you so much for your kind words about this tutorial. I really appreciate it!

[@surrealdaydreams6932]

I made a four leaf clover on accident. I really enjoyed this. Thanks for creating this tutorial! I made this as my first project with crocheting.

[@bhookedcrochet]

How fun! I may have to recreate the for leaf clover for St. Patrick's day!

[@soriperez8383]

Love it. I can crochet almost anything by looking at it..I can't read, or understand the patterns, but I loved how simple you made it look, and how you explain it. thank you..keep bringing them on..😍😁

[@roxanneparker8163]

these are so pretty

[@ByCherS]

Thank you so much for the fabulous tutorial! You're a wonderful educator and so easy to understand! Can't wait to make this flower and see your other videos!

[@natepredmore9808]

Thank you sooo much for making this. I saw a magic ring flower pattern a while back and the damn ring made me want to rip my hair out. You made it easy to understand, and earned a subscriber, for sure!

[@bhookedcrochet]

That's wonderful, thank you so much!

[@cocoacrunch6090]

[@dcrochet3562]

I made my first puffy flower and it's almost perfect. Thank you for a great tutorial.

[@gabischmitt185]

This looks so easy and is!! Thank you for showing us this tutorial!!!

[@angie_68]

these were so easy than the other tutorials I am trying not one looked like a puff lol but this one came out great thank you, thinking of a cool project for them now, and to make many more colors :)

[@bhookedcrochet]

That's so great! Thank you!

[@nikole4269]

Thank you SO much for doing this tutorial for me! I can't wait to start making the baby blanket out of these. Thank you again! You're amazing!

[@bhookedcrochet]

You're welcome! Thank you for suggesting it, I had a lot of fun putting it together!

[@lindamicki0509]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! You were so easy to follow and so quick that I made several in different sizes. For my puff petals, I used a blue chunky mohair type yarn and a pink with hot pink metallic yarn for the center. They came out perfect and beautiful. Thanks again!

[@bhookedcrochet]

Oh that sounds really pretty!

[@lindamicki0509]

Thanks!

[@toothfairyfran]

After a few failed attempts I finally got it! Thank you

[@bhookedcrochet]

Great job!

[@RavenclawSeer]

They look so soft! I would love a pillow of them!

[@bhookedcrochet]

That would be lovely!

[@RavenclawSeer]

B.hooked Crochet For now though I may just make a few as random detached flowers. I've never made even a pin cushion. Do you have draw string bad patterns? I made a bag that I use but I accidentally invented my own stitch! It looks like dc but is in between hdc and dc, so, not good... :(

[@bhookedcrochet]

Some of the coolest designs are accidents! I have a few myself :) I don't have a drawstring bag pattern but I do have a full tutorial on a granny square tote. You can find both tutorials on my KZbin channel under the "February crochet-along" heading. I'd recommend giving it a try. It was a lot of fun to make!

[@RavenclawSeer]

B.hooked Crochet Good, since my bag is well, ragtag. It looks great but the stitches were not stitches! Between hdc and dc which apparently equals dc by sight. (I forgot the stitches). zit came out okay but it was not right. I am debating the shape. My bag was patchwork and made in a rectangular prism like most small messenger bags. It is filled with my little amigurumi now... I have it on my Deviantart profile if you want to see the pictures.

[@SamKilgannon24]

Really enjoyed this tutorial! I had struggled with other tutorials for puff stitch flowers in the past but I love the way they look so this is a fantastic breakthrough :D definitely subscribing to this channel.

[@bhookedcrochet]

That's fantastic! Thank you so much!

[@seamstresed]

Thank you for a great tutorial. I've tried to make these before but ended up frustrated. You gave some great tips. Can't wait to try them. Looking forward to watching your other videos.

[@sstevens-wilkins905]

[@bhookedcrochet]

Thank you so much!

[@Emmajen]

I love your tutorials, because they're so simple and easy to follow! :) I think I will try this one tomorrow. I tried to do a puff stitch flower yesterday from another tutorial and failed miserably, but I have a feeling I'll be able to if I follow yours. :) x

[@bhookedcrochet]

Thank you so much Emma! Let me know how it goes!

[@allieg6401]

Great video! Easy to follow, well layed out with really good camera angles. I saw this as a baby blanket and was like wow imight have a go, then was like omg you have to sew every flowertogether :( I hate sewing in ends let alone bigger projects. Thanks sooooooo much you have a new subscriber! Keep up the excellent work!!

[@lolia6793]

I want to thank you for sharing this I will be making a blanket for myself !!!

[@lindagant2578]

[@mariajimenez6686]

Gracias hija yo soy una vieja que esta aprendiendo y a ti es la unica que pude entender hacer un aro majico Dios te bendiga grandemente ,abuela te sigue

[@1jmass]

Very pretty. I find that if I close my magic ring a bit before doing the single crochets, it is easier to hold and control.

[@bhookedcrochet]

Good thinking!

[@theresakearney1094]

First puff flower I have been able to complete. I love the slow tutorial and the flowers.Thank you 😊

[@tanyaaneweer8432]

These flowers would make pretty curtains.

[@MsQueenbee8]

[@madisonhuertas2276]

It took me a few times to get the puff stitch right and when I did it was beautiful

[@bhookedcrochet]

That's great!

[@bhookedcrochet]

That's great, thank you!

[@toothfairyfran]

Great video! Thank you!

[@lucymar122512]

Thank for sharing your video. I didn't know how to crochet a puff flower. I made a crocheted bow I want to put the puff flower in the middle.

[@mariannesymes2297]

This was a great tutorial, and easy to understand even though English is not my language :) Thank you! I was just wondering: how do you join the flowers together? I'd like to make a baby blanket. And one more thing: Making the flowers bigger. I guess you could make the center ring bigger and just add more petals?

[@nursebrandi2011]

I put it on to my ear warmer I love this flower

[@bhookedcrochet]

Oh what a great idea!

[@hachibee3690]

Great tutorial. I could make one :) my flower's petals are uneven still..have to make more! Thank you so much.

[@bhookedcrochet]

Excellent, Thank you! Finger blocking your petals can really help out a lot too. You may give that a try!

[@PopleBackyardFarm]

great tutorial

[@eirinv6024]

This is exactly what I've been looking for! Thank you sooo much! Now my mom can get her new flower-blanket in time for her birthday :) Do you have any tips on how to stitch the flowers together?

[@bhookedcrochet]

That's great, Eirin! I would suggest using a darning needle to sew each petal together. Tedious work, I know, but it will be worth it! Alternatively, if you are a more advanced crocheter, you could experiment with the join as you go method.

[@eirinv6024]

B.hooked Crochet Thank you :)

[@Hayleylily]

Thank you for this tutorial! I'm due in August with a baby girl and JUST last night decided I need to learn how to crochet so I can make her a blanket made out of these petals. (Am I crazy?) This tutorial is definitely going to come in handy, so thank you! I'm curious, do you know where I could go to learn how to stitch them together into a blanket? I know it's a pretty ambitious endeavor, but I'm generally pretty crafty and enjoy this kind of tedious work, so I'm hoping to make it happen. I just don't really know where to begin! Thanks so much.

[@bhookedcrochet]

That's great, Hayley, congratulations! I don't think you are crazy at all! Ya know, I believe there is a patten for the blanket on Ravelry (the largest pattern source for crochet out there). I've been told there is a tutorial on how to put them together. If just do a general search on ravelry for a puff stitch flower blanket and see what comes up! Best of luck!

[@rebeccaoswald274]

Thank you so much! Great tutorial. I am actually making a blanket with these and was wondering what you would recommend for the border? I want to square it off but can't think of what to do!

[@bobbrandt8672]

i like it,i am going to try it

[@autumnconcerto09]

thanks for the tutorial..

[@angelamwende1786]

Thanks looks nice

[@Shadijezi]

Loved it..

[@bhookedcrochet]

Thank you!

[@WeirdLittleO]

Great tutorial :) can't get the hang of the magic circle though haha so had to do it from the loop method

[@bhookedcrochet]

Thank you! Yeah, the magic ring takes a little practice. keep trying! :)

[@moyakurai4292]

These are really pretty. I wonder would it be possible to fit them all together on canvas backing to make a rug?

[@bhookedcrochet]

You know, I bet you could. That would be a beautiful rug!

[@moyakurai4292]

I thought so too. My niece would love to have one in pinks and purples for her room. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@zarahmontiel]

best for beginners

[@Tambowz911]

I love these! I want to make them bigger around, how do I do that?

[@ryanbrock1190]

instead of chaining three when your crocheting the pedal chain as many as you want

[@dickerhoofbr2010]

Any tips on how to crochet them together. I’m new to crochet and I’m unsure how.

[@MegaMindyLou]

Do we have to do the magic loop? Can we just chain 3 or 4 in a loop?

[@saddam5342]

V v v v nice

[@grasshopper814]

good afternoon, i've been watching most of the beginner video, most if not all are great...i'm a little confused the magic ring is that the same ring i would do to start the crochet for a hat... please advised if i have not confused you .... lol.. thanks

[@bhookedcrochet]

There are a few different options when starting a hat, the magic ring being one of them. Generally the pattern will mention which starting method you use. If you are not following a pattern, the crocheter will start by using the method they are most comfortable with. Hope this answers your question properly!

[@michalinak.7052]

Great video, thank you. Which yarn and needle size did you use? The yarn type (Weight/Yardage/Gauge) would be very interesting, so I could translate this in the specification for german yarn.

[@bhookedcrochet]

Hi Michalina! I used a size 5mm crochet hook and Caron Simply Soft (worsted weight acrylic) yarn in this demonstration. It is a very flexible pattern that can be used for many different types of yarn.

[@dalenemurrietta2182]

This is the best magic ring to date thanks for sharing

[@mammac2411]

I love making these! Do you know how many I will need to make a baby blanket?

[@bhookedcrochet]

Quite a few! You'll probably have to calculate the number based on the size you want (I've not made one to give you an exact number). Measure the flowers you've made and divide that number by how wide you want it. Then repeat the same calculation for the length. Now multiply the two numbers and that should give you a rough idea!

[@annemartin9164]

great !!

[@Msttali]

Thank you for the tutorial, I know i found it late but Im hoping to get a question answered. Every time I try to pull the smaller string I can't, its stuck.. although when i take it out to retry it looks fine. Should I not be single crocheting the strand in?

[@bhookedcrochet]

Sometimes the magic ring is a tricky way to start. I have a couple videos that may help you with this though. Check out this video for a more detailed approach to the magic ring technique: www.bhookedcrochet.com/2014/12/28/crochet-magic-ring/ Or this video for an alternate method: www.bhookedcrochet.com/2014/11/11/alternative-magic-ring-method/

[@lynncarman7155]

Great instructions! Where can I post pics?

[@bhookedcrochet]

Thank you! You can post them to my z Facebook page or use #bhooked or @bhooked on Instagram. I'd love to see them!

[@65mala]

Got it on the first try! Unforunately I don't think I can post a pic here, as you asked for :/

[@donnaward9971]

Very nice.What size hook are you using?Thanks

[@bhookedcrochet]

Thank you! I used a 5mm hook for mine.

[@Werede]

I love the music

[@janicebond9132]

Looks nice but I have a disable finger so my circle won't come out right

[@sunnyjones682]

how do you crochet them together to form the blanket? Do you have a link for that?

[@bhookedcrochet]

I don't have a link for that yet, but this reminds me that I need to demonstrate this. People usually sew the flowers together with a darning needle. Tedious work, but worth it!

[@sunnyjones682]

Ok thanks!

[@nancycq2317]

Están muy lindas. Y como se pegan entre si?

[@carinadunn8201]

How do you join the flowers together? Is there a video link you can direct me to?

[@bhookedcrochet]

I don't have a tutorial on this technique yet but I hope to upload one in the future. The best way to join them is to use a darning needle and yarn to sew each petal together. Tedious but worth it if you sew as you go!

[@danikajefferson4506]

Do you have to do the magic ring to do this flowers??? I can't seem to grasp the concept

[@bhookedcrochet]

Nope, you sure don't. you can start off by chaining 3 and joining with the first chain to form your ring. You can do an "alternative magic ring method". I have a video tutorial on it in my Techniques playlist!

[@danikajefferson4506]

Ok great thanks

[@lluviadelacruz3639]

Danika Wilson estuve otro tipo es

[@tiffanyrobson4962]

I am a beginner and I am having a hard time making this flower. Any suggestions to make this process easy. I got the center down but the petals are just not easy

[@bhookedcrochet]

The most important thing to remember when crocheting the petals is to make sure you are really pulling the yarn up for each part of the puff stitch. Keep practicing! :)
