Floret Stitch Crochet Written Instructions
Grab your yarn and hook and let’s get started.
Row 1: Dc in 4th ch from hook and in each chain across, turn
Row 2: Ch 1 (counts as 1 sl st), *dc in next st, sl st in next. Repeat from * across. Your last sl st is worked in the top of turning ch 3. Turn
Row 3: Ch 3 (counts as 1 dc), dc in each dc and sl st across, working your last dc in turning ch 1.
And that’s it! Just repeat rows 2 and 3 until your piece is the desired size. Finish off and weave in ends

Tips For Crocheting the Floret Stitch
Make sure you are working the last stitches in the turning chains. They are easy to miss, especially that little ch 1 from row 2. I did it a couple of times while I was crocheting this swatch.
I haven’t swatched this yet but I think this stitch would look nice in multiple colors. Don’t let my single-colored swatch hold you back.
What are you going to make with this? A scarf, a baby blanket, an afghan made with cozy bulky yarn that you can snuggle under and drink a nice cup of steaming coffee… oh sorry I went off to dreamland there for a minute.

What are you going to use this crochet stitch for?
Thank you Heather for this beautiful, but simple, stitch. My mind’s eye sees this as a scarf first and then move up to a baby blanket. I too appreciate patterns that are simple repeats so that I can crochet without constant reference to the pattern. Most of my yarn time is during the evening, after work so that I can relax before bedtime. This fits nicely into that category of patterns.
I’m so glad I found your website!
Thank you for this beautiful stitch!!!
I was confused on the end of row two where it says to work last sl st into turning chain but there was none at the end of row one – just a chain 1 at the beginning of row two? I’m new so can someone advise me on this
