Learn To Crochet the Tiny Flower Crochet Stitch

*Scroll down for entire pattern

I found a stitch in one of my crochet stitch dictionaries that used this half double crochet and puff stitch combination but instead of little flowers it formed a faux braid all the way up. As I got going inspiration struck and I thought that those little puff stitches would make perfect little flowers. Boom, the tiny flower crochet stitch was born. 

This is a relatively easy stitch and would be a great one for a crochet blanket or scarf. You need to know how to chain, half double crochet, skip stitches and make a puff stitch (which is a half double crochet 3 together all in one stitch). When you get to a flower in the pattern you will: 

Tiny Flower Crochet Stitch Step 1 | The Unraveled Mitten

Step 1: Ch 1, skip 1 stitch, make a puff -aka: hdc3tog (see notes below for explanation)- in the next stitch, ch 1, skip 1 stitch and continue on with the pattern to the end of the row.

Tiny Flower Crochet Stitch Step 2 | The Unraveled Mitten

Step 2: On the next row when you get to that ch-1 space, make a puff, ch 1, skip the puff stitch from the row below and puff stitch in next ch-1 space. Continue on with the pattern to the end of the row. 

Tiny Flower Crochet Stitch Step 3 | The Unraveled Mitten

Step 3: The next row is just like step 1, When you get to a puff stitch, ch 1 and skip it, puff in next ch-1 space, ch 1 and skip the next puff stitch. Continue on with the pattern to the end of the row and beyond.

  1. I’ve tried round 2 like 20 times and every time I end with extra stitches at the end. Instead of the supposed 5, I get left with 8. What am I doing wrong?

  2. I bought some yarn to try and make scarves ( for gifts) using the flower stitch. In practicing making smaller I can sense I need more help in the refiguring the patter. I decided to use multiple of 8 as (24) plus 6equals 30 as chain amount. Next row all half doubles but for the next row after cutting to 3 instead of four half doubles isn’t even… I’m wondering if I should just look for a pattern. Just live the little flower though. 🤔

    1. On row 2 there should be 5 hdc at the beginning of the row, end of the row and between each puff stitch. Be sure your are not counting the ch 1 as a stitch and placing your first hdc in that same stitch at the base of the ch 1.

  3. This square calls for a 5.0 mm hook while the previous ones called for a 5.5? Is that a typo or do we use a smaller hook?

  4. I have been saving the squares as each was published,,, but have not yet begun to make them,,, coming up shortly. Let me say how generous and thoughtful it is of you to share these little treasures which will make for an outstanding afghan. Much thanks to you SMILE Helen A fan in Dixie

  5. Will there be a planned method of joining all the blocks at the end? All my squares are not finished with the same number of single crochets.

    1. Yes I will do a joining tutorial. As long as your squares are all 12×12 or the same size, they should join together great.
