Crochet Flower Stitch: A Fun and Whimsical Technique

Stitches Use & Code

• ch = chain
• st = stitch(es)
• dc = double crochet
• REP = repeat
• sp = space
• sl st = slip stitch
• RS = right side
• WS = wrong side
• 3D fl = 3D flower stitch

Notes

• This 3D flower stitch pattern is in multiples of 10 + 1 ch.
• This 3D flower stitch pattern is a 4 rows repeat (Row 2 – 5).
• This 3D flower stitch pattern can be used in row or round. For the following written instructions, I’m going to make it in a row.
• For the following written instructions, I’m using 1 color but you can use multiple colors. I recommend changing color on the 3D flower row.

For the following written instructions, I’ll show you how to crochet the 3D fl st first because I want you to understand how to make the 3D fl st, and then I’ll show you how to crochet the full written pattern (All are in the post below).

3D Flower Stitch

Step 1

2 dc into the same st. Picture below

Step 2

*(ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, sl st)* All into the post of the last dc that we did, REP from *TO* 1 more time into the same dc post. Picture below

Step 3

*(ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, sl st)* All into the post of the previous dc, REP from *TO* 2 more times, then ch1. Your first 3D fl st is complete. Picture below.

Row Instructions

Row 1 (WS): ch 41, sk 3 ch (count as 1 dc), 1 dc into next ch and each ch across. Total of 39 dc.

Row 2 (RS): Turn, ch 3 (count as 1 dc), 1 dc into each of next 3 st, 1 3D fl into next st, *1 dc into each of next 9 st, 1 3D fl into next st* REP from *TO* until you have 4 st left, 1 dc into each of next 4 st. Total of 4 3D flowers (Check picture below).

Row 3: Turn, ch 3 (count as 1 dc), 1 dc into each st across (Including the ch 1 sp that we did the 3D fl st as well). DO NOT crochet into the 2 dc that we did when we start making the 3D fl st. Total of 39 dc (Check picture below).

Row 4: Turn, ch 3 (count as 1 dc), 1 dc into each st across. Total of 39 dc.

Row 5: REP row 4. Total of 39 dc.

Repeat Row 2 – 5 for the remainder of your project, then next row REP Row 2. For the last row REP Row 3.

I repeat Row 2 – 5 one more time. Total of 9 rows.

Row 10: REP Row 2.

Row 11: REP Row 3.

Congratulations! You just added the 3D flower stitch to your bag of crochet tricks.
