That’s a lovely floral crochet design 🌸
The project in the photo is a round crochet motif with raised flower stems and 3D flowers.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to make a similar piece:
🧶 Materials Needed
- 4 colors of yarn: white (background), green (stems), yellow (flower center), and blue or yellow (petals)
- Crochet hook (size matches your yarn)
- Scissors
- Tapestry needle
🪡 Step 1: Crochet the Center Circle
- Make a magic ring.
- Crochet 12 double crochets (US) into the ring using yellow yarn.
- Join with a slip stitch to the first stitch and fasten off.
🌀 Step 2: Blue Ring Around the Center
- Attach blue yarn.
- Crochet 2 double crochets in each stitch around (total 24 dc).
- Join with slip stitch, fasten off.
☁️ Step 3: White Round Background
- Attach white yarn.
- Work double crochets around while increasing evenly each round to keep the shape flat (e.g., increase every 2nd, then every 3rd, etc.).
- Continue for several rounds until you have the size you want.
🌿 Step 4: Flower Stems (Green)
- Join green yarn between stitches near the blue ring.
- Chain 15–18 (depending on desired length).
- Attach to the outer white edge with a slip stitch to create a stem line.
- You can slip stitch or surface crochet back along the chain to make the stem thicker.
🌼 Step 5: Crochet 3D Flowers
- At the tip of each green chain:
- Attach blue or yellow yarn.
- Chain 3, then make 2 double crochets in the same stitch, chain 3, slip stitch (this creates one petal).
- Repeat around to make 5 petals.
- Tighten and fasten off.
🪡 Step 6: Finishing
- Weave in all loose ends with a tapestry needle.
- Block your work gently with steam or water to shape it nicely.
✨ Tips:
- If you want the flowers more “puffy,” use puff stitches or popcorn stitches instead of regular petals.
- This motif can be used for table doilies, blankets, pillow covers, or decorative wall art.

🌿 Green Stems (Surface Crochet or Chain Attach)
- Using green yarn, insert the hook between stitches at the base of Round 2 (blue ring).
- Ch 18. (This forms the stem.)
- Sl st into a stitch on the white edge (Round 6).
- Optional: Slip stitch back down along the chain to make the stem thicker.
- Repeat this process evenly around the circle (8 stems works well).
🌼 3D Flowers (at the end of each stem)
For each stem tip:
- Attach blue or yellow yarn at the top.
- Ch 1 to secure.
- (Petal 1):
- Ch 3, 2 dc in same st, ch 3, sl st in same st.
- Repeat this 5 times total in the same stitch to make 5 petals.
- Tighten center, fasten off, weave ends.
✨ Optional: To make the petals more puffed — replace “2 dc” with “2 puff stitches” or “popcorn stitches”.
🧵 Finishing
- Weave in all yarn ends with a tapestry needle.
- Lightly steam block or wet block the piece to flatten the white base and shape flowers beautifully.
✅ Stitch Count Summary
| Round | Color | Stitch Type | Total Stitches |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Yellow | dc | 12 |
| 2 | Blue | 2 dc in each st | 24 |
| 3 | White | 2 dc + 1 dc repeat | 36 |
| 4 | White | 2 dc + 2 dc repeat | 48 |
| 5 | White | 2 dc + 3 dc repeat | 60 |
| 6 | White | 2 dc + 4 dc repeat | 72 |
🪻 Pro Tip: For extra neat stems, use surface slip stitching instead of chaining first. It gives a clean “drawn-on” stem look.
