Crochet Handmade Puff Flowers

The video tutorial provides step-by-step instructions for creating both small and large crochet flowers. Starting with a slip knot and forming petals using puff stitches, viewers learn how to create intricate floral designs with centers in contrasting colors. A bonus tip explains how to enhance the back of the flower for a polished finish, ensuring professional-quality results.

Making the Small Flower

Begin with a slip knot and crochet a foundation circle.
Work single crochets into the center of the circle to form the base.
Create puff petals using multiple double crochets worked together in a single stitch.
Chain in between petals to create spacing, and repeat the pattern until five petals are completed.
Once the petals are finished, cut off and weave in excess yarn to tidy the piece.
Tighten the center and adjust the petals to make them puffier.
Use a contrasting color for the flower center, creating a smaller circle with single or double crochets.
Hide the excess yarn and stuff the center before attaching it to the petals.

Making the Large Flower

Begin with a slip knot and create a foundation circle, similar to the small flower.
Use taller stitches (treble crochets) to form puff petals for the larger design.
Add additional chains between petals to enhance the size and spacing.
Repeat the pattern to create five petals, finish off, and weave in loose ends.
Create the flower center in a contrasting color, similar to the small flower but with more stitches for better proportion.

Crocheting the Leaves

Use a 20 cm craft wire folded in half as the base of the leaf.
Begin crocheting with a slip knot and chain stitches, wrapping the yarn over the wire for stability.
Work a combination of single crochets, half-double crochets, and double crochets along one side of the chain to shape the leaf.
At the tip, add extra stitches to create a rounded edge.
Mirror the stitch pattern on the other side of the chain to complete the leaf.
Finish by weaving in ends and ensure the wire stays securely wrapped.
Repeat the process to create two leaves for each flower.

Assembling the Flower

Attach the center of the flower to the petals using adhesive or stitching.
Secure the completed flower to a 4 cm floral stem, wrapping green yarn around the stem to cover it.
Attach the two leaves to the stem, positioning them evenly on either side.
Secure the ends of the green yarn to ensure no unraveling.

Optional Finishing Touch

For a polished look, add a back cover to the flower:
- Create a magic ring and work single crochets into the circle.
- Add a second round with two single crochets in each stitch to create a small disc.
- Attach the disc to the back of the flower to conceal loose ends.
