This PDF pattern includes step-by-step photos and instructions to help you create perfectly shaped, layered crochet flowers. Whether you're a beginner or just looking for a quick make, this pattern is as easy as it is adorable!

🧵 Tiny Details that Pop – A Closer Look

The layered petals create a sweet 3D effect that’s just enough to make these flowers stand out without overwhelming your project. I love how the center puff stitch adds a soft, plushy texture, while the edges keep it crisp 🌼

📌 Materials You’ll Need

• Cotton or acrylic yarn (small leftover balls are perfect!)
• 2.5 mm or 3 mm crochet hook
• Scissors + yarn needle

I used pastel colors, but these are stunning in brights and neons too! Go wild 🌈

🪡 Techniques You’ll Practice

• Magic Ring – for a seamless center
• Single Crochet (sc) – base rows
• Double Crochet (dc) – for the petal shaping
• Puff Stitch – adds fullness to the flower center

Even if you’ve never done a puff stitch before, I promise you’ll love how easy it becomes with this pattern!

✨ My Hand Trendy Tips
