Textured Crochet Floral Motif Pattern (Chart + Written Instructions)

Introduction (H2)

This textured crochet floral motif features a beautifully raised surface created with puff stitches and open chain spaces. The symmetrical, snowflake-inspired shape makes it a versatile design that works well for both decorative and functional crochet projects.

The motif is worked in the round using standard US crochet terms and follows a clear stitch chart alongside written instructions. It is ideal for crocheters who enjoy working with charts and textured stitches while still keeping the pattern repetitive and relaxing. With the right yarn choice, the stitch definition stands out clearly, giving the finished piece a clean and professional look.

This crochet floral motif can be used on its own or joined with multiple motifs to create larger projects. From blankets and table runners to wall décor and cushion covers, this design adapts easily to many creative ideas.

Skill Level (H2)

Intermediate. This pattern uses puff stitches, chain spaces, and chart reading.

Materials Required (H2)

• Medium (DK) cotton yarn for best stitch definition

• Crochet hook: 4 mm or 5 mm

• Scissors

• Yarn needle for weaving in ends

Cotton yarn is recommended because it holds shape well and highlights the raised texture of the puff stitches. You may substitute other yarn types, keeping in mind that the final texture may vary.

Crochet Stitch Abbreviations (US Terms) (H2)

• ch – chain

• sl st – slip stitch

• sc – single crochet

• dc – double crochet

• puff – puff stitch  (yarn over and pull up loops 5 times, then yarn over and pull through all loops)

How to Read the Crochet Chart (H2)

This motif is created by following a stitch diagram worked in rounds from the center outward. Each symbol in the chart represents a specific stitch:

• Oval shapes indicate puff stitches

• Small circles or dots represent chain stitches

• “X” symbols indicate single crochet stitches

• Joined loops show slip stitch joins

Always complete each round before moving to the next, joining with a slip stitch where indicated.

Crochet Motif Pattern (Chart + Written Instructions) (H2)

Round 1 : Center Ring (H3)

Create a magic ring. Chain 3 (counts as the first double crochet), then work 11 double crochet stitches into the ring. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain. You should have 12 double crochet stitches.

Round 2 : Puff Stitch Round (H3)

Chain 2. Work a puff stitch into the next stitch, then chain 2. Repeat this sequence around the entire round. Join with a slip stitch into the first puff stitch. This round creates the raised texture that defines the motif.

Round 3 : Open Chain Spaces (H3)

Slip stitch into the next chain-2 space. Chain 5, then single crochet into the next chain-2 space. Repeat around the motif and join with a slip stitch. This round adds openness and contrast to the textured stitches.

Round 4 : Large Floral Petals (H3)

In each chain-5 space, work the following sequence: puff stitch, chain 1, puff stitch. Chain 2 between each petal group. Join the round with a slip stitch. The motif will now begin to take on its floral shape.

Round 5 : Pointed Edges (H3)

Slip stitch into the center of the next petal group. Chain 4, single crochet to secure, then chain 4 again to form a point. Repeat evenly around the motif to create eight pointed edges. Fasten off and weave in all loose ends.

Finished Size (H2)

The finished size of the motif depends on yarn weight and hook size. Using medium cotton yarn and a 4–5 mm hook, the motif measures approximately 12–14 cm across. Adjust hook size to make the motif larger or smaller without changing the pattern.

Uses for This Crochet Motif (H2)

This crochet floral motif can be used in many creative ways:

• Joined together for blankets or throws

• As individual coasters or doilies

• Table runners and placemats

• Cushion covers or decorative panels

• Wall hangings and handmade gifts

Because of its symmetrical shape, it joins neatly with other motifs and works well in repeating patterns.

Frequently Asked Questions (H2)

Is this crochet motif beginner friendly?

This pattern is best suited for intermediate crocheters. Beginners may attempt it if they are comfortable with basic stitches and following a crochet chart.

What yarn works best for this pattern?

Cotton yarn is ideal because it provides crisp stitch definition and maintains the motif’s shape. Acrylic yarn can also be used, though the texture may appear softer.

Can I change the size of the motif?

Yes. Changing the yarn weight or hook size will adjust the finished size while keeping the same stitch structure.

Is this motif worked in rows or rounds?

The motif is worked entirely in rounds, starting from the center and building outward.

Should I block the finished motif?

Blocking is optional but recommended. Light blocking helps open the chain spaces and enhances the overall symmetry of the motif.
