Crochet Puffy Flower Hair Tie Tutorial
Skill Level: Intermediate. The pattern to create the layered petals is very clever, as you will be working in the flat rows starting with the chain. Then, in the second row, using the shell stitch (double crochet five cluster) make the petals. Then changing the color to green, using stitches from basic stitches, the leaves. Then, with safety pins and a sewing needle, bring the layers in place.
Other stitches (single crochet, chain stitch, half-double crochet, double crochet, slip stitch, and more).
Tutorial Timing: Approximately 14 minutes only. (Perfect for learning the popular and clever flat-to-layer crochet technique and practicing the basic shell stitch.)
Personalization Tips: Continue crocheting the repetitive shell stitch and a leaf pattern until you get enough length, and thus, the layers for the shell. However, the pattern is designed to make the five leaves look like a star motif from behind. The pink and purple combo is famous!
Pattern Type: The on-screen written pattern is available if you find written instructions easy to follow along with.
Supplies Needed

Techniques and Stitches
Learn the following crochet stitches that the tutor uses for crocheting this flower hair tie:
- Shell Stitch (Double Crochet Five Cluster): Work 5 double crochet (dc) stitches into the same base stitch or chain space to create the petal shape. This stitch forms the rounded, petal-like clusters that give the design its floral appearance.
- Chain Stitch (ch): Yarn over and pull through the loop on the hook to form a chain. Chains create the foundation row and provide a base for other stitches.
- Double Crochet (dc): Yarn over, insert the hook into the stitch, pull through, yarn over, pull through two loops, yarn over, and pull through the remaining two loops. Double crochet adds height and openness to the petals.
- Single Crochet (sc): Insert the hook into the stitch, yarn over, pull through, yarn over again, and pull through both loops on the hook. Single crochet stitches are compact and neat, ideal for the base or edges of the leaves.
- Slip Stitch (sl st): Insert the hook into the stitch, yarn over, and pull through both the stitch and the loop on the hook. This stitch is used to join sections or transition smoothly to the next part of the design.
- Color Changing: At the end of a row, drop the current yarn color, pick up the new color, and pull it through the last stitch to continue working with the new color. This technique is used to transition cleanly when switching from the petal color to the green leaf color.
