Pattern Instructions

Part 1: The Puff Flower

Round 1: The Base (Center Circle)

  1. Start with a Magic Ring:
    • Wrap the yarn around two fingers to create a circle.
    • Insert the hook under the first yarn loop, grab the second loop, and pull it through. Twist the hook clockwise to secure.
    • Yarn over, pull through the loop, and adjust to form the Magic Ring.
  2. Make 10 sc into the magic ring:
    • Insert your hook into the ring and yarn over. Pull up a loop (2 loops on hook).
    • Yarn over again and pull through both loops (1 sc completed).
    • Repeat this process for a total of 10 sc.
  3. Close the Magic Ring:
    • Pull the tail of the Magic Ring tightly to close the center.
  4. Join to Complete the Circle:
    • Insert the hook into the first sc (both loops of the stitch).
    • Yarn over, pull through the stitch and the loop on your hook (slip stitch).
    • Pull the slip stitch tightly to secure.

Round 2: Puff Petals

Each puff petal is composed of two halves made of 3 unfinished double crochet stitches (dc) worked into consecutive stitches.

  1. Begin with a Chain 4:
    • Yarn over, pull through the loop on your hook. Repeat 4 times to make Chain 4.
  2. First Half of the Petal:
    • Work 3 unfinished dc into the same stitch as the chains (previous round's first stitch):
      • Yarn over, insert the hook into the stitch, and pull up a loop. Pull the loop up to the same height as the Chain 4.
      • Yarn over and pull through only the first 2 loops on your hook.
      • Repeat this process 2 more times into the same stitch (you will have 4 loops on your hook).
  3. Second Half of the Petal:
    • Work another 3 unfinished dc into the next stitch. Repeat the same process as above (you will now have 7 loops on your hook).
  4. Close the Petal:
    • Yarn over and pull it through all 7 loops on your hook to close the petal.
  5. Chain 4 to Complete the Petal:
    • Yarn over, pull through the loop on your hook. Repeat 4 times to Chain 4.
  6. Attach the Petal to the Center:
    • Make a slip stitch into the base stitch (the first stitch where your petals originate).
  7. Repeat for Remaining Petals:
    • Chain 4, work 3 unfinished dc in one stitch, another 3 unfinished dc in the next, pull through 7 loops. Chain 4, slip stitch into the base stitch to secure.
    • Repeat until the flower has 5 petals in total.
  8. Fasten Off:
    • After the final petal is complete, slip stitch and fasten off. Leave a tail for securing the pom-pom.

Part 2: The Pom-Pom (Center of the Flower)

  1. Start with a Slip Knot:
    • Create a slip knot and attach your yarn to the hook.
  2. Create Base Chain:
    • Chain 3.
  3. Work 3 Unfinished Double Crochet:
    • Work 3 unfinished dc into the first chain. Pull the loops tall to match the height of your chain.
  4. Close the Pom-Pom:
    • Yarn over and pull through all loops on the hook.
  5. Chain 2 to Complete:
    • Chain 2 and slip stitch into the first chain to secure.
  6. Fasten Off:
    • Leave a long tail for attaching the pom-pom to the flower.
  7. Attach the Pom-Pom to the Flower:
    • Use the tails to secure the pom-pom to the flower center. Tie the ends tightly at the back, then trim or weave in any extra tails.

Part 3: Assembly

  1. Make Additional Flowers:
    • Depending on your mirror size, crochet multiple puff flowers. A small round mirror typically requires 15 flowers.
  2. Arrange Flowers:
    • Before using glue, position the flowers around the edge of the mirror to ensure they fit evenly. Adjust spacing as needed.
  3. Glue the Flowers:
    • Apply a small amount of glue to the back of each flower and press it onto the mirror frame. Allow sufficient drying time for the glue to set securely.

Customization Suggestions

  • Keychain: Attach a metal keychain loop to the back of a single puff flower for a cute accessory.
  • Color Variations: Use different colors for each petal or multiple pom-poms for a colorful look.
  • Wall Hanging: Use matching yarn to attach multiple flowers into a garland for room decor.
