Pattern Instructions
Part 1: The Puff Flower
Round 1: The Base (Center Circle)
- 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.
- 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.
- Close the Magic Ring:
- Pull the tail of the Magic Ring tightly to close the center.
- 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.
- Begin with a Chain 4:
- Yarn over, pull through the loop on your hook. Repeat 4 times to make Chain 4.
- 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).
- Work 3 unfinished dc into the same stitch as the chains (previous round's first stitch):
- 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).
- Close the Petal:
- Yarn over and pull it through all 7 loops on your hook to close the petal.
- Chain 4 to Complete the Petal:
- Yarn over, pull through the loop on your hook. Repeat 4 times to Chain 4.
- Attach the Petal to the Center:
- Make a slip stitch into the base stitch (the first stitch where your petals originate).
- 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.
- 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)
- Start with a Slip Knot:
- Create a slip knot and attach your yarn to the hook.

- Chain 2 to Complete:
- Chain 2 and slip stitch into the first chain to secure.
- Fasten Off:
- Leave a long tail for attaching the pom-pom to the flower.
- 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
- Make Additional Flowers:
- Depending on your mirror size, crochet multiple puff flowers. A small round mirror typically requires 15 flowers.
- Arrange Flowers:
- Before using glue, position the flowers around the edge of the mirror to ensure they fit evenly. Adjust spacing as needed.
- 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
