Round 1: With yarn color A, make a mr, then sc x6.
After, make a sl st to the first sc but change the color to yarn color B when pulling through the stitch. (6). Fasten off yarn color A but leave about 18 inches of yarn for embroidering the center at the end.

🐌Expert Tips
- Tension Matters: Keep your tension consistent throughout the project to ensure your keychain has a neat and uniform appearance. If your stitches are too tight, your flower might become stiff.
- Use the Right Yarn: While any yarn will work, I recommend using a cotton or a medium-weight yarn (like worsted weight) for the best balance of durability and texture. Cotton yarn is especially great for keychains because it holds its shape well and has a nice, crisp finish. If you want a softer feel, you can also use acrylic yarn.
- Try Different Hooks: If you're new to crochet, experiment with a couple of different hook sizes to see which one gives you the best results. A hook that's too small for your yarn could make it hard to work through the stitches, while a hook that's too large may cause your flower to lose its shape. Generally, a 5.5mm to 6.0mm hook works well for most worsted weight yarns.
🧵Pattern FAQs
A crochet puff flower is a type of flower made using one of the many "puff stitches" in crochet, which creates a textured, raised effect. This stitch involves working several yarn loops into one stitch to form a puff, giving the flower a fluffy and dimensional look.
Yes, you can use any yarn for a crochet puff flower, but it's best to choose yarn that is sturdy enough to hold the shape of the flower. For keychains, cotton or acrylic yarn in a medium weight (worsted weight) is ideal, as it provides a good balance of texture and durability.
Yes, you can adjust the size of the puff flower by changing the yarn weight or hook size. Using thicker yarn and a larger hook will create a larger flower, while using thinner yarn and a smaller hook will result in a smaller flower. You can also adjust the number of petals or layers in the flower to make it bigger or smaller.
