Do you like lacy crochet stitches? If you do, you’re going to love this crochet lace flower stitch!
This flower lace crochet stitch is so delicate, and not as complicated as you would think.
The flower’s petals are made with the puff stitch, while the rest of the pattern consists of chains, single crochet, and double crochet to create the lace pattern.

How Do You Crochet a Floral Lace?
The main idea is to create a floral crochet lace pattern with a flower motif and work chains around it to create lacy and airy fabric.
In this crochet lace flower stitch, the flower’s petals are made using the puff stitch, where the lace pattern is created by making chains and double crochet stitches.
This stitch is a bit similar to a flower mesh crochet stitch, but denser.

What Can You Make With the Crochet Lace Flower Stitch?
This lacy crochet pattern will make a gorgeous crochet lacy scarf, and can also be made as a very impressive table runner, or as a decorative addition to a garment when creating a floral lace crochet pattern.
I used this lacy floral crochet stitch in the Diadem Bookmark, it’s a quick and fun project and a great gift for Teacher’s Day.
I also incorporated this stitch into my Flowers for Simone Shawl.
This shawl is worked from side to side, into a triangle shape. The flower lace pattern is worked in rows, increasing each row on one side of the shawl and decreasing on the other side creating โsteps”.
You can make the shawl as big as youโd like by repeating the main pattern.
You can find the free version on my blog, or get this PDF pattern on Ravelry and Etsy.
What Type of Yarn Should You Use For Crochet Lace Stitches?
I recommend using a thinner (Fingering, Sprot, DK weights) cotton yarn, preferable 100% cotton, or a fiber with a higher percentage of cotton.
Using cotton yarn will create the best stitch definition and will emphasize the flowers in this pattern.
For my tutorial, I used 100% mercerized cotton Sport (#2) yarn. I like this kind of cotton since it’s soft, but still sturdy enough, and got this nice shine to it.

So pretty and delicate!
Thank you so much Crystal!
I am making your puff stitch shawl, (I just finished row 2. a rectangular form. I printed off your pattern. I want to make it rectangular. I don’t see an “increase” in any of the following rows, so I can ignore it to continue to make it rectangular. can you help me to avoid “increasing” it? What row or rows are increasing? Thanks for teaching me a new stitch!
Hi Terri,
Are you making the Flowers for Simone Shawl? If so, the pattern is increased gradually each row.
If you want to make a rectangular shawl, you can use the stitch tutorial in this post to make the shawl as wide as you’d like and just follow the tutorial and repeat the pattern.
I hope it helps!
I am using the puff stitch pattern with 6 row instructions, and ( repeat rows 3-6.)
I must say, it is a great pattern! The reason I ask, is your disclaimer states ” this pattern is for a triangular shawl/scarf” that’s why I ask. Thank you!
Oh sorry for that, one of the paragraphs is talking about the Triangle shawl in the photo the uses this stitch.
I’m glad you enjoy the pattern!
I am using the lace flower stitch pattern.
I so love those amazing colours in this yarn. Great job I must say!
Thank you ๐

This was just what i was looking for! My only question is how do you decrease it thx ๐
Hi Queenie,
I haven’t tried decreasing this stitch, I do have a pattern that increase this stitch the Flowers for Simone Shawl.
So maybe try and use the same logic for decrease, omit an element (flower or 3dc) every 2 rows.
I hope it helps ๐
Agat
thanks a ton, i’ll check it out ๐
Hello, when it says repeat rows 4-6 is it supposed to say 3-6? Otherwise youโre going WS,RS,WS,WS,RS,WS,WS and so forth
Hi Nicki,
You are completely right!
I apologize for the mistake, it has now been fixed.
Thank you so much for letting me know.
Agat
Just used this to make a scarf for my mother-in-law. She loves flowers and I wanted a floral type pattern. It looks really pretty!
It sounds beautiful! That’s such a lovely gift for your MIL.
Thankyou souch for this beautiful pattern, and more so for teaching it free to everyone. Your video is wonderful. You’ve done a great job ! ๐๐ป
I’m so glad you found the pattern and video helpful! Thank you for sharing ๐
This is soooo beautiful. I love the video. I am going to make a straight scarf? Not sure what to call it. But, just a few repeats until I can wrap once. I love this stitch! Thanks for sharing. I tried to sign-up for the chart, but I guess I am not doing it right. It brings up a list of things I have saved and says I am signed up, but I can not access it.
I’m glad you like it, Melisa! A scarf will be so pretty with this stitch!
Thanks for letting me know about the diagram issue, I fixed it and you can view it now without signing up.
Happy crocheting, Agat
