Step 3: Crochet the Petals Using the Pouf Stitch
First Petal
Start with 3 Chains:
- Make 3 chains from the pistachio green yarn to begin the petal.
Unfinished Double Crochets:
- Yarn over, insert the hook into the first stitch, pull up a loop to match the height of the chain, yarn over again, and pull through only the first 2 loops.
- Repeat this process 3 times in the same stitch to form unfinished double crochets.
Move to the Next Stitch:
- Yarn over and insert the hook into the next stitch, repeating the unfinished double crochet process 3 times.
Finish the Pouf Stitch:

Chain 3:

Slip Stitch:

Repeat for Additional Petals

- Remember to pull the yarn loops evenly to maintain consistent petal size.
Step 4: Finish the Flower
Close the Flower:
- After completing the final petal, make a slip stitch into the starting stitch.
- Secure the work with a tight chain stitch and cut the yarn, leaving a tail to weave in later.
Hide Loose Ends:
