How to Floret Stitch in Crochet
I love a beautiful textured crochet stitch. I seem to be drawn to them. The Floret Stitch in Crochet is one of those beautiful textured crochet stitches. If you can chain, slip stitch, and double crochet stitch you can easily learn how to floret stitch in crochet! Ready to learn? Let’s grab a hook and some yarn and get crocheting.
Crochet Techniques Used in the Floret Stitch:
Materials Needed:
-Crochet hook of choice (I used a J (6.0mm) crochet hook for this tutorial)
-Yarn weight and color of choice (I used a medium weight – size 4 yarn for this tutorial)
How to Start the Floret Stitch in Crochet:
The Floret Stitch requires multiples of 2 + 3 for the start of the stitch. This is if you use a chain start. For Example, you could chain 15 to start. This would give you a row of 11 when completed.
This stitch could also start with a Foundation Double Crochet Stitch to start. If this option is chosen, if we wanted the same stitch count of 11, we would need to FDC 11 times. This start option eliminated the chain start AND also eliminates Row 1.
Again, if choosing to start the Floret Stitch with a Foundation Double Crochet Stitch, you will FDC the desired number of stitches and then skip to Row 2 for the Floret Stitch!
Row 1:
Place a Double Crochet stitch in the 4th chain from the hook.
Place one DC in each chain across. There should be an odd number of stitches at the end of the row.
Row 2 – How to Floret Stitch in Crochet:
To start, chain 1 and turn.
Place a Half Double Crochet stitch in the next stitch.
For the remainder of the row, alternate a (Sl St, HDC) until the last stitch. The row should end with a Slip Stitch.
Row 3:
To start this row, chain 3 and turn.
Place a DC in the 2nd stitch from the hook.
Put one DC in each remaining stitch across the row.
Remaining Rows:
For any remaining rows using the Floret Stitch will alternate Row 2 followed by Row 3.
For example: Row 4 = Row 2 repeat and Row 5 = Row 3 repeat.
And that is How to Floret Stitch in Crochet! I hope you found this tutorial helpful! Have a blessed day!
