A flower crochet jacket is more than just a cozy layer—it’s a bouquet you can wear. It blends craftsmanship, creativity, and elegance in every stitch.
Why We Love the Flower Crochet Jacket
There’s something magical about the flower crochet jacket. With delicate openwork petals, billowy sleeves, and rustic wooden buttons, it feels like nature and fashion are holding hands. Designed with the puff stitch to mimic blooming flowers, this piece balances structure and whimsy.
Perfect for in-between seasons, it’s breezy enough for spring and fall but warm when layered. Its airy pattern lets your outfit peek through, making it a stylish statement piece.
From lounging at home to brunch with friends, it brings effortless charm and comfort to any setting.
Materials You’ll Need
Choosing the right materials ensures both comfort and structure:
- Yarn: 600–800g of worsted-weight cotton or a cotton blend for breathability and stitch clarity
- Hook: 4.0mm crochet hook for creating those puff stitch flowers
- Buttons: 3–4 medium-sized wooden or coconut buttons
- Extras: Tapestry needle, sharp scissors, and stitch markers
Inside the Puff Stitch Flower
The puff stitch is the heart of this design, forming raised “petals” that create a continuous floral lace. Each flower is made of clusters of double and half-double crochets radiating from a central space, giving the jacket its soft, garden-inspired look.
While best for intermediate crocheters, adventurous beginners can absolutely join in—especially with Sirin’s step-by-step video guide.
How to Make It – Step-by-Step
1. Panels (Back + Front)
Start with three rectangular panels—one for the back, two for the front. Each panel is a grid of puff stitch flowers. Adjust the size by adding rows and columns.
Tip: Add a row of single crochets to neaten the naturally scalloped edge before assembling.
2. Sleeves
Create balloon-style sleeves with roomy shape and gathered cuffs. Use the flower stitch in rectangular panels, then sew the short ends into a tube. Decrease with single crochets at the wrist and finish with ribbed cuffs for a snug fit.
3. Assembly
Join the panels using a whip or slip stitch. Seam the shoulders and sides, then attach sleeves, matching the sleeve center with the shoulder seam. A yarn needle creates a seamless, polished finish.
4. Ribbed Edging
Add structure with ribbing at the collar and hem using front and back post double crochets. Work rows directly into panel edges, then secure.
5. Final Touch – Buttons
Wooden or coconut buttons complete the look. Carefully align buttonholes to avoid uneven closures. They enhance both form and function.
Styling Your Jacket
This jacket is a chameleon—perfectly adaptable to any look:
- Casual: Pair with high-waisted jeans and a tank
- Romantic: Throw over a slip dress
- Fall chic: Layer with a turtleneck and wide-leg pants
The slightly cropped fit and voluminous sleeves create a flattering silhouette. The lace allows your underlayer to show—try contrasting colors for visual interest.
Care Instructions
Treat your handmade piece with love:
- Hand wash in cold water with gentle detergent
- Press in a towel to remove moisture
- Lay flat to dry—avoid hanging to prevent stretching
Cotton and bamboo fibers may stretch slightly over time, enhancing the soft, lived-in look.

So grab your yarn, ready your hook, and let each flower bloom into a masterpiece.
