I’m ALL about stitches with texture and therefore the Floret Stitch is an absolute favourite of mine. There’s just something so wonderfully tactile about running your fingers over a stitch with some oomph. The Floret Stitch is a quick and easy way to add a beautiful texture, but without being too complicated, so it’s suitable for all skill levels! Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, you can use this stitch to add some terrific texture to your blankets, cushions, scarves and cowls. 
what will I learn?
In this blog, I have shared everything you need to know to complete the Floret stitch. There’s a list of tools and materials, terms and abbreviations and pattern notes to help you get started. With this blog, you can learn to crochet the floret stitch using the written pattern provided and step by step video tutorial. I have also included some other surface texture stitches to learn and some project inspiration from our Homeware Collection.
tools & materials
- Yarn: Any yarn can be used for the Floret stitch, however I used Paintbox Simply Aran in the video tutorial.
- Hook: I used a 5mm hook in the video tutorial as that was suitable for my yarn. Always check your yarn band for information on which hook you should be using with the yarn you have chosen.
- Darning Needle
- Scissors
pattern notes
- Written in UK terms

- Treble Crochet(s): tr(s): Yarn over, insert into stitch, yarn over, pull up a loop, you will then have three loops on the hook. Yarn over, pull through two loops, yarn over, pull through remaining two loops.
Unsure of the differences between UK and US terms? Need a refresher on how to do your stitches?

more textured surface stitches to try
I absolutely ADORE stitches that add texture. While I love colour, texture will always have my heart. There’s just something deliciously cosy about that soft squish you get when touching a textured piece of crochet.
moss/linen stitch
The comforting cosy texture of the moss stitch is perfect for winter garments, blankets and borders for blankets. This is a great stitch for beginners as it only requires double crochet.
spider stitch
This sturdy versatile stitch is another great beginner friendly surface texture stitch to get your hook into. It is only a one row repeat, so once you’ve got to grips with it, you’ll be well away!
herringbone treble
Another gorgeous cosy stitch is the Herringbone Treble stitch. This has some beautiful detail and is really tactile in a chunkier yarn. It’s great for projects that need a little weight to them such as a blanket or cushion as it makes a warm and dense fabric.
feathered crochet
A great stitch for cowls and blankets is the feathered stitch as it looks great on both sides! This cosy dense stitch makes a dense and squishy fabric and is an easy one row repeat, perfect for beginners.
project inspiration
Looking for a project now you’ve mastered those gorgeous textured stitches? Our Homeware Collection has loads of lovely projects in you can adorn your home with, including the fabulous weighty cosy Briar Blanket.
