How to Crochet Puff Stitch

Tutorial Overview

Puff stitches can be created with a varying amount of loops. The more yarn overs, or loops, you have on your hook before you complete the stitch, the chunkier your puff stitch will be. Follow the instructions in your pattern carefully as these can vary depending on the yarn chosen, hook size used, and desired effect.
