Imagine a warm summer evening, sitting on your porch (or your favorite spot) with a crochet project and the amazing light of this jar cozy\u2026 This jar cozy features the blocked puff stitch, one of my favorite stitches which I’ve used for a summer scarf<\/a>, triangle shawl<\/a> and potholder<\/a>. I’ve used Katia Seacell Cotton<\/em>, a yarn composed of 100% biodegradable matter and seaweed which are collected in a sustainable manner. Scroll down for my free photo and video tutorial<\/strong> of the Blocked Puff Stitch Jar Cozy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Blocked Puff Stitches<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Blocked Puff stitches (BPS) are a variation of puff stitches and have a more open structure. Other alternatives are staggered, stacked, zigzag and braided puff stitches. Even though it is not a difficult stitch, you might have to practice getting the right tension. On my blog you can find a detailed photo and video tutorial<\/a> of this stitch. Below you can find my free pattern<\/strong> to make a Jar Cozy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
