If you love the Popcorn Stitch and Bobble Stitch, you’ll definitely love the Puff Stitch! This fluffy\u00a0crochet stitch is made by pulling up many loops, varying from 7 to 11 loops. It creates a beautiful texture and can be used for many projects such as hats, shawls, bags, blankets, potholders.. In this tutorial I’ll show you how to make the puff stitch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Puff stitches<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The abbreviation is usually Puff<\/strong> or Ps<\/strong>. Puff stitches are a variation of half double crochet stitches. Instead of completing the HDC as usual, you’ll have to pull up a few more loops in the same stitch. The stitch is then finished by pulling yarn through all loops on the hook. This results in a beautiful ‘puffy’ stitch. Even though it is not a difficult stitch, you might have to practice with getting the right tension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How many loops?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Usually a puff stitch is made by pulling up loops for a total of 3 times (7 loops on your hook). However, each pattern will tell you how many loops you’ll need to pull up for that specific project. This often varies between 3 and 5 times (=11 loops). The more loops you need to pull up, the more yarn you’ll need, and the puffier the stitch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Variations of the puff stitch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are many variations of the puff stitch. Normal puff stitches are worked under both loops of a stitch. Sometimes a pattern will tell you to work in a chain space or puff stitch. You can also make staggered, stacked, zigzag and braided rows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
