Double crochet puff stitch tutorial
Before I talk a bit more about my own experiments with this stitch, let’s run through how to complete the stitch using the double crochet stitch as a starting point.Selecting materials
All you need is yarn, a hook and some scissors. I chose a 100% acrylic DK yarn that’s nice and plump and gives good stitch definition. Puff stitch crochet also works well in wool/acrylic blends, silks, cottons and smooth wool yarns. When you first try the stitch, its probably best to steer clear of “fuzzy” yarns and fingering or sock weight yarns, just because its more difficult to see what you are doing and the effect you are creating.Make a foundation for a puff stitch swatch
When I’m playing with a stitch that’s new to me, I make a swatch by starting with 18 chains, then working one row of single crochet stitches and then a row of double crochet stitches. Here’s a quick tutorial:- Ch 18
- Work the first sc into the second chain from the hook, then work 16 more sc stitches to the end.
- Turn, make 3 chains (these count as your first dc).
- Make 16 more dc stitches, one in each of the sc stitches in the first row.
- Turn, make 3 chains and 1dc; your work should look like this:
