The Climbing Puffs Stitch crochet pattern is a beautiful, reversible design that is worked as only a one row repeat!
It’s does take a couple of rows, however, to get the pattern set up!
I love this puff stitch pattern. Puff stitches are a great way to add texture and warmth to a pattern. They look so cozy!
The puff stitches in this Climbing Puff Stitch crochet pattern can be seen zigzagging vertically up the pattern. They are easy to work and paired with basic double crochet stitches.
The Materials:
For this tutorial today, I will be using a small amount of Heatherly by KnitPicks and WeCrochet in a single colour. It is a medium/worsted weight yarn that is a wool blend. Along with my worsted weight yarn, I will also be working with a 5 mm (H/8) crochet hook.

Pattern Notes:
This stitch is worked in rows in this tutorial and it may be worked in one colour or many. I will be working this pattern in a single colour.
This pattern is written in American crochet terms.
To begin, make a slip knot and make a foundation chain. For this stitch, you will need a multiple of six, plus five stitches (6 + 5) for your foundation chain.
For example, ch 23.
Row One:
Dc in the 4th ch from your hook (starting ch-3 always counts as a dc st) and in each of the next 3 sts, ch 1, sk the next st, *dc in each of the next 5 sts, ch 1, sk the next st; Rpt from * across until 3 sts remain, dc in each of the final 3 sts. Ch 3, turn.
Row Two:
Dc in each of the next 2 sts, dc in the ch-1 sp, dc in the next st, puff in the previous ch-1 sp, *sk the next st, dc in each of the next 3 sts, dc in the next ch 1 sp, dc in the next st, puff in the previous ch-1 sp; Rpt from * across until 4 sts remain, sk the next st, dc in each of the final 3 sts. Ch 3, turn.
Row Three:
Dc in each of the next 4 sts, *work a puff stitch reaching down into the space between the 2 sts immediately before the puff stitch in the row below, sk the next st, dc in each of the next 5 sts; Rpt from * across ending with a dc in each of the final 3 sts. Ch 3, turn.
And that’s it!
For the rest of the pattern simply repeat row 3. Fasten off, weave in your ends.
This is awesome and beautiful!?????? Thanks for sharing this pattern and tutorial.
I realize that the number of balls/skeins of yarn required for making something with this Stitch depends on the size of blanket (or scarf, etc.) you are making and PUFF STITCHES ARE HUGE YARN-EATERS! BUT… it would be great to have a general idea of how much yarn is needed even IF only for a small baby blanket. One could multiply the size of the baby blanket to guesstimate yarn quantity for a larger sized blanket. I’ll search your website and other places for a reference and if I can’t find a reference for it, I’ll figure it out the old fashioned way… by trial and error! ?
Anyway… this IS a beautiful pattern and it will make a nice, warm, scarf or blanket for someone special. Thanks again and I wish you a very happy holiday season!
PS – the question marks in my 1st comment are supposed to be heart and smiley face emojis but the website converted it to “???’s” so it looks weird and I cannot edit it out. LOL
