Pompom Stitch | How to Crochet

The Pompom Stitch is a type of lace design featuring pops of textured puff stitches throughout.

The stitch is a fairly open stitch as a combinations of chains and double crochet stitches form almost a trellis around the puff stitches.  Once the stitch pattern is established, the pattern is an easy to remember two row repeat.  I could see this stitch being used in a variety of projects including lacy cardigans and tops, market bags and shawls.

Materials for this Tutorial:

For this tutorial today I will be using a small amount of Pima Cotton Yarn by Lion Brand Yarn in a single colour. It is a worsted weight yarn. The hook shown in the video below is a 5 mm birchwood crochet hook by Rowan Yarns.  However you may use any hook and yarn combination you choose, even experiment with colour!
