The Pretty Puffs crochet stitch is a beautiful and elegant design featuring double crochet and puff stitches.
When I first came across this combination of stitches, by the look of it I assumed it was much more complicated than it was. It’s just so pretty!
The stitch is constructed very simply with a row of double crochet stitches followed by a row of puff stitches. By working the double crochet stitches in the back loop only, the pretty puff stitches are highlighted even more.
I look forward to using this stitch combination in a variety of projects, perhaps a bag or blanket!
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 worsted-weight yarn. You could also work this pattern in two or more colours. I will also be working with a 5 mm (H/8) crochet hook. In the video tutorial below you will see me working with a Birchwood Crochet Hook by Rowan. However, you may use any hook and yarn combination you choose.
Thank you so much for stopping by! If you enjoy the tutorial below, be sure to also check out some of the many other crochet stitch tutorials on my site and pin this for later! You may wish to start with the beautiful Textured Star Stitch Crochet Pattern.

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 solid 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 an odd number of stitches for your foundation chain.
For example, ch 31.
Row One:
Dc in the 4th ch from your hook, dc in each st across. Ch 1, turn.
Row Two:
Sc in the 1st st, *puff (See “Stitches and Abbreviations” above) in the next st, sc in the next st; Rpt from * across ending with an sc in the top of the turning ch. Ch 3, turn.
Row Three:
Working in the blo across, dc in the next st and in each st across to the final st, working under both loops, dc in the final st. Ch 1, turn.
And that’s it!
For the rest of the pattern simply repeat rows 2 and 3.
