I love crocheting the puff stitch and I am happy to bring this tutorial to help you learn how to crochet the puff stitch too!
One of the things I love about it is the flexibility and options! I can work it with 3, 4, 5 yarn overs and make it as subtle or as big as I want.
I also like that I can mix it in with other stitches, like in the Puff Stitch Chevron option. It is just endless the ways you can use this stitch in projects.
This stitch is also easy to work and once you get into the groove, is one that you can work while watching tv or hanging with your family. I love those kinds of stitches.
So, let’s get started learning the puff stitch.

Try the puff stitch with different yarn overs (3, 4, or 5) and see which size you like best or which fits your project. If you want a big puff, go for 5! This will increase the amount of yarn you need.
