How to Crochet a Hat in Puff Stitch

Hi there guys, 

I have just uploaded a new video on How to Crochet a Hat in the Puff Stitch.  I really enjoyed crocheting it and hope you have fun trying out the hat as well.  If you have any problems let me know.  The pattern is as follows (p.s. I am learning to write out patterns as it is easy to create something but different writing it out on a piece of paper! lol).  To watch this video just click on the link.



PUFF STITCH HAT

Sc = single crochet,  Dc = double crochet,  Sp = space,  Tr = treble,  
St = stitch, Ch = chain,  * * = work all in between the stars,  Tog = together,  yo = yarn over

Puff Stitch = wrap yarn over hook, insert hook into st, bring up a loop, wrap yarn around hook, insert hook into st, bring up a loop, wrap yarn around hook, insert hook into stitch, bring up a loop,  wrap yarn around hook and pull through all the loops  (x3) all in the same stitch unless shown otherwise.

Caron Simply Soft Party  Hook size 5.5mm




1.     Ch3, ss into 1st chain to make a ring

2.     12sc into the ring

3.     Ss into 1st sc,  ch1,  Puff St in same st, 11  more puff stitches in each sc = 12 puff stitches

4.     Ss in the 1st puff st, ch1, 1 puff st in same place, 2 puff st in the next st, 1 puff st in the next st, 2 puff st in next st and 1 puff in next st, keep doing this till you have 18 puff stitches

5.     Ss in stitch (before the puff), ch1,* 1 puff st in next st, 1 puff st in next st, 2 puff st in next st* do this until you have 24 puff st

9.     Ss in 1st st, ch1,  1 puff stitch in each st = 42 puff st

10.      Same as row 9 until you have the length as you want it.

11.        Ch1,  Reverse Sc all the way around, 1sc in each sc, finish row by a ss and bringing yarn through stitch.
