About the Crossed Puff Stitch

The Crossed Puff Stitch features puff stitches that cross over each other slightly, creating a textured pattern that stands out from the fabric. It’s a wonderful stitch for sampler blankets because it adds visual interest without being overly complicated once you understand the repeat.

Why you’ll love this stitch:

• 🌸 Soft, raised texture from puff stitches
• ✨ Beautiful crossed pattern across the fabric
• 🧶 Adds depth and dimension to the blanket
• 💕 Great balance between decorative and cozy

This stitch adds another layer of texture to our crochet garden, helping each section of the blanket feel unique.

Scrapghan Tips

· This blanket will use different hook sizes depending on the stitch. Some stitches work up tighter than others. Even with changing hook sizes, the blanket will not have completely straight edges.

· Feel free to adjust your hook size according to how you crochet.

· This blanket requires a foundation row that is a multiple of 24 + 2.

· The starting chain requirement for this particular stitch is given in the pattern notes (this may or may not match what was used for the entire blanket). This is just a note given for use of this stitch in other projects, not for this blanket.

· Each part starts over at row 1 of that stitch. Be sure to place a stitch marker and the last stitch of each part to mark where the next part begins.
