Puff Stitch

Most magazines or patterns will explain how to make popcorn stitches.  However, for learning purposes and buidling your confidence in reading those confusing patterns, I will explain the basics of the popcorn stitch.  Please remember, it varies according to instruction.

We will use the double crochet so you can see it better.

Begin by making one double, but don't do the last draw through.  Keep the last 2 loops on your needle.

Make a double in the SAME chain stitch as the first double and remember, don't knock off the last 2 loops.

You should have 4 loops on your needle now.

Repeat the same thing, double in the same stitch and keep the last 2 loops.

You should have 6 loops on your needle.

Now, YO and draw through all the loops.

Make sure it is tight.  They have a tendency to wiggle free.
If it's puffy, you did it right!!:)
