Puff Stitch

Several loops drawn up and closed together, giving a soft raised pillow of yarn.

Definition

Yarn over and draw up a loop three or more times in the same stitch, then close all loops with one pull-through.

Overview

Puffs are softer and rounder than bobbles because the loops are never worked off individually — nothing locks them into a firm shape.

They eat yarn, so a puff blanket needs noticeably more than a plain one of the same size.

Characteristics

  • Soft raised texture
  • Yarn hungry
  • Best in smooth yarn

Typical uses

  • Baby blankets
  • Cushions
  • Beanies
  • Cowls
