Crochet Pattern: Quick Puff Stitch Scarf
Good day, everyone! Today, I am sharing a scarf pattern that seems to be quite loved on Ravelry, a knitting forum that I frequent. This stunning pattern only has two special stitches, but the majority of the pattern is a simple double crochet stitch.
The completed project in the photo is crochet in Red Heart Super Saver Yarn, colorway Pool, for those who are interested in recreating the exact item. But please feel free to choose any color and yarn that you wish. As long as it is worsted weight yarn or larger, the scarf will be approximately 6 feet long or longer.
So, without further ado, let’s hop into today’s free pattern.
Materials Needed:
Worsted Weight (#4) Yarn
H- Hook (5 mm)
Stitches:
HDC — Half Double Crochet
Puff Stitch
Ch — Chain
DC — Double Crochet
Special Stitches:
Foundation HDC: Chain 2. YO and insert hook into the first chain/2nd chain from the hook. YO and pull up a loop. You should have three loops on your hook. YO and pull through the first loop only. This creates your “chain” stitch. YO and pull through the remaining loops on your hook. To make the next stitch (and all remaining stitches), YO and insert hook into the “chain” stitch you created in your previous HDC stitch. YO and pull up a loop. You should have three loops on your hook. YO and pull through the first loop only, then YO and pull through the remaining three loops on your hook.
Puff Stitch: Yarn over and insert the hook into the stitch where you are creating your puff stitch. Yarn over again and draw through. There will be three loops on the hook. Repeat four more times. Each time adds 2 more loops to the hook. There will be 11 loops on the hook for a 5 hdc puff stitch. Yarn over and pull through all loops on the hook.
