How to Crochet the Drop Puff Crochet Stitch Photo Tutorial

This stitch has such a unique look and texture – and is really fun to make!

For this stitch you are dropping your puff stitch into a previous row. The best thing about how this stitch is worked is that it looks basically the same from front or back – no wrong side with this stitch! Perfect for blankets!

Abbreviations:

ch = chain

sc = single crochet

dc = double crochet

st = stitch

Special Stitches:

Drop Puff Stitch: *yo, insert hook into base of next dc st, yo, pull up a loop,* repeat between * * 3 times (9 loops on hook), yo, pull through 8 loops, yo, pull through remaining 2 loops.

Multiples: stitch is worked in multiples of 4 for the foundation chain

For sample shown I am chaining a total of 28

Row 1: 1 sc in 2nd ch from hook, 1 sc in each of the remaining chains to end. Turn. (27)

Row 2: ch 3 (counts as 1st st), 1 dc in each st to end. (27)

Row 3: ch 3, dc in next 2 st, *1 Drop Puff Stitch (see special stitches section above) in next st (base of next dc st), dc in next 3 st,* repeat between * * to end. Turn.
