How to Crochet The Jasmine Stitch Photo Tutorial

The crochet jasmine stitch is made with clusters of puff stitches. Once you’ve worked a few rows they’re grouped to resemble the jasmine flower.

The beauty of this stitch is that it’s a reversible stitch. It looks the same on both the right side and wrong side of your work.
