Crochet Airy Puff Stitch
There are several variations of puff stitch, often based on the number of loops and the size of the puff stitch. The airy puff crochet stitch forms thick and fluffy double-sided bobbles, which can be used to create smaller motifs, work a row of puff stitches among other stitches, or crochet rows of the stitch to make a puff stitch fabric.
