Can you believe January is over? It is crazy for me to think about, but I am very happy about it because it means that I am that much closer to moving to the Bay Area!!! EEEEKKK! I am so excited for so many reasons!
Well I don't know if you have noticed yet, but I am crazy for puff stitches lately. This pattern will solidify my craziness for puff! I hope you all enjoy.
I am not giving this gray slouch away! It is all mine!
Materials Needed:
5.0mm crochet hook
2-3 oz of worsted weight yarn (Photos feature Red Heart)
scissors
large needle
Abbreviations:
ch - chain
sl st - slip stitch
sc - single crochet
hdc - half double crochet
PS - Puff Stitch
VPS - (PS, ch1, PS, ch1) in same space
Pattern Note:
This pattern is easily worked with one or two colors.
I am working this pattern with two colors so that the stitches are easier to see in photos. If you would like to work with two colors, pull the new color through the last sl st of the row. I carried both color up the inside of the beanie, so that there was less ends to weave in.
Pattern:
ch 3, sl st into first ch to form ring
Row 1: ch 2, *PS, ch 1* repeat 6 times, sl st to first PS (7 PS and 7 ch 1 spaces)
Row 2: sl st into first ch 1 sp, ch 1, (hdc, ch 1, hdc, ch 1) and in each ch 1 sp around, sl st into first hdc (14 hdc and 14 ch 1 spaces)
