📌 YARN and PATTERN INFORMATION:
For my blanket (still a work in progress) I chained 124 (or 126) for an adult size lap blanket throw. I estimate it will take me approximately 6 balls of yarn (I will update exact amounts here once my blanket is finished!) ** UPDATE ** 5 BALLS OF YARN. 😂
Pattern multiple is 2
👉 Puff stitch steps: YO (Yarn Over), into stitch, YO, pull back through (3 loops on hook). YO, into stitch, pull back through (5 loops on hook). YO, into stitch, pull back through (7 loops on hook). YO, into stitch, pull back through (9 loops on hook). YO and pull through 8 loops (2 loops on hook) YO pull through remaining 2 loops.
Chain an even number, then work your first puff into the 4th chain from your hook.
Chain 1, skip a stitch, puff in next. Repeat until end.
ROW 2: Chain 3, turn, work puff into ch1 space from row below. Chain 1, skip next puff, work puff into ch1 space. Repeat the chain 1, skip, puff sequence until the end of the row, ending with a final puff stitch inbetween the puff from the row below and the 3 chains.
REPEAT ROW 2 FOR PATTERN.
Yarn used: Ice Yarn Magic Light, 5mm Hook.

🔥 Frequently Asked Questions:
Do you have a left handed version of this video? If you are left handed, you can convert ANY video on KZbin yourself! Simply go to www.mirrorthev... and follow the instructions to mirror flip any video to convert to left handed!
How much yarn will I need? This is a very tricky question to answer as there are so many variables! How much yarn you need will depend on which yarn you choose, the thickness of that yarn, your tension and how large you want your finished project to be. I suggest making a small sample first so you can gauge how much yarn you'll need. If making a crochet square, you can weigh your finished square to work out how much yarn it used!
How many squares do I need for a blanket? That all depends on the size of the square you are making and how big you want your finished blanket to be! I always advise making one square first then measuring the size of it. From there you can work out how many squares you will need to get the blanket size you want 😀
Do you have the written pattern? Yes! I have written patterns to accompany my video tutorials on my website here: www.hookedbyro... The written pattern is generally released a week or so after the video tutorial to ensure there are no errors in the video itself and to make amendments in the written version if any are found. All the written patterns are FREE to access on my website
How can I print the pattern from your website? Do you have downloadable PDF's? Not at this time no. This may change in the future but for now, I only provide the written pattern directly on my website.
Can you remake this video so it is slower? If the video speed is too fast, you can slow it down! 😀 See this video on exactly how: • How to Adjust the Spee...
Why do you use American stitch terminology? I learnt using USA stitch terms, long before I even knew there was a difference between UK & US terminology! American terms are my "first language" so to speak. If you need a conversion chart, I have one here! www.hookedbyro...

[@alanasweet4465]

Omg, Robin, i could cry..😭 when i get to the "4th yo, pull through" while making a puff, the stitches that are already sitting on a hook tighten and i am unable to pull the hook thru them without tightening them even more and the puff comes out looking shriveled up. 😭😭😭 how do you get the yarn to stay tall on the hook while pulling the rest of the puff's yo's onto it? I've done it over and over to try to figure out what goes wrong and it's as if that last 4th "yo-pull through" is too far for the hook and it ends up pulling the existing tall loops tighter and shorter.😭 please, help.😁🙏💖 *UPDATE*🎆🎉😁 So, i carefully got past the initial chain and the second row was an absolute breeze!! My fingers were still cramping from all the tension and suspense of the 1st row for a few minutes, omg 😂😂, but it's all good now!! And it's looking so puffy and even and just beautiful!!! Thanks for the tutorial, dear Robin!!!💖💖💖🧚‍♀️

[@HookedbyRobin]

So glad it is working out for you! The last couple of YO's will tighten up a bit but it's just a case of pull up as hiiiiiiiiiiigh as you can - it'll be plain sailing from here on out now you've got past that first row tho! :D x

[@FaerieDust]

OMG, I can not say thank you enough. I really appreciate the way you show and describe the steps.

[@alanasweet4465]

Dear Robin!!!! I just wanted to share my excitement when i worked this puff stitch into your hexagon pattern blanket!!! It looks Amazing!!!!!! I didnt stop after a few rows of that hexagon pattern, so it is just growing. So puffy!!! And i don't know what it is about hexagons, but ever since i saw that pattern on your channel, i cannot stop making things of that shape! 😂 Btw, a b aby blanket using fuzzy "nightmare yarn" came out just Perfect using your hexagon pattern!!! So, thank you endlessly and then some for the inspiration moments i have been filled with it seems like since i found you!!!!🧚‍♀️💖😻💝🎉

[@HookedbyRobin]

So funny you should say that! I have a puff hexagon blanket that I've been working on in the background for a couple of months now! 😂 I'm hoping to get it finished and released as an entire blanket (rather than just a motif) in the new year! Great minds think alike! Xx So glad you're having fun with the puff stitch, it's one of my absolute favourite stitches and hexagons rule! X

[@jonahdave5826]

Nice blanket and tutorial. But you are the only one I have ever heard say to "pull the yarn through all but the last loop on the hook" ! All the patterns I have ever read in 26 years say to pull through all the loops on the hook...it makes the top of the stitch look a bit different! Please don't take this as a complaint because it's not. You do a good job of explaining and I have watched many of your videos and enjoyed them 😊

[@HookedbyRobin]

In all honesty, I do both ways for puff stitches! On my gloves (here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3Otn3t_mbFjrMk ) I pull through all the loops at once which gives much more compact puffs - it all depends on the look I'm after really! I've found that this way (pulling through all but that last loop) gives lighter, slightly taller puffs which is perfect for something like a blanket 😄 X

[@karoljelbert346]

I have just the yarn for this, thank you....

[@vampirzii]

Now i finally found a way to get rid off all of my yarn sooner since i have endless amounts of it cause i cant control myslef when im at the yarn store despite how badly i want to get rid of my yarn by making it into things

[@roxirossetti6250]

Try Drops Air for the puff stitch - I am doing a cardigan in peacock and it is lovely and light - so squishy!

[@HookedbyRobin]

Just the name of that yarn sounds GORGEOUS 🥰

[@loominl6215]

I love this and so easy. Definitely making my mum one. I am in the UK and I wondered if you had a link for where you got your Ice yarn? Hope you don't mind me asking also what colour did you use?.😘😊🤗

[@HookedbyRobin]

I bought my Ice Yarn direct from their website in Turkey; I've had this in my stash for a few years now (left over from my mermaid tail making days) but I'll have a look see if I can find the colourway name for you 👍

[@HookedbyRobin]

Ok so I've had a look at the ball band and it's a nameless shade (so helpful LOL) but I've found it on their website: www.iceyarns.com/baby-yarns-magic-light-white-pink-orchid-multicolor-grey-black

It would work for heavier yarn yes (and yes, definitely use a larger hook) - it might work up heavy in weight though :-)

Can I ask how many loops should you have on your hook before pulling through?

Is there a written pattern for this puff stitch

[@loominl6215]

Please could you help me. I am making this blanket and I keep having the same problem. My first row looks fine when I do It and after my second row but after row three the bottom row puffs all go straggly with big loops. I have tried doing more rows to see if it does it further up but it doesn't they all look like they did when I did them. I have tried changing my tension but it still happens. I am using the same wool as you and the same size hook. Any ideas about what I am doing wrong? Thanks 😘😊🤗.

[@HookedbyRobin]

Hmmm that's odd 🤔 I wonder if maybe going down to a 4mm hook would sort that? Do you have naturally looser tension? I can be quite an angry tight crocheter at times hence why I go up a bit in hook size for my puffs

[@loominl6215]

@@HookedbyRobin I have very tight tension and like I said the rest of the puffs are perfect. I will try a smaller hook but I like the size of the puffs on 5mm.Thanks for your help I appreciate it.😘😊🤗
