Zigzag Spike Puff Stitch | How to Crochet

The Zigzag Spike Puff Stitch is such a neat stitch, especially when worked in multiple colours as I will in the tutorial below. The pattern creates a very thick fabric that is solid and the same on both sides.

I will be using a little bit of Pima Cotton Yarn by Lion Brand in three different colours. Here you will also see my using a 5 mm Birchwood crochet hook by Rowan Yarn.

So many options for this stitch - hot pads and pot holders, bags, coffee cozy, and even a toasty wool afghan.... very warm for this winter.

Thank you :)

[@LucretiaVanPelt]

Beautiful 😍

[@catherinerivas7498]

Beautiful stich thank you

[@carolanderson5509]

I know it will lose some of the beautifulness but can this be done in one color, one skein? 🤔

[@carolinaromero5033]

Hermoso!! Muchas gracias 😊💕🌈🌸

[@ARTrzaska]

On the first row of single crochet stitches, should you have as many stitches as your chain? Example, you chained 14, will you have 14 single crochet?

[@tonnieam]

Could this be used for hats? It’s beautiful!

[@mariagalloso4080]

I would love to make a hat for my husband? Can it be done in rounds?

[@BluestemMemories]

I love this stitch. Which texture would you recommend for a fingering weight yarn scarf? Any experience appreciated.

[@Pammy_Yolo]

I love puff stitches but they're yarn eaters. Beautiful stitch though!

[@chrissyhirsch5203]

Would this work up nicely for a thick cowl?

[@mariavittoriameloni1055]

Bellissimo punto, per fare una copertina per neonati, quanti grammi di lana occorrono, grazie

[@sandrasmith4539]

Ok. I understand that you're using a cotton yarn. Is there a reason? Or is it doable for acrylic? Just wondering?

[@RichTexturesCrochet]

Hi Sandra! While I love the feeling on cotton (especially this Pima Cotton) I use it mostly in the stitches because it’s crisp and shows off the stitches so well :) I also love cotton because it’s hypoallergenic and renewable/natural (but will use acrylic for my blankets and you can certainly use it for this stitch :) )

[@susanamunmar4241]

I was thinking im a hat, but my trouble is about increase or decrease, it depends on where I have to begin the work . 🤔

[@favoritevids8869]

Is there a way to turn this into a hat?

[@doreeneverett4639]

Can this stitch be worked in the round?

[@elizabethg2062]

I made a big afghan with this stitch the other month and your comment really has me thinking! I think it probably could, as long as you have the right multiples for the foundation chain. I think or this could get tricky, but not impossible is figuring out how to accommodate the multiples for the foundation and the tension in combination with each other. The way I could see it working is by obv starting with chain st, then your sc rnd, then starting the diagonal stitches. Doing it in the round would impact the color changes too. It may be a good idea to use a stitch marker and to experiment with it, avoid making an item with increases and decreases that’ll affect your stitch count in each round. If you deviate from the stitch count in the round, the stitches won’t be pulled to the side like they should. I went into way too much detail as I was mulling it over in my head, but I hope this helps. It doesn’t hurt to test it out
