SAMPLE
19 sts + 19 rows = approx. 4 in. (10 cm) in the Puff Stitch knitted pattern from Rows 1-5.
BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR SAMPLE.
EXPLANATION OF THE POINT
👀 Puff (3-hp puff – worked all in one st) Yarn over, insert hook into indicated st, yarn over and yarn over, (yarn over, insert hook into same st, yarn over yarn and pull out a loop) twice, pull the thread through, pull through the 7 loops on the hook.
GRADES
👀 The case is worked in one piece, then folded and joined. A loop for the button is worked directly into the case.
👀 The panel is worked back and forth in rows from the top edge of the front, down to the base, and then up to the top edge of the back.
👀 The thread color is changed on each front row following the Front Stripe Sequence. The base is worked with A only. The thread color is changed in each back row following the Back Stripe Sequence.
👀 To change the thread color, work the last st of the previous color until the last step of the thread. Thread the yarn with the new color and pull through all the loops on the hook to complete the st. Continue with the new color. Do not cut the previous color until instructed. Carefully carry the colors you are not using along the sides of the piece.
👀 When instructed to work in a st “2 rows down”, work in the st indicated in the row that is numbered 2 less than the row currently being made. For example, if you are working Row 3, a “2 rows down” st is on Row 3 – 2 = Row 1.
