In today’s lesson you’ll learn how to crochet the Bulky Puff Stitch! If you haven’t yet learned the basics go check out our first lesson on YouTube.
Lesson #1 will teach the ultimate basic step, HOW TO HOLD THE YARN AND CHAIN
For my learn to crochet series I will be using Super Bulky weight #6 yarn and a 9mm crochet hook. You can use any hook and yarn weight but I feel learning with a larger hook and weight yarn is easier. In today’s lesson we use the color Lazuli.
Yarn used in video series – Sugar Bush Yarns Chill
