Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky yarn
• Hook: Size N/P (10 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 4 puff stitches x 4 rows = 4 inches

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a foundation chain in multiples of 4 plus 2 for turning. For example, if you want your blanket to be 40 inches wide, you could chain 82 (80 + 2).
2. Row 1:
   1. Skip the first chain from the hook.
   2. In the next chain, yarn over and insert your hook into the chain.
   3. Yarn over again and pull up a loop. You should have 2 loops on your hook.
   4. Repeat this process 3 more times in the same chain, giving you a total of 9 loops on your hook.
   5. Yarn over and pull through all 9 loops on your hook.
   6. To close the puff stitch, chain 1.
   7. Repeat this puff stitch process across the entire row, ending with a puff stitch in the last chain. Turn your work.
3. Row 2:
   1. Chain 2 (this counts as the first half of your next puff stitch).
   2. In the chain-1 space of each puff stitch from the previous row, work a puff stitch. This means you will yarn over, insert your hook into the chain-1 space, yarn over, pull up a loop, and repeat this process until you have 9 loops on your hook. Yarn over and pull through all loops, then chain 1 to close the puff stitch.
   3. Continue this across the entire row. Turn your work.
4. Repeat: Continue repeating Row 2 until your blanket reaches your desired length. This could be anywhere from 30 inches to 60 inches, depending on your preference.
5. Finishing: Once your blanket is the desired length, fasten off by cutting the yarn and pulling it through the last loop. Weave in any loose ends with a yarn needle for a clean finish.

Congratulations! You’ve just completed your very own Cozy Crochet Puff Stitch Blanket. Enjoy the warmth and comfort it brings!
