Materials
Size K/6.50 mm crochet hook
4 ply yarn
Tapestry Needle

Definitions

Long First Loop - This is pulling the loop already on the hook, up about the height of a double crochet. I have found this technique blends the loops with the puff stitch, where a chain 3 will be visible.

Puff Stitch:
Wrap the yarn over your hook, insert the hook through the stitch or space. Wrap the yarn over the hook and pull through. There will be 3 loops on the hook.
Wrap the yarn over your hook. Insert the hook through the same stitch or space. Wrap the yarn over the hook and pull through. There will be 5 loops on the hook.
Wrap the yarn over your hook. Insert the hook through the same stitch or space. Wrap the yarn over the hook and pull through. There will be 7 loops on the hook.
Wrap the yarn over your hook. Insert the hook through the same stitch or space. Wrap the yarn over the hook and pull through. There will be 9 loops on the hook.
Wrap the yarn over your hook and pull the yarn through all 9 loops to complete the puff stitch.
Chain to secure.
The multiple for this stitch is 2. This means you will work an additional 2 chains for each extra puff stitch that you want to add to make your scarf wider. Subtract 2 chains to make it narrower.

Scarf Width: 7 inches/18 CM

Chain 18.
You can also replace the chain with 17 foundation single crochet.

Row 1: Make a long first loop(see definition above). Work the Puff Stitch in the first chain from the hook. *Skip a chain, work a Puff Stitch in the next chain. Continue across from * for a total of 9 Puff Stitches.
Note: There is not a chain 1 worked between each puff stitch. I found that made the row to wide.

Row 2: Make a long first loop(see definition above). Work the Puff Stitch in the top of the previous puff stitch. The hook will be worked through the top loop that joined the loops of the puff stitch on the previous row. Work a puff stitch in each stitch across for a total of 9 Puff Stitches.

Row 3-?: Repeat row two for the remainder of the length of the scarf.

This project can easily be adjusted in width to make an afghan.

[sephra510]

every time i try to do this scarf my puffs come out all weird looking slanted and not very neat and i have crochet for some time now what am i doing wrong

[tjw1963]

@sephra510 Is it possible you are missing stitches? Is your row count the same each row?

[hraa2003]

Omg need help how do I repair a afghan it is coming undone right in the center of it any ideas

[tjw1963]

@hraa2003 You will need to clean up, secure and knot each row that is coming apart. This will stop it from coming apart any further. You will need to fill in and re-crochet the stitches that are missing.

[Ambiguos3]

Because there is little controls over the yarn with this stitch I did 5 instead of 9. When you start off you want to have a very loose beginning chain so you can easily fit thru your puff stitch.

[tjw1963]

@Ambiguos3 Your beginning chain should not be tight. Not only will it make it difficult to work through your chain, it is the reason that many projects get wider as you work your project.

I can't pull my hook through the 9 stitches!!! it's all too tight, no matter how hard I try!! I can't get past my first puff stitch.. AAAHHHH!!

[LetiLaFlaca]

[Sharidgdak]

[Entlebucherlover]

Very interesting. The puff stitch is a new one for me. Will have to practice. I love your hook handle. What is it and where did you get it from?

[JJECKLE13]

This is cute thank you. This is my next project.

i had started to make this scarf and i'm at the fifth row already..but why does it getting smaller from the first row? Did u make a single CH after each puff?
