Check out the photo and explanation below for a step-by-step tutorial of the puff stitch:

Wrap yarn around hook. Insert into the chain (if working the foundation row) or top of the stitch from puff of previous row (if working row 1) and draw up a loop.

You’ll now have 3 loops on your hook. Wrap yarn around hook and draw up a loop. You’ll now have 5 loops on your hook.

Wrap yarn around hook and draw up a loop. You’ll now have 7 loops on your hook.

Wrap yarn around hook one more time and pull through all 7 loops on your hook. Work the number of chains per the pattern (in this case 2) and you’re finished!

To finish and assemble, see below.

Finishing & Assembly

When you are finished crocheting your hat, you’ll have a tube. Turn the hat inside out, thread the remaining tail with a tapestry needle and whip stitch the top leaving an inch or so in between stitches. Slide the top of the hat together by pulling on the tail and sliding the hat to cinch the top and then tie a knot (or two) to secure. Weave in ends. Make a pom pom for the top with remaining yarn and tie to the top.
