Puff Stitch

Yarn over, insert your hook into the stitch, and pull up a loop. Repeat [yarn over, insert your hook into the same stitch, and pull up a loop] three more times (you’ll have 9 loops on your hook).

Yarn over and pull through all 9 loops on the hook.

Tips

When working with two colors, crochet over the unused yarn to carry it along and keep the back tidy.

On color changes, pull through the final two loops of the double crochet with the new color for a smooth, seamless transition.

To adjust height, repeat the body rounds before the final sc round — this helps if you prefer a slouchier or snugger fit.
