Materials Needed
- 100% cotton yarn
- 2mm crochet hook
- Scissors
- Tapestry needle
To begin, make a slip knot and chain eight. Form a circle with a slip stitch and begin working puff stitches into the center of the circle.
Each puff stitch involves pulling the yarn three times into the same space to create a textured, raised effect.
Repeat this process until 12 puff stitches are evenly made, closing the round with a slip stitch.
Transition to the next round with single crochets and picots by chaining three and working them into the chain spaces between the puff stitches.
This pattern alternates puff stitch rounds and picot-edged rounds to form a structured yet airy pattern.
The key to this pattern is maintaining consistent tension to ensure uniform stitches. Work gently on the puff stitches, pulling the yarn evenly to create a smooth texture.
Continue the pattern until the desired length is achieved, finishing with a neat edge. For extra flair, add a tassel by wrapping yarn around your fingers 25–30 times, securing it with a separate strand, and trimming it evenly.
