Puff Stitch Pattern

 

Bethany Daily author of Loom Knitting for Little People, one of my Top Ten favorite books of patterns has written a Puff Stitch Pattern for the loom complete with stitch chart and a free pattern for an 8×8 square perfect for your next blanket.

This is the second stitch in a series the Knittingboard.com blog calls Stitchlogy. I love the look you get with this technique. I can’t help but think of two words Fun and Happy. I’ve had my eye on some winter gear that screamed for some puff. The designer truly came through with this one.

My Notes About the Stitch

 

Bethany made her square using the Authentic Knitting Board Adjustable Hat Loom on a small gauge setting. She also recommends the  The Sock Loom 2 or the All-n-One Loom . By-the-way, this manufacturer has really picked up some steam lately and their blog Knittingboard.com is stacked with great ideas. I have tried most of these looms and I am really happy. So far so good.

However, I used the Slim Jim (small pink long loom) from my Knifty Knitter set to make a swatch. I had left over baby yarn and so I decided I should knit with two strands of yarn as one . I was pretty happy with my results. But I will have to be honest about one thing…and I haven’t had time to try again to figure out what the heck happened but I had to turn my swatch on it’s back for my puffs to look right. As you can see my puffs are made up of Purl Stitches while the one made by Bethany is made up of Knit Stitches. I like them both – I just couldn’t get mine to work like hers yet. Stay-tuned for episode 2 of this mystery.

Try it out yourself and let me know how it went for you. Below is the link for the FREE pattern.
