Crochet Boxed Puff Stitch Tutorial + Video
Boxed Puff Stitch – Pattern Description
The Boxed Puff Stitch is a variation of the classic stitch with the same name, where the puff stitches are alternated with double crochet stitches that “enclose” them and give them the boxed look.
It works great for baby afghans, modern blankets, cardigans, and other wearables.
This is an easy two-row repeat pattern, perfect for beginner crocheters who are looking for a simple pattern with an intricate design.
