Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn
• Hook: 5.5 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 4 puff stitches x 4 rows = 4 inches

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Begin with a foundation chain of 60 stitches (or adjust to fit your head circumference). Make sure to join with a slip stitch to form a ring, being careful not to twist the chain.
2. Round 1: Chain 1, then work 1 single crochet in each chain around. After completing the round, join with a slip stitch to the first single crochet to close the round.
3. Round 2: Chain 2 (this counts as the first half of the puff stitch). Now, *yarn over, insert your hook into the next stitch, yarn over and pull up a loop (you should have 3 loops on your hook), yarn over again, insert your hook into the same stitch, yarn over and pull up another loop (you should have 5 loops on your hook). Yarn over and pull through all loops on your hook, then chain 1 to close the puff stitch. Repeat from * around the entire round. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the first puff stitch to close the round.
4. Rounds 3-6: Repeat Round 2 for a total of 4 rounds of puff stitches. This will create a lovely textured look.
5. Round 7: Chain 1, then work 1 single crochet in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch to the first single crochet to close the round.
6. Finishing: Fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends with a yarn needle for a clean finish.

Your Whimsical Puff Stitch Headband is now complete! Enjoy the warmth and style it brings to your chilly days.
