Special Stitches

How to crochet the Stacked Single Crochet (STsc)

This stitch is an alternative to extended half double crochet, its intention in this pattern is to replace the ch3, or ch2 + dc at the beginning of the pattern and get a straighter edge.

At the beginning of the row, do not chain, keep your yarn behind your hook and work 1 single crochet in the first stitch, then work another single crochet into the left leg of the single crochet you just worked.

How to crochet the Puff-2 stitch

(yo, insert hook into next st, yo and pull up a loop) x 2 times working into same st, yo and pull through 4 loops, yo again and pull through 2 remaining loops.

How to crochet the Puff-4 stitch

(yo, insert hook into next st, yo and pull up a loop) x 4 times working into same st, yo and pull through 8 loops, yo again and pull through 2 remaining loops.

Notes

• Stitch Multiple: (multiple of 10) + 6 + 2 (turning ch’s) = chain a multiple of 10, then add 6 ch, and another 2 for turning ch’s.
• STsc is an alternative to the 1st double crochet, its intention in this pattern is to get a straighter edge. If you prefer, you can replace it with ch3, or ch2 + dc at the beginning of each row.
• Ch 1 and ch 2 at the beginning of the row don’t count as a stitch.
• You can use different colors for the body and flower sections. See yarn quantity for each section in the materials above.
