Learn how to crochet the Jasmine Stitch! This beautiful six-petaled flower is also known as the Daisy Puff Stitch and adds the right amount of texture and cushioning in your projects. It combines puffs in a circular manner but don’t be daunted by the first look. It can be a bit challenging because of the amount of loops you’ll be working with but once you get the hang of this stitch, you’ll love adding it to your crocheted items.

You can use any hook size and yarn weight that you’re comfortable with, especially when you’re starting off. I would recommend that you use a smaller hook with a thicker yarn so that the petals are closer together around the center (a bigger hook would result in a looser center circle).

Instructions:

You will make a Puff Foundation Row to begin.

Ch 1. (stretch this to the size you want your puff stitch to be)

Rep *YO, insert your hook in the ch, YO, pull up a loop* 3 times for 7 loops on the hook.

YO, hold the yarn with the other hand to create a loop (see image), and pull through all 7 loops on the hook.

Sl st into the loop you created.

Ch 1.

*Space for the next puff stitch is created by holding this part.*

You will be working into the space you created on top of the previous puff st (see image).

Rep *YO, insert your hook in the ch, YO, pull up a loop* 3 times for 7 loops on the hook.

YO, hold the yarn with the other hand to create a loop, and pull through all 7 loops on the hook.

Sl st into the loop you created.

Ch 1.

Where you’ll be working the next puff stitch.

For my swatch, I made a total of 10 puff stitches in this way. You can make as many foundation puff stitches as needed to reach the desired project length/width. Always remember that when you’re pulling up loops, keeping them at the height that you want your puff stitch to have or they’ll end up being too small and smooshed together. It also makes pulling through much easier.

To start the first row,

Rep *YO, insert your hook in the ch, YO, pull up a loop* 3 times for 7 loops on the hook.

YO, hold the yarn with the other hand to create a loop, and pull through all 7 loops on the hook.

Sl st into the loop you created.

Ch 1.

The next 3 puff stitches, you’ll be working together in 3 different spaces (see image).

In the first space, rep *YO, insert your hook in the ch, YO, pull up a loop* 3 times for 7 loops on the hook.

In the second space, rep *YO, insert your hook in the ch, YO, pull up a loop* 3 times for 13 loops on the hook.

In the third space, rep *YO, insert your hook in the ch, YO, pull up a loop* 3 times for 19 loops on the hook.

YO, hold the yarn with the other hand to create a loop, and pull through all 19 loops on the hook.

Sl st into the loop you created.

Ch 1.

The spaces where you’ll be working the 3 puff stitches.

You will continue working your puff stitches in this way, 3 at a time, in the 3 spaces designated (see image). Always ensure there are 19 loops on your hook before you pull through and close the petals.

At the end of the row, you’ll turn your work. To start the next row, you will always make just ONE puff stitch. Once you have that first puff stitch, you’ll be able to start working 3 at a time as you did previously. Continue working your rows in this manner until you have the desired height of your project.
