How to Crochet the Double Puff Stitch (dbl-puff)
Worked into a skipped chain or into the center space between puff stitches from previous rows.
- [Yo, insert hook into stitch, yo, pull up a loop] – repeat 3 times (7 loops on hook).
- Yo, pull through all 7 loops.
- Ch 1 to secure the puff.
- Repeat steps 1–3 once more into the same space,
The result is a soft, raised “double puff” that stands out beautifully against the ribbed texture. The next Double Puff Stitch is worked directly between the center space between the double puff stitches

Can I crochet the Double Puff Ear Warmer in Bulky Weight YARN
Yes you can, if you are confident to make the stitches worked LESS or MORE if you require it, remeber the bigger the yarn the bigger the hook
You will chain enough sts in the bulky yarn to COVER EARS, then simply always work your Ch1, skip 1 of the first row DIRECTLY into the CENTER st of the Starting Chain
How do you make a crochet headband fit snugly?
I always make my headbands 1.5 – 2 inches smaller than the HEAD circumference, they stretch to fit snug
