Puff Stitch Trellis Granny Square   Free Crochet Pattern

The 6th square to be featured in the Hodgepodge Granny Square crochet along will show you how to crochet a puff stitch and create a trellis lace using crochet chain spaces.

The added texture in this square all comes from the puff stitches which are seemingly random in their placement.

In fact, the stitch pattern is more repetitive than first thought, with the puff stitches being worked on top of the single crochet stitches, which anchor the trellis lace chain. 

This textured crochet granny square pattern will be a firm favourite, and the stitch pattern would work well for a lightweight crochet cowl too.

Puff Stitch Top Tips

The puff stitch is one what take a little practice to get your hook to go through all the loops on your crochet hook in 1 go. Here are some tips to help you complete the puff stitch:

• When bringing the yarn back through the stitch or chain space, bring your hook up slightly beyond the height of the row being worked
• Place your finger on the top of your hook as you re-insert it to bring the next loop up to prevent the loop on the hook getting smaller
• Practice; like all stitches, it wont be long until the "muscle memory" kicks in and your hook will work seamlessly with your yarn, and you'll be pull through all those 7 loops in 1 go.
