Can anyone guide me to directions for 'Puff' stitch? I found directions for a scarf I would like to crochet, but the puff stitch has me baffled. I do not know it.

Hi there, the puff stitch is several of the same half-closed stitches which are then join together to finish the stitch. Simply search "puff stitch" in your favorite search engine for more information. Thanks! - Julia from FaveCrafts
