I tried a new puffy hat pattern and truly loved it. Courtesy : http://www.crochetnmore.com/puffstitchbabyhat.htm
The hook I used- Size H (US)
Yarn- Bernat Cotton tots- pretty in pink.
Stitches I learned- :
SC Puff stitch- YO, pull up loop 4 times, 9 loops on the hook, YO, pull through t 2 loops, push puff to front of the work, work next stitch.
FPDC- Front Post Double Crochet-: YO , insert hook from the front of the work right to left around the post of the indicated stitch on a previous row;
Yo and pull up a loop (3 loops on the hook)
Yo draw through 2 loops (2 loops on hook)
Yo draw through 2 loops(1 loop on hook)
BPDC- Back Post Double Crochet: YO, insert hook from the back side of the work right to left around the post of the indicated stitch on a previous row;
YO, pull up a loop (3 loops on hook)
YO draw through 2 loops (2 loops on hook)
YO and draw through 2 loops (1 loop on hook)
The image has the close up of the puff stitch. Right at the bottom of the puff stitch, there are FPDC and BPDC alternating each other. Then the hat is finished with a round of slip stitch.
The top of the hat are just the simple rows of single crochet.
