started so you want to begin by creating your slipknot and you can do this in
whichever method you prefer go ahead and insert your crochet hook now for this
stitch we aren't going to start with a traditional foundation chain we're
actually going to do a series of puff stitches in order to build that first
row so you're going to go ahead and chain one just to begin with and then
we're going to create a puff stitch so for this you want to pull up your yarn
elongate that stitch so this wants to be a couple of centimeters long yarn over
go back into that first chain one yarn over and pull through and pull up that
loop so we have three loops on the hook yarn over go into that same chain and
then yarn over and pull through and pull up that loop again so we now have five
loops on the hook you then want to go ahead and pinch this yarn just here
at the side so I just take my finger and thumb and pinch because we want to keep
that slightly separated from the rest of the stitch
you're going to yarn over and pull through all of those loops on your hook
and then you're going to go into that pinched piece of yarn like so yarn over
and pull through and then yarn over and pull through both of those loops to
secure so that is our first one were then going to repeat that again so
you're going to pull up a couple of centimeters you're going to yarn over
and then we're going to insert into this space just here not the elongated chain
just here the one just above the last puff stitch so it's yarn over into the
top of the last puff stitch yarn over and pull through pull up that loop
you'll have three loops on the hook yarn over insert into the same space yarn
over and pull through you'll have five loops on the hook and then you're going
to go ahead and pinch that yarn again yarn over pull through that puff stitch
insert your hook into that section of yarn that we held onto yarn over and
pull through you'll have two loops on the hook and yarn over and pull through
both loops on the hook so we now have two puff stitches we're going to repeat
that again so elongate your stitch yarn over insert into the top of the last
puff stitch yarn over and pull through and pull up a loop three loops on the
hook yarn over insert yarn over pull through and pull up that loop you'll
have five loops on the hook pinch onto your yarn yarn over pull
through all of those into that pinch stitch yarn over and pull through one
loop you'll have two loops on your hook yarn over pull through both loops on
your hook so you're simply going to repeat this all the way along for your
foundation so essentially you want to keep going until
you have the amount of stitches that you need for the width of your project so go
ahead pause the video rewind if necessary but repeat that until you get
to your desired width and I'll meet you back in just a moment so once you have
made your puff stitches were then ready to work back on ourselves along this
chain or chain of puff stitches so what we're going to do here is very similar
just slightly different we're going to start off as we have been so you're
going to elongate that stitch yarn over insert into the top of that puff stitch
yarn over and pull through so that's once we made three stitches and twice
and we have four loops on the hook now what we're going to do though is work
into the next space along because we're actually going to create three petals
here and it's important to know that we're going to work into these spaces
twice because we're going to have a lot of chains on the hook so now that
we've made one petal here we yarn over go straight into the next yarn over
pull up a loop yarn over into that again yarn over pull up a loop we've
worked in there twice now we now move on to the next one yarn over insert yarn
over and pull up a loop that's one yarn over insert yarn over and pull up a
loop that's two you'll have thirteen loops on your hook
we then pinch the yarn again just as we have before and yarn over and pull
through all of those loops on the hook remember to point your hook downwards so
that when you're going through you don't get stuck once you've gone through all
of those carefully take your finger off that pinched loop
go into that loop yarn over and pull through you'll have two loops on the
hook and yarn over and pull through to secure so we've now made these three
petals so we're going to repeat that again you're going to elongate your
stitch you're going to yarn over and insert into that stitch that we've just
made yarn over and pull through yarn over insert yarn over pull through so
that's twice in there we want to find the next stitch along the next space so
it's going to be down from this one and go into there one and two and then we're
going to find the next one along which is just here one and two so we have 13
loops on our hook pinch the yarn and then yarn over and pull through all of
those loops on your hook which can be a little bit tricky especially when your
trying to do it on camera and we're going to go into that pinched loop that we've
made so make sure that you hold onto that into that loop yarn over and pull
through and then yarn over pull through both of those loops on the hook so we've
just made another three petals we're going to do this all the way along so
I'll just show you one more time elongate the stitch yarn over insert
yarn over pull through that's one yarn over insert yarn over pull through
that's two into the stitch just below so we've made those three petals it's into
the top of the last petal and into the base of the last petal yarn over
insert yarn over pull through yarn over insert yarn over pull through that's two
move across yarn over insert yarn over pull through yarn over insert yarn over
pull through that's 13 loops on the hook yarn over
point your hook downwards and pull through all of those loops on your hook
I think I always miss that last one just there and then into that pinched
stitch yarn over pull through and then yarn over pull through both of those
loops so you're going to repeat that all the way along your row your last stitch
will end in the chain 1 from the very start of the project so rewind the video
if you need to repeat those three petals all the way along and I'll meet you back
in just a moment ok so I have just come to the end of this row now and we're
ready to move on to row 2 so as you can see those last three petals just here
the very last one goes into that end so we just have to do something slightly
different at the beginning here you're going to elongate your stitch and turn
your work and we're going to do a puff stitch just here so yarn over insert
yarn over pull through yarn over insert yarn over pull through and then we're
going to finish off that puff stitch so pinch pull through into that pinched
stitch yarn over pull through and then yarn over pull through two so that's
almost like a turning puff so that we can work back in the same way as what we
did before so now what we want do from here is elongate our stitch
yarn over insert into the base of that stitch on the top of the last puff yarn
over pull through yarn over insert yarn over and pull through so we've gone into
that stitch twice we don't finish that off yarn over into the base of that last
puff stitch yarn over pull through yarn over insert yarn over
and pull through that's twice and then into the next one one and two you'll
have 13 loops on your hook pinch the yarn pull through all 13 loops go into
that pinched stitch yarn over pull through two loops on the hook and then
yarn over pull through two so we've again just created three more stitches
now what this does is it actually creates part of the almost flower from
this row and then it also creates parts of the flower from the next row so it
just builds really really nicely we're literally doing the same thing for each
and every row now so elongate yarn over insert yarn over pull
through that's one and again two into the base of this puff yarn over insert
yarn over pull through one and two and then into the next one one and two
thirteen loops on the hook pinch the yarn yarn over and pull through all 13
loops on the hook and then into that pinched stitch yarn over pull through and
then yarn over pull through two so I'm going to go ahead and build a few
more rows of this now so that you can start to see what it looks like but
essentially you are doing exactly the same thing as you've done before and
remembering that each row you are doing that
turning puff stitch so I'll go ahead and do that and meet you back in just a
moment okay so I have just built this for a few more rows and it's looking so
pretty what you will find is whatever row you finish on you have this row of
puff stitches which is exactly like it is at the end but it's just super super
beautiful all you need to do to finish off is yarn over and snip off your yarn
and then you can go ahead and sew in your ends so I really hope that you have
