If you’re looking to infuse your next crochet project with texture, warmth and effortless elegance, the lovely puff V stitch is your perfect new friend. This stitch combines the soft, cloud-like clusters of a puff stitch with the airy, modern “V” shape to create a fabric that’s as squishy as it is stylish. It’s especially ideal for scarves, beanies, fingerless gloves and baby blankets—items that benefit from both cozy bulk and visual interest. Whether you’re seeking a reversible pattern for full-view pieces, or simply want a go-to design that keeps repeating rows simple, the puff V stitch delivers.

To work a puff stitch yarn over and pass it through the ch 1 space yarn over and pull up a loop. Do this 3 more times. In total you should have 9 loops on the hook.
