I’m absolutely in love with the puff stitch! I love the look of it, especially when using a multi color or striped yarn. It’s super easy and works up in less than an hour, so a super quick pattern too!

Plus, I even made a video tutorial for this headband for those of y’all that like to watch how something is made instead of read a pattern.

This pattern is for an adult headband but the pattern could easily be sized down for smaller heads.

Yarn over and insert hook into the same stitch and pull up another loop (5 loops on hook) repeat 2 more times until you have 9 loops on your hook, yarn over and pull through all 9 loops. Secure with a chain stitch.
