Got it — here is a step-by-step tutorial, written as if you’re watching every motion of the hook. This will help you recreate exactly the textured puff-fan stitch shown in your picture.

🌿 SUPER DETAILED: Puff-Fan Crochet Stitch Tutorial

---

⭐ STITCHES YOU NEED

• ch = chain
• dc = double crochet
• puff stitch (explained below)

---

⭐ HOW TO MAKE A PUFF STITCH (exact type in your photo)

1. Yarn over.
2. Insert hook into stitch.
3. Pull up a long loop (make it tall).
4. Yarn over again.
5. Insert into the same stitch.
6. Pull up another long loop.

👉 Repeat steps 4–6 3–4 times until you have 9–11 loops on the hook.

7. Yarn over, pull through all loops.
8. Chain 1 to close the puff.

This creates the big, round, fluffy puffs seen in the photo.

⭐ FOUNDATION ROW

Step 1 — Chain

Make a chain that is multiple of 4 + 3.

Examples:

• 27, 31, 35, 39…

---

Step 2 — Double Crochet Row

1. Skip the first 3 chains (this counts as 1 dc).
2. Make 1 dc into every chain across.
3. Turn.

This gives a stable base for your puff-fan clusters.

🌿 ROW 2 — FIRST PUFF-FAN ROW

Step 1 — Turning

• Chain 2 (this does NOT count as dc here).

Step 2 — Start the repeat

1. Skip 2 stitches.
2. Into the next stitch → make 5 puffs in the same stitch.

How:
Puff → ch1 → puff → ch1 → puff → ch1 → puff → ch1 → puff → ch1.

This creates one “fan.”

3. Skip 2 stitches.
4. Make 1 dc in next stitch.

Now you have:
dc, skip 2, puff-fan, skip 2, dc, skip 2, puff-fan…

Continue:

Repeat the above sequence until the end.

🌿 ROW 3 — ALIGN THE PUFF-FANS

This row shifts the fans so they stack beautifully like in your picture.

Step 1 — Turning

• Chain 3 (counts as 1 dc).

Step 2 — Stitching

1. 1 dc on top of the puff-fan (into the last puff-ch space or top of the last puff).
2. Now look for the 1 dc from the previous row → this is the center space between two puff fans.
3. Into that dc stitch → make another puff-fan (same as row 2: 5 puffs in the same stitch).

So the structure is:

• dc on top of puff fan
• puff fan on top of dc
• dc on top of puff fan
• puff fan on top of dc

Repeat to the end.

---

🌿 ROW 4 AND BEYOND

Just repeat:

• Row 2 (puff fan + dc)
• Row 3 (dc + puff fan)

over and over.

The fabric grows into the exact pattern in your photo.

⭐ IMPORTANT TIPS TO MATCH THE LOOK

✔ Make your loops tall

If puffs are too small, the fans won’t look round.

✔ Keep puff stitches loose

You must pull the hook through 9–11 loops smoothly.

✔ Count carefully

Each fan = 5 individual puffs.

✔ Make the turning chains correctly

Row 2 → Ch 2
Row 3 → Ch 3
