This tutorial will teach you how to crochet a beautiful v puff stitch crochet pattern that can be used in a diverse array of projects.
The V Puff Stitch is a visually striking and highly textured crochet pattern that combines the softness of puff stitches with the open, airy structure of a V-stitch. This stitch creates a repeating V shape by working two puff stitches into the same space with a chain in between, giving the fabric both dimension and drape. The design is particularly appealing because it’s reversible—both sides of the fabric look similar—making it ideal for scarves, blankets, and garments where both sides are visible. The V Puff Stitch is a one-row repeat after the foundation is established, making it easy to memorize for those comfortable with basic puff stitches.
From a technical standpoint, the pattern usually starts with a foundation chain in multiples of 4 plus 2, followed by a setup row of single crochet. The first active row establishes the puff V shapes by working puff stitches separated by a chain into every fourth stitch. Subsequent rows build on these chain spaces, making it a rhythmic and relaxing stitch to work once you get the hang of it. The puff stitch itself requires a few yarn overs and pull-throughs to achieve its bulky, rounded form, so even though it looks intricate, it’s accessible to advanced beginners and intermediate crocheters.
This stitch works beautifully with various types of yarn—from lightweight acrylics to chunky wool blends—and produces a cozy yet breathable fabric. It’s especially useful for projects that benefit from both warmth and texture, such as baby blankets, cowls, and winter shawls. The V Puff Stitch also adapts well to color changes, with the puffed segments catching light and color in a way that adds depth and interest. Tutorials, both video and written, often emphasize tension consistency and correct placement of puff stitches to help beginners succeed and produce clean, even results.
