In this step-by-step crochet stitch tutorial I show how to make the grid and puff stitch. This crochet stitch tutorial includes photo instructions and a video tutorial (see below). For this crochet stitch you should know how to make a double crochet. The tutorial below shows how to make a puff stitch. The grid and puff stitch is a repeat of two rows. It is easy to make and the fabric has an interesting texture.
For this tutorial I use Soft FRAYA Cotton 8/4 100% Organic cotton 50g – 180 m yarn, color: dusty pink, and a 2.0 mm hook.
