STITCH MULTIPLE: The Stacked Puff Stitch is worked over an fsc of any odd amount, or a chain of any even amount. Adjust as needed for the desired width.

SPECIAL STITCH: Puff Stitch (puffst) – (Yarn over, pull up a loop in the next ch-sp) 4 times (9 loops on hook), yarn over, pull through all loops on hook.
