Crochet Christmas Puff Stitch & Popcorn Garland Pattern
Materials You Need:
- Yarn (any cream yarn is suggested; chunky yarn with a 6mm recommended hook size)
- Crochet Hook (7mm size, one size up from the yarn's recommended hook size)
- Optional: Beads (wooden beads or any beads you like that complement your theme)
- Optional: Smaller hook or needle for adding beads (depends on the hole size of your beads)
Popcorn Garland Crochet Pattern:
Start with a slip knot on your hook.
- Chain 1.
- Pull up a loop from the chain you just created, as tall as you'd like your popcorn sections to be (make sure to be consistent in height each time).
- Yarn over, insert hook back into the chain 1 space, yarn over again, and pull up a loop (repeat this step a total of four times, each loop should be the same height).
Yarn over and pull through all loops on the hook.
- Chain 1 to close off the puff stitch.
If not adding beads:
- Chain 1 again.
- Pull up a loop.
- Start over at step 3 for your next puff stitch.
If adding beads:
- At the end of the puff stitch (after step 6), pull up the loop a bit more and remove your hook.
- Use a smaller hook or a needle to pull the loop through the bead.
- Replace your crochet hook into the loop.
- Chain 1 to secure the bead in place.
- Chain 1 again, pull up your loop, and begin the next puff stitch starting from step 3.
- Continue creating puff stitches, with or without beads, until you reach the desired length of your garland.
To Finish:
- After your last puff stitch, do a chain 1 to close.
- Chain one more time.
- Cut the yarn and pull it through the loop to secure, weaving in any ends.
Repeat these steps to create a beautiful popcorn-style garland, either with or without beading, until your garland reaches the desired length.
