Crochet Puff Stitch How-To Video and Pattern by Maggie Weldon – Puff Stitch Baby Bunting

Hi : >

This is the design that got my whole crochet career started!!! – the Puff Stitch Baby Bunting. Baby buntings make a great gift for a mother-to-be or your own baby. The PA784 – Puff Stitch Baby Bunting is a colorful and cozy pattern that is sure to keep your baby warm. Don’t let the puff stitch scare you away from trying out this pattern. Wendy Heineken, a Maggie’s Crochet customer, asked for some help with the puff stitch, so I created a video for her. The pattern repeat for the stitch is listed below, along with the video. Use this information to get you through this pattern, especially at row 4 where Wendy had some questions come up.

P.S. Once Wendy saw the video she was able to understand the stitch – yeah!!!

    This bunting is beautiful! Thank you for sharing the pattern.

    Can you please tell me what size baby this is for? Thanks!

    Hi Judy,

    This bunting will fit most infants – the underarm circumference is about 18 inches. Once the child starts walking, the bottom seam can be remove and the bunting can be worn as a robe.
