Flat puff stitch, version 2

After showing you version 1 of the puff stitch in the previous tutorial, this tutorial covers version 2. A puff stitch consists of several yarn overs that are always worked into the same stitch. There is version 1 (V1) and version 2 (V2), which differ in the number of yarn overs.

Here are the steps for the puff stitch, version 2.

Start by making 1 yarn over, then insert your hook into the stitch and pull up a loop.

For a puff stitch (V2), repeat the same steps (yarn over, insert hook into the same stitch, pull up a loop) 2 more times until there are 7 loops on your crochet hook.

Now yarn over again and pull the yarn through all loops.

Finally, crochet 1 chain stitch. The puff stitches in the following rounds are always crocheted around this chain stitch.
