(00:28) This video is one of many helpful tutorials to accompany the Tunisian Snowy Sampler, a gorgeous 20-block afghan that teaches new Tunisian crochet stitches and techniques with every square. To get the row-by-row instructions for this square and find out how to make the entire sampler blanket, visit the link in the description. To make the zippered puffy stitch, we need to start with a chain of any even number. I'm going to go for 12.
(00:51) so i'll make my slip knot insert my hook yarn over and pull through make sure these chains aren't too tight because we will need to work into them later we're going to start with our normal foundation row and that involves rotating our chain towards us to expose this back channel of bumps. We're going to skip the very first bump here, find that second bump, insert your hook from bottom to top through just that one loop, yarn over and pull up the loop.
(01:25) And we're going to do that for each chain down the line we'll know we did it right if we've got the same number of loops on our hook as the number of chains that we started with let's give it a count and make sure we're in the right place one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve perfect and now we can do our return pass we'll start with a yarn over pull through one loop and then we're going to yarn over and pull through two loops yarn over pull through two yarn over pull through two again until you have just one loop left on your hook just like that and that completes our foundation and it should
(02:21) look a little something like this now that we've made our foundation row let's move into our first puff stitch row so to begin we need to chain one so yarn over pull through one and that just gets us to the correct height of our puff stitches now when making your puff stitches just make sure you're pulling up nice tall loops these are tall stitches and if you don't pull up your loops high enough you're going to have trouble passing your hook through those stitches so we're going to start by putting a puff stitch between our first and second stitch so right into this space.
(02:50) So first we're going to dip our hook down into the space, yarn over and pull up a tall loop. It's easy to pull up a tall loop if you keep your tension loose in the hand that's holding the yarn so just keep that in mind. So we pulled up a loop in the space now we'll yarn over pull up a loop in the same space yarn over pull up a loop in the same space again.
(03:11) So there's our first puff stitch. So now we're going to skip the next space so this is the space we worked into we're skipping this space here puff stitch in the following space. To make our puff stitch no yarn over to start just insert into the space, yarn over, pull up a tall loop, yarn over, pull up a loop in the space, yarn over, pull up a loop in the space.
(03:33) Just like that. Let's do it again together. Skip the next space, puff stitch in the following space, pull up a loop, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over, pull up a loop. Let's continue across the row. Skip the next space, puff stitch in the following. Skip the next space, puff stitch in the following.
(04:09) skip the next space your last puff stitch goes in the space before the last stitch here so right into that space and now we need to do our last Tunisian stitch we've got a tall vertical bar here but we also want to grab the loop behind it I like to call it the shadow because it sits right behind and it is about half as high as that front loop. So here's our front loop and our shadow is right here sitting right behind it.
(04:37) So we need to go in and grab both of those loops. So I like to just use the tip of my hook here. I'm going to shimmy down into that space, grab both of those loops, yarn over, and pull up a loop. So this is what your forward pass looks like. Very pretty. Nice even puff stitches. So now to start our return pass for this row, we need to chain two.
(04:58) So yarn over, pull through one, and yarn over, pull through one again. And this again is just to get to the correct height. Now from here, we need to yarn over and essentially pull through the loops of our puff stitch so this loop and our puff stitch loops just like that after we pull through those loops we need to yarn over and pull through one for a chain one and we're going to do that all the way across so yarn over pull through the next puff stitch just kind of separate it out if you need to. Pull through, yarn over, pull through one. Yarn over, pull through the puff stitch. Yarn over,
(05:33) pull through one. Yarn over, pull through the puff stitch. Yarn over, pull through one. And we'll continue that down the line. So when we get here, we need to pull through the puff stitch, but this first loop right here is not part of the puff stitch. So we yarn over, pull through the puff stitch. So now we've got two loops left on our hook, and we need to yarn over, pull through one loop.
(05:57) We still need to do that chain one, and now we have two loops left. If you're continuing with the same color, you'll yarn over and pull through those last two loops, and then continue to the next row.'m actually going to change color i'm going to be using three different colors on this swatch so i'm going to pink next so at this point with those two loops left on the hook i'm going to yarn over with my pink and pull through those last two loops my blue is still attached i'm just going to leave it there and carry it up the side of my work
(06:23) and now we can move on to the next row to start the next row we need to actually chain two so yarn over pull through one and two to start now we're going to puff stitch between the first and second puff stitch so right into this space so dip down yarn over pull up a tall loop yarn over pull up the loop yarn over pull up the loop and we over, pull up the loop.
(06:46) And we're going to continue that down the line putting a puff stitches between all of your puff stitches, we now need to do our last Tunisian stitch. So we're going to come over here and we're going to grab that front bar and the shadow just like that. Yarn over and pull through to complete that last stitch.
(07:34) Now from here we need to chain two to start our return pass just like last time and again we're going to yarn over and pull through the puff stitch. Yarn over, pull through one. Yarn over, pull through the puff stitch. Yarn over, pull through one. Yarn over, pull through the puff stitch. Yarn over, pull through one. Yarn over, pull through the puff stitch. Yarn over, pull through one.
(08:00) I really hope you were pulling up nice tall loops because it should be easy. Pull through one. I now have two loops left of this color and again if you're continuing with your color you're going to yarn over pull through those last two loops but I am going to change color. I'm going to white next so I'm going to yarn over leaving a nice long tail and pull through those last two loops.
(08:23) Now for this row I need to start with a chain one just like that and I'm going into this space here. It's gonna be very important to kind of keep an eye on all of your loops just keep all those tails out the way. Now for this row and subsequent rows we need to work into the space but we're not just working into the space.
(08:42) We're actually going to grab these vertical bars here. You can see this blue bar laying on top of these puff stitches. That was not available to us in previous rows, but it's available now. And we'll work into those because it'll give us a more nested look to our puff stitches as opposed to kind of this open space underneath them.
(08:58) It's just going to close that up a little bit, make them look a little neater. So as I dip down into this space, I'm just grabbing that blue vertical bar going all the way into the space, yarn over, pull up a nice tall loop. Now I'm going to yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over, pull up a loop.
(09:18) So we're making the same puff stitches we're just being sure to grab that vertical bar here. So here in this next space I'm grabbing this blue vertical bar so going down under that bar, pushing my hook to the back of the work, pulling up a nice tall loop, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over, pull up a loop.
(09:41) Again in this next space make sure you grab the bar, insert, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over, insert, yarn over, pull up a loop, and one more time. And we're going to do that all the way down the line, placing our last puff stitch in the space before our last stitch of the row. Okay, last space is here, so we do need to place a puff stitch here. Insert, yarn over, pull up a nice tall loop.
(10:12) There's two and three. Work our edge stitch, yarn over, pull up a loop, and then we need to chain two to start our return pass. Yarn over, pull through the pass. Yarn over, pull through the puff, yarn over, pull through one, yarn over, pull through the puff, yarn over, pull through one, yarn over, pull through the puff, yarn over, pull through one.
(10:42) Remember on this last puff stitch, this very first loop is not part of the puff so we yarn over pull through the puff yarn over pull through one and then we're going to change color so all my colors are now attached and I'm going to go to blue next so I'm just pulling my blue up the side of the work I'll yarn over kind of get my white out of the way, and pull through those last two loops.
(11:09) So for this row, remember we now need to chain two, and we're going into this space here. Now as before, we do have a horizontal bar that we'll be able to work under. It's right here. So this one is pink. It's laying right on top of this pink puff stitch stitch and we've got one in each of our spaces so make sure you grab those so I'm going under that bar yarn over pull up a nice tall loop yarn over pull up your loop and then one more time yarn over and pull up your loop into the next space and the next space all the way across.
(12:17) And we're skipping this puff stitch and this space here. We're going directly into our edge stitch from here. Chain two to start the return pass yarn over pull through the puff chain one yarn over through the puff chain one through the puff chain one through the puff chain one through the puff chain one and then we change color again so now you're getting the gist of it I'm going to add a bit more fabric onto my work. Join me back here and I'll show you how to bind off.
(12:49) I added just a few more rows onto my piece and I just love how it's looking. So I am ready to bind off. Now when you are ready to bind off, you need to finish with a row that's like this, where you have a puff stitch in that very first and very last space.
(13:05) Otherwise your bind off is going to look completely crazy so you have to finish with one of these rows okay so once I did I completed my return pass until I had one loop left on the hook and I also fastened off the other colors that I'm not using so whatever color you use for that last row you're also going to use for your bind off so here we go we're going to start with a chain one to start and then we need to slip stitch in the top of this first puff stitch.
(13:30) So it does have a horizontal bar here so we're just going to grab that bar, yarn over, and slip stitch. Just keep those slip stitches nice and loose. And next we're going to single crochet in the top bar of this next space. So remember before we were putting puff stitches in that bar but now we can grab that bar and complete a single crochet. Slip stitch in the puff, single crochet in the space.
(13:55) Slip stitch in the puff, single crochet in the space. The single crochets are a little bit taller, and the slip stitches, of course, course are short so it ends up evening out your top edge here. Single in the space, slip stitch in the top of this last puff stitch and then we're going to slip stitch in our edge stitch here.
(14:21) So we still want to grab the front bar and the little shadow shadow yarn over and pull through to complete as for a slip stitch at this point we can fasten off pull up that loop nice and high and we have our beautiful zippered puff stitch this is a really gorgeous stitch i love the fabric that it makes it is incredibly dense so just keep that in mind and it eats up some yarn okay another thing to note is that the edges on this stitch aren't super duper pretty and beautiful like you can often get with Tunisian crochet they're all right but I would recommend either seaming pieces
