Breann can you tell me how many stitches on your needle when doing the puff stitch? Before doing the ch 1 when going to the next puff stitch……….Thanks ??❤️

Thanks so much. ?????☀️⛲️
Are you doing another c1 after the closing c1 notes in the puff stitch directions?
Yes 🙂
What is the magic ring?
Hi! There are a lot of tutorials on youtube and pinterest 🙂
What sizes will this particular pattern fit?
It’s a child size. About a size 6 – 8
What would be the best way to size down to a newborn? I love the adult size and have made about 10 of them. We have a new granddaughter and I would like to make a matching pair for Mom and daughter. Thanks!
Hi! I’m not sure without making a completely new pattern. Maybe try starting with 6 double crochet in the ring?
Thank you so much. I’ve made 11 Chemo caps so far. This puff stitch is one of my faves. I consider myself intermediate but, I have learned so many new patterns and improved my crochet a lot. Thank you again for such a rewarding experience
That’s awesome! Thank you so much!
