Special Stitch Tutorial: 5-hdc Surface Puff Stitch
The decorative holiday baubles are created using a 5-hdc puff stitch anchored directly into the surface of the wreath:
-
Insert & Yarn Over: Attach the contrast yarn to your hook or insert your hook directly under a stitch on the surface of the wreath. Yarn over, insert the hook into the desired stitch/surface, yarn over, and pull up a loop to the height of a double crochet (3 loops on hook).
-
Repeat 4 More Times:
-
Yarn over, insert hook into the exact same stitch, yarn over, and pull up a loop to the same height (5 loops on hook).
-
Repeat this step 3 more times until you have worked into the stitch a total of 5 times (
11 loopson your hook).
-
-
Complete the Puff: Yarn over one final time and carefully draw the yarn through all 11 loops on the hook.
-
Secure the Stitch: Chain 1 tightly to lock the puff stitch into a round, spherical ornament shape.
-
Finishing: Cut the yarn leaving a short tail, fasten off, thread the ends onto a tapestry needle, pull them inside the wreath body to hide them, and trim any excess.
