There’s just something about a blanket full of texture that makes me want to curl up and get comfortable! This afghan has been such a fun project to work on, and I’m loving how the puff stitches give it that soft, cozy look.

For this project, I’m using the Puff Stripes Blanket pattern by Created by Carolien. The combination of puff stitches and colorful stripes really caught my attention, and I couldn’t resist giving it a try!

I chose a combination of deep purple, dusty lavender, soft taupe, and cream. I love how the colors complement one another, and watching each new stripe come together has been part of the fun. The puff stitches add so much dimension, making even the simplest rows stand out.

This afghan is still a work in progress, but I’m enjoying watching it grow, one cozy row at a time!

A Little Tip From Me

Puff stitches create such beautiful texture, but they can take a little more time and yarn than simpler stitches. Take your time with each puff and try to keep your tension consistent so the stitches look nice and even.

I’m looking forward to seeing how this one turns out when it’s finished!
