It was important to me to design something that was approachable to most crocheters, but also was super fun to create. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that the set makes for a FANTASTIC holiday gift idea, or market stock. So, without further adieu, meet my newest babies - Perfectly Puff Beanie and Perfectly Puff Cowl! And just look at that color - so so deliciously pigmented. Main Squeeze yarn is going to become, well, your main squeeze.

NOTES :
When beginning a new round, remember to alternate your placement of your first puff stitch. On odd rows, begin to the left of the previous row’s first puff stitch, and on even rows begin to the right of the previous row’s first puff stitch. This will allow your seam to remain straight instead of slanting at an angle.

BEANIE ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS:
Lay your beanie down with your seam in the center. Insert your hook through the same space as your last Sl St and through to the other side of the beanie as well. Sl St these two sides together.This should create two “petals” on either side of the Sl St. Fold the center of each “petal” to the center and slip stitch them together as well. You should have four “petals” at this point. Repeat the same process again, bringing in the center of two of those four “petals” to the center and Sl St them together. Repeat with the other two of the four “petals”. You should have eight “petals”. Now, working from “petal” to “petal”, Sl St them together as you work in a circle. After Sl St’ing all eight “petals”, Sl St to the first section to close up this circle.
