How to crochet the Jasmine Stitch

  1. 1Work a group of pull-up loops similar to a puff stitch, but do not close each group back into the same single stitch.
  2. 2Draw your loops from the previous petal and from the chain spaces so each new petal links into its neighbor.
  3. 3Close each group of loops with a yarn over and pull through, then chain to set the petal.
  4. 4Anchor the petals into the loops of the row below rather than into a single stitch, which is what locks the rows together.
  5. 5Repeat across and row over row, keeping loop heights even so the petals stay uniform.

Tips

  • This is an advanced stitch, work a practice swatch before committing to a project.
  • Even loop height is everything, uneven loops make the petals look messy.
  • The fabric is thick and warm, which makes it ideal for cowls and winter blankets.
