Additional Notes: Puff stitches can have any number of loops to determine thickness. This is a 11-loop puff stitch, which we find to be the perfect amount. The written instructions have been updated since filming of the tutorial. Please note the multiple is 4 + 5, not 4 + 10 (however, this still works out).

Chain three at beginning of row counts as a double crochet stitch.
