Hi Sarah-Jayne , Is the Jasmine stitch in counts of 3 ? So when making the foundation make it 3+3+3 puff stitches etc ? I hope I’m making sense lol
Hi Sarah-Jayne
What size chain do you start with and what is the multiple to make it wider?
Thank you
Hi Karen
With jasmine stitch you don’t make a chain as you normally would, you begin by making a series of puff stitches and increase until you reach the desired width. You can find the written info on my blog here: https://blog.tcctest.co.uk/jasmine-stitch/ which has the video tutorial at the bottom – you may find it makes more sense once you have watched the video. Hope this helps 🙂
I’m wondering how or in what place you would add more yarn? I’m almost finished with one skein and don’t want to use a knot or make an extra thick spot in the pattern. Help would be appreciated!
It’s best to change yarn once you reach the end of a row – as you are making the very last part of a stitch just pull through the new yarn. I have a tutorial which shows you how to do this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaIuAWV2BA4&t=186s (even though the video shows a different stitch, the principle is the same) You would then just sew the ends in and it shouldn’t be noticeable at all.
Gah, what a beautiful stitch! So pleased to realize it’s actually quite simple after watching the tutorial. Thank you!
How many puffs would you do on your foundation stitch for a blanket?
HI Carly The best way to work this out is to crochet a small swatch. For example, if you make a small sample with twenty puffs in the foundation, you can then measure this and use it to work out how many to do for a full size blanket
