If you’re searching for a crochet stitch that combines elegance with rich texture, the Jasmine Stitch is a beautiful choice. This eye-catching stitch creates soft, puff-like clusters that resemble delicate jasmine flowers, giving your work a luxurious, three-dimensional appearance. It’s perfect for projects such as scarves, blankets, shawls, and even garments where you want a plush, sophisticated finish.
One of the most unique features of the Jasmine Stitch is that it doesn’t begin with a traditional foundation chain. Instead, the pattern starts directly with a series of puff stitches that form both the base and the design itself. The result is a dense, squishy fabric that looks complex but becomes surprisingly easy once you find the rhythm.
Jasmine Stitch Crochet Pattern
Materials
-
Yarn: Choose a soft, fine to medium-weight yarn. Cotton, acrylic, or bamboo blends work especially well.
-
Hook: Use a crochet hook slightly larger than the size recommended for your yarn to keep the puff stitches light and airy.
-
Extras: Scissors and a tapestry needle for finishing.
Stitches Used
Incomplete Half Double Crochet (hdc)
Yarn over, draw up a loop through the base stitch, and gently pull both loops upward.
(You should have three loops on your hook.)
Puff Stitch
-
Chain 1 and extend the loop on the hook (about 1 inch tall). This counts as the first incomplete hdc.
-
Work 2 incomplete hdc into the same base stitch (you’ll have five loops on the hook).
-
Yarn over and pull through all five loops.
-
Chain 1 to secure the stitch (one loop remains on the hook).
Group of Three Puffs
-
Chain 1 and extend the loop (counts as the first incomplete hdc).
-
Make 2 incomplete hdc in the last closing eyelet (five loops on the hook).
-
Work 3 incomplete hdc in the previous base stitch (11 loops on the hook).
-
Make 3 incomplete hdc in the next stitch (17 loops on the hook).
-
Yarn over, pull through all loops, and chain 1 to close the group.
Jasmine Stitch Pattern Instructions
Round 1:
Begin with a slip knot — no foundation chain is needed.
Work one puff stitch in the initial stitch.
Make the next puff in the closing eyelet of the previous puff.
Repeat across until you reach the desired width.
Round 2:
Start with one puff, then work groups of three puffs across the row.
Repeat until the end, then turn your work.
Next Rounds:
Repeat Round 2 for the remainder of the project, making sure each group of three puffs lines up neatly to form flower-like shapes.
Each jasmine “flower” features six petal-like puffs radiating from the center, except for the first flower, which forms the foundation of the piece.
Tips for Success
-
Keep your tension relaxed so the puff stitches can fully bloom.
-
Maintain consistent loop height for an even, polished look.
-
Light blocking can help define the floral shapes beautifully.
-
This stitch uses more yarn than basic stitches, so plan accordingly for larger projects.
