About the Jasmine Stitch?
The jasmine stitch is made by working puff stitches into a star-like motif that builds from the sides and joins together like petals. It’s a dense, textured stitch creates a stunning surface texture.
This stitch is usually worked in the round or back and forth in rows, and it’s often made using a chainless foundation for a smoother, stretchier base.

The Jasmine stitch is made up of connected puff stitches. For this stitch, we don’t start with a traditional foundation chain; instead, we are going to work a series of puff stitches to build the correct shape.

FAQs
Is this stitch suitable for beginners?
I always say if you like the look of a stitch, try it. If you’re comfortable with basic stitches like chain, double crochet, or treble crochet, you’ll likely pick it up quickly. I also recommend watching the video tutorial alongside following the written pattern. Lastly, take your time, practice slowly, and don’t worry if it feels tricky at first.
How do I keep count of my stitches?
Using stitch markers can make a huge difference, especially at the beginning and end of rows or rounds. Counting regularly after each row will also help you spot mistakes early before they become harder to fix. If you’re still struggling, add stitch markers after every 5 or 10 stitches.
My edges are uneven! What am I doing wrong?
Uneven edges usually happen when stitches are accidentally added or missed at the ends of rows. Pay close attention to where the first and last stitches go, and count your stitches often to make sure the total stays consistent. Using stitch markers can help with this. CLICK HERE for more help starting and ending rows with confidence.
What should I do if I make a mistake?
Mistakes happen to every crocheter! If you notice an error a few stitches back, gently pull out the stitches to the problem area and try again. In the crochet world, we call this frogging, and it’s all part of the learning process.
Why do my stitches vary in size?Â
This will be your tension. If you struggle with your tension and find your crochet stitches are inconsistent, or they get tighter or looser, I can help fix this with the golden loop! CLICK HERE to help fix your tension issues.
How long does it take to learn a new crochet stitch?
Some stitches click immediately, while others take a little more practice. Give yourself time to repeat the stitch pattern slowly, and don’t be afraid to pause and replay tutorials. Practice makes progress.

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
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!
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?
