        \ud83d\udd39 Jasmine Stitch Primer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        The jasmine stitch is a puff-stitch-based technique that creates a star-like flower pattern. It\u2019s worked by pulling loops through previous stitches and chaining to lock them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Tip<\/strong>: This stitch can be yarn-hungry, so plan your yardage accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \ud83d\udd39 Instructions (Flat Panel Construction)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n

        2. Row 1 (Setup Row)<\/strong>:\n
            \n
          • Yo, insert hook, pull up loop<\/em> 3 times (total 7 loops), yarn over, pull through all, ch 1 to close the puff.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Continue puff stitches across the row.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Row 2 Onwards<\/strong>:\n
              \n
            • Insert hook into the closing ch of the previous puff and repeat the puff stitch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Repeat until the piece measures your desired bag height (approx. 7\u20139 inches).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
