The Puffed Stitch is all about texture. It's a style of the bobble stitch where a cluster of five stitches are worked back and forth over a number of rows creating a three-dimensional texture or a 'puff' in the knit fabric. It also uses more yarn than a stockinette or lace stitch because of the extra rows that are knit to create the puffs.
