Puff Stitch Chevrons Make The Best Texture Ever

puff stitch chevron

Two classics collide and the results are SO worth it. Puff stitches give this pattern all the texture, but they don’t complicate the chevron shaping one bit — that happens on totally different rows. In other words, this deliciously textured, delightfully zig-zaggy pattern is easier than it looks.
