Tip:

Use a light-colored yarn to highlight the intricate details of the Elizabeth Stitch. You’ll be the undisputed sovereign of your crochet circle!

Material

•  Stitch Name: Elizabeth Stitch, also known as the mini Bean Stitch.
• Characteristics: A very pretty, solid, thick stitch that’s nice and squishy, working great for scarves, baby blankets, hot pads, place mats, and thick sweaters.
• Yarn Used: Red Heart Super Saver Ombre, a 100% acrylic, medium weight number 4 yarn. The color shown is CA Coral. However, you can use any weight yarn depending on the project.
• Hook Size: Size J, which is a 6 millimeter crochet hook.

Foundation

Save

• Starting Chain: This stitch is worked in multiples of two. You can make your foundation chain any even number, fitting the intended project size.

Row 1

1. First Puff Stitch: Skip the first three chains from your hook and make a puff stitch into the fourth chain. To make a puff stitch:
   • Insert your hook into the chain, yarn over, and pull up a loop (two loops on hook).
   • Yarn over, insert your hook into the same chain, yarn over, and pull up another loop (four loops on hook).
   • Yarn over and pull through all four loops on your hook, then chain one.
2. Continue Puff Stitches Across:
   • Skip one chain, and then work a puff stitch into the next chain following the previous puff stitch instructions (insert hook, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over, insert hook, yarn over, pull up another loop, yarn over, pull through all loops, chain one).
   • Repeat this process across the row, making sure to skip one chain between each puff stitch.
3. Last Stitch: When you reach the last two chains of the row, skip one and make your final puff stitch in the last chain.

Row 2 and Beyond

1. Start Row 2: Chain 3 and turn your work. This row and all subsequent rows will have the same pattern.
2. Puff Stitches in Puffs: Instead of working into chains, you’ll now insert your hook into the space directly below the chain one from the previous row’s puff stitches.
   • For each puff stitch, pull apart the previous puff slightly to see the gap you are going to work into.
   • Insert your hook into this space, pull up a loop, yarn over, insert back into the same space, pull up another loop, yarn over, and pull through all loops on the hook, then chain one.
3. Continue Across: Repeat the puff stitches across, working each puff into the side space of the previous row’s puffs.
4. Final Puff of the Row: When you reach the end, you’ll work the final puff of the row differently.
   • Instead of inserting into a space below the chain one space from the previous puff, you’ll insert it into the turning chain space right at the end of the row.
5. Repeat Row 2 for Pattern: For all the following rows, you’ll merely repeat Row 2. Chain 3 at the beginning of each row, turn your work, and continue making puff stitches in each puff from the row below, ending with a puff in the turning chain space at the end of each row.

Conclusion

• Continue these steps, repeating the pattern established in Row 2, until your piece reaches the desired length.
• This stitch produces a dense, visually appealing fabric perfect for various crochet projects. Enjoy your crafting!

Remember to always make a foundation chain in multiples of two for the Elizabeth Stitch, and the key to this pattern is the unique placement of puff stitches in the spaces created by previous puffs for a symmetric, textured look.
