When I started designing the Dream Puffs Blanket, I thought it would be a baby blanket - but this stitch is so darn squishy I decided it's for everybody! So here is the Dream Puffs Blanket free crochet pattern in 5 sizes. You're going to love cuddling up in this one!

The Dream Puffs Blanket uses this fantastic v-stitch puff stitch combo move. It's an easy pattern to memorize, that creates tons of texture, loft, and warmth. The lovely color changes are created using two colorways of Lion Brand Scarfie. It's a self-striping yarn worked in stripes! I used two colorways with a lot in common, but I can't wait to see what combos you all come up with!

Thank you so much! 😀

Print friendly not working right. Does not give options. Goes right to print settings. I copied and saved but much prefer pdf. Hope it gets fixed for next person. Thanks. Beautiful pattern.
Tamara Kelly says
Ah shoot, sometimes it does glitch - opening PrintFriendly.com in another tab usually works even when the button is being persnickety.
CHARLENE says
Hi, I too like to keep my favorite patterns as pdf. This was funny I was going save this pattern and then I realized I have a whole sub folderTitled Moogly AND I made almost all of them some more then once. I thought you'd like that. AND thank you so much.
Tamara Kelly says
🙂 You are so very welcome! And thank you so much, no better recommendation!
Oval Lee McKenzie says
Tamara, how do you connect the yarn changes?
Tamara Kelly says
I finish the last stitch of each color with the new color. When this means adding color 2 for the first time, I just let about 6-10 inches of yarn hang off the back and weave it in when I'm ready to do so. 🙂
Jacque Dooley says
Love the pattern, Thank you for sharing. I'm excited to make the blanket. It would also make a great bath mat.
Deborah says
I tried the printer friendly and the adds on the side cover half of the pattern so you can't read half of the pattern or see the pictures.
Tamara Kelly says
If Print Friendly doesn't work with your system, you have a variety of other options including the Clean Print plug in and a simple copy and paste to a word processor document. None of the options are blocked on this site.

Just got the first box of 6 skeins to ma,e the King size blanket! I dont know which will be finished first... this blanket or my doctorate!
Tamara Kelly says
Ha! I've heard stories about those from friends - best of luck!!
Sarah says
Hi there...I'm having a little trouble...is the *(sc, ch 3, puff st) all worked into the same stitch?
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Sarah! I think this will help: https://www.mooglyblog.com/dream-puffs-blanket-tutorial/ 🙂
mEREDITH BECKHARDT says
i have such a tough time pulling up the last yo on the puff stitch it is tight.. i have to redo about 50% of my puff stitches. and it is hard to pull through all 5 loops. Anybody else have this problem?
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Meredith! I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble. As for pulling up, I'm afraid all I can think of is practice and trying to loosen your stitches - make sure to hold your yarn overs and loops all up hight while you're making the stitch! When it's time to pull through all the loops, try turning your hook so that the "hooky" part is pointing down, so it doesn't catch any of the stitch loops. I hope that helps!
chris bassett says
I have used a 4 mm hook and done the yarn over and pull up loop 3 times instead of 2 so it's not quite so gappy. But if its too tight I find pulling loop up to make it a big loop is quick and easy. LOVELY EASY PATTERN THAT DOES GROW FAST. THANK YOU> OH and it so light which is just what I wanted
Kristy says
Beautiful!! I never thought about using Scarfie for a blanket - I have a ton of it and the pattern is beautiful!! This is gonna be next WIP 😊
Jessica says
Hello! The blanket is gorgeous! I am a little confused at the edging though. Row 73 went fine and I sc over that but then how do you sc the rest of the edging when it is not even? How do you cut the yarn you have been dragging and attach? Thank you!
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Jessica! This tutorial might help: https://www.mooglyblog.com/working-into-the-edge/ You can break the yarn color you aren't using for the edging. 🙂
Breann says
Would you know how many stitches in the chain i would work using the bernat blanket yarn to make a king size blanket? We had to evacuate from hurricane Florence and wanted to work on a project in the meantime and drive time to pass the time and stress. I just love the look and simplicity of this pattern!
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Breann! That's hard to say without making a swatch, but I do have a way around it! https://www.mooglyblog.com/long-starting-chains-made-easy/ Good luck and stay safe! ♥
D Brown says
Can this pattern be done using Bernat chunky baby blanket yarn and a size "L" hook?
Tamara Kelly says
Yes, whatever combo gives you the fabric you like! 🙂
D Brown says
