Step 1: Begin with a Foundation Chain

1. Foundation Row: Start by chaining a multiple of 6 stitches plus 2 (e.g., 18 + 2 for practice). This will ensure the zigzag pattern lines up evenly across the rows.
2. Row 1: SC in the second chain from the hook and across the row to set a foundation row. Turn your work.

Step 2: Create the First Row of Zig Zag Puffs

1. Row 2 (Puff Row):
   • Chain 3 (counts as your first DC).
   • Skip 2 stitches, DC in the next stitch. Now, work a puff stitch in the same stitch.
   • Skip 2 stitches, DC in the next stitch, and repeat the puff stitch in the same stitch.
   • Repeat this pattern across, and end with a DC in the last stitch. Turn your work.

Step 3: Work the Zig Zag Effect

1. Row 3:
   • Chain 1, SC in each stitch across the row.
   • Turn your work.
2. Row 4 (Offset Puff Row):
   • Chain 3 (counts as your first DC).
   • Skip the next stitch, DC in the following stitch, then work a puff stitch in the same stitch.
   • Continue across, placing your puff stitches in the spaces between the puffs from the previous row.
   • End with a DC in the last stitch, and turn your work.

Step 4: Repeat Rows

1. Rows 5 and Beyond: Repeat Row 3 and Row 4 until you reach your desired length.
   • Adjust your puff stitch placements to keep the zigzag pattern consistent.
   • Finish with a row of single crochet to create a clean edge.

To make the puffs extra fluffy, yarn over more times before pulling through to close each puff. You can experiment to find the look you like best!
