*** Please
get familiar with the pictorial, it is to help you learn this new stitch. The
picture shows where to put the hook through.
The decrease row shows you where to skip the 2 stitch that we have increase to
make this stitch puff. Please watch carefully where you should skip your 2
stitch to even out the stitch count number or you will end up skipping too many
and it will be uneven.

chain 1, turn, sc into same st, sc just before the first set of puffy
stitch, skip 2 st (PIC 1) and sc the next st (PIC 2), repeat to end of row.
