The puff stitch is one of the cluster stitches, similar to a bobble and a popcorn stitch. Several stitches are worked as a cluster within the same stitch without changing the stitch count of the row. The puff stitch is "puffier" than the bobble or popcorn stitch and can be worked in rows or in conjunction with other stitches.

Using Your Swatch
This would make a lovely blanket. Use your swatch to determine the size of your blanket. For example, if you measure 5 stitches within an inch and you want a blanket 30 inches wide, multiply five by 30 and chain 150 stitches. If you have 4 stitches to the inch, then you would chain only 120 stitches.
