Puff Stitch Panel Crochet Baby Blanket

From the Designer: "Learn how to crochet the puff stitch! Then learn three variations when you make this puff stitch panel crochet baby blanket. I love panel-style blankets for a number of reasons. They are still mindless, because you repeat one stitch for several rows. And just when you start to get a little tired of the same stitch, you learn a new one!  I also think the color-blocked aesthetic is really lovely. These particular stitches reminded me of a variety of biblical motifs, which is where the Bible blanket subtitle comes in! We have grapes, wheat, vines, and an alternative to the stone lodge stitch which made me think of the cornerstone. I hope you enjoy this pattern!"
