Learn to Crochet The Jasmine Stitch Step By Step
Learn how to crochet the beautiful Jasmine stitch in this step by step tutorial with pictures and video.
The crochet jasmine stitch is made with clusters of puff stitches. Once you’ve worked a few rows they’re grouped to resemble the jasmine flower.
The beauty of this stitch is that it’s a reversible stitch. It looks the same on both the right side and wrong side of your work.

It’s a very thick stitch. For that reason I’ve chose to work a smaller puff stitch cluster. You can increase the number of loops for each puff stitch to make each one thicker. Be aware this stitch is a yarn eater.
Materials
You’ll need yarn and the corresponding hook size. I’m using a #4 medium worsted weight yarn with a 5 mm crochet hook.
We’ll start with a foundation row of puff stitches, and build out our Jasmine star stitches from there.
I use the same puff stitch as I use in the Piemonte Blanket which is a free crochet pattern here.

This is one of those crochet stitches that becomes easy once you learn it. However, there is a bit of a learning curve the first time you make it.

Thank you for extra long tutorial. This will be wonderful when I do it maybe 50 times, and it becomes more familar to me. It is so gorgeous. 1st project will become a hair band so I show off those beautiful Jasmine flowers. Thank you!
You’re so welcome. It’s a beautiful stitch and I think a hair band is a perfect project for it!
Do you know what multiple of foundation puff stitches are needed to have the pattern work out right when scaled up or down? I’d love to make a blanket, but I’m not sure how to know the number of foundation stitches to start with besides trial and error. Thanks!!
Hi Rachael, this is a great question. For the jasmine stitch there is not a stitch multiple since you’re making the stitches and the first row at the same time. This means you just keep going on your first row for as wide as you need, but turning and working row 2. I hope this helps! I think this would be a beautiful blanket too.
