- Alternate DC Turning Chain (alt-ch): Turn your work. Do not work any chains. Make a SC in the first stitch of the row, insert your hook into the front left vertical bar of the SC and yarn over, pull up a loop (2 loops on hook), yarn over and pull through both loops.
- Modified Puff Stitch (puff st): Yarn over, insert hook in next stitch, yarn over and pull up a loop (3 loops on hook), yarn over and pull through first 2 loops on hook (2 loops left on hook), yarn over, insert hook in same stitch, yarn over and pull up a loop (4 loops on hook), yarn over and pull through all loops on hook.
- Split SC (TRC): Working a split stitch means that you will be working into the center “V” of the stitch below, not into the top loops
