Slanted Puff Crochet Stitch
This is my version of the slanted puff crochet stitch. It is a beautiful stitch pattern for just about anything from the kitchen and other home decor projects to blankets, clothing, and more.
This tutorial assumes you know how to make the basic crochet stitches as well as the puff stitch. The purpose of this tutorial is to show how to work the puff stitch in a slant or a beautifully textured fabric.
You can modify the stitch in terms of how many wraps you make for the puff stitch, thus, increasing the textures if you want.

Photo Tutorial
The first image below shows the first two rows done as per the pattern above. You can see the chain one spaces at the beginning and end of rows. These are marked off in the yellow stitch markers and are skipped throughout the pattern.
The chain two spaces in the middle are marked off with blue stitch markers.
To begin the row with slanted puff stitches: Ch 1, 2 hdc in first 2 sts, ch 1.
Skip the ch-1 sp. Sl st in first ch-2 sp.
Ch 2.
Then work the puff stitch into same chain.
Ch 1. If you are new to crochet, mark the ch-2 made just before the puff stitch to make it easier for the next row.
Then repeat the steps above: (sl st, ch 2, puff st, ch 1) into next ch-2 sp and into each ch-2 sp across to ch-1 sp; sk ch-1 sp, hdc in last 2 sts.
The next row is the same, except now you are working into the ch-2 sps made just before the puff stitches.
Ch 1, hdc in first 2 sts, ch 1.
Skip the first ch-1, sl st into next ch-2 sp.
Ch 2.
Work puff st into same ch-2 sp, ch 1.
And again, repeat that across: (sl st, ch 2, puff st, ch 1) into next ch-2 sp and into each ch-2 sp across to ch-1 sp; sk ch-1 sp, hdc in last 2 sts.
