Puff stitch, bubble stitch

[crochetfun]

I am confused. Are puff stitch and bubble stitch two different things or the same?
(I wish the names were more consistent.)

ok here is what i found out for you. in my crochet stitch bible a puff stitch is normally a group of three or more hdc stitches joined at both top and bottom
:hook now for the bobble stitch
a bobble is usually a group of several doubles or longer stitches joined at both top and bottom. It is often surrounded by shorter sts and worked on a wrong side row. so in theory the bobble looks wider in picture cos you do it more times in same place. they are very similar though. hope this helps :wgrin

Thanks for your reply.

Here is something I have done before and refer to as the Puff stitch:

Then I saw this:

and I am wondering whether it is the same type of stitch or a different one?

Does anyone know?

i looked at first link but could not see the second one as there were problems but the first one is puff stitch with lots of stitches to make the puff. will have to see if i can view other site tomorrow. :hook

Thanks so much for trying.:) Right now there seems to be a problem connecting to craftsters.

If you get to see it you'll see that it is a nice solid pattern, suitable for baby and animal blankets/pads and probably many other things.

Thanks again, answer found at the original craftster's post:

it is a cluster stitch/sc combination:

oh :yes the cluster stitch is another good stitch with so many sts done together as i did that when i made dot's cluster craze hat. there are so many sts that are worked together with different names. :hook glad you found the answer and that pattern does look good :h5 :tup
