How to Make the Puff StitchTo make the puff stitch, simply yarn over and insert the hook into the designated chain, stitch, space or loop. Yarn over once again and pull it through. At this point you should have three loops on the hook. The loops remain on the hook while you repeat the above steps. With each repeat you gain an extra two loops on the hook, and you can do as many or as few repeats as you like. The more repeats you do, the bigger and puffier the stitch becomes.
Rare American Coins and the Silver Dollar Since 1840The Liberty Seated silver dollar was adapted from Christian Gobrecht’s design for a silver coin with very limited mintage between 1836 and 1839. This coin met the new lighter weight, smaller size specifications for American silver dollars.
Rare American Coins Minted As Territorial IssuesAt one time, from 1847 until 1936, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the Philippines were all territories of the US. As American territories, the US mint struck their coins for a short time.
Lining a Crocheted ToteThe first thing to when when lining a crocheted tote is to take measurements of the finished tote.

But for girls you can crochet up pretty dresses and all types of fancy tops, bags and purses, belts and other fun accessories.
