I have used this crochet puff stitch tutorial in many of my patterns, check out some of them below:-

 

multi colour design

 

Any thickness of yarn and hook size can be used for this stitch, but the thicker the yarn and larger the hook you work with will make the puffs stand out more, I have used for the picture swatch samples a worsted weight #4 yarn (Aran for UK users) and a 5.00mm crochet hook size.
