MATERIALS

EQUIPMENT

• crochet hook (I used 4.00 mm one)

METHOD

FOUNDATION CHAIN

Start with 6 ch, close the chain with sl to create a circle.

ROUND 1 (FOUNDATION ROUND)

• To start the new round work 3 ch as 1 dc and then 15 more dc stitches, close round with sl.

• Connect another colour and work puff stitch into each dc from previous round. Close the round with sl.

To create puff stitch yarn over (yo), insert the hook into foundation stitch, yo draw up a loop, repeat 3 times into the same foundation stitch, the last time draw the yarn though all 7 loops on a hook, finish with ch 1. You can also make the puff even more puffy creating loops 4 instead of 3 times.

ROUND 2

• Change colour of the yarn.
• Work cluster stitches (cl) into each space between puff stitches from the previous round, starting with 2 ch instead first dc in the cluster.

To create double crochet cluster stitch work 3 dc but only half way, do not finish them leaving yarn on the hook (you should have 4 loops) and then close all 3 dc in one go. To finish the cluster work 1 ch extra and move to the next space in between puff stitches to work another cluster.

ROUND 3

• Connect another colour and work 3 ch as 1 dc and 2 more dc into one of the spaces between clusters from the previous round, ch 1 and again 3 dc into another space. Repeat until you have 3 sets of 3 dc.
• To make a corner work 3 tr 2 ch 3 tr into one space.
• Ch 1 and again work 3 sets of 3 dc until you will reach another corner.
• Close the round with sl.

ROUND 3+

• Repeat round 3 as many times as you need to achieve required size of the square.

NOTES

Please note that by mistake on the final and first image I used different colour of the yarn in round 3 than in the step by step images.

I used this granny square pattern to make boho style bags for my daughters. In one of them I made granny squares larger adding circle of 3 dc, 1 ch, 3 dc, 1 ch etc. in round 3 before making it square in the round 4.
