puff stitch granny square

We love nothing more than a good, classic granny square! Since these are a pattern staple in a crocheter's arsenal, we knew we had to bring you one of our favorites. Allow me to introduce...

The Puff Stitch Granny Square

A simple granny square with contrasting border and puff stitch corners evoke a timeless look with modern techniques. Worked up in lightweight yarn creates a delicate look and a light, textured blanket when assembled.

Supplies

Yarn

Sewrella Yarn Classic Sock (Weight 1 / Fingering, 3.5oz/100g, 400yds)

*I used the holiday calendar mini skeins for the centers and a light tonal for my borders. Yields approx. 3 squares per mini skein.

Notions

Size G (4mm) crochet hook
Tapestry needle

Gauge (after blocking)

20 sts x 8 rows = 4" in dc

Notes

Yarn is held double throughout the pattern.
Ch 4 does not count as a stitch throughout.
Use scrap yarn or assorted fingering weight skeins for an heirloom look.
Pattern may be worked in other weights of yarn with corresponding hook size.
Join as you go or stitch together at the end.

Throughout the pattern, puff stitch is as follows:
Puff Stitch: *yo, insert hook into stitch or space, pull up a loop; rep from * 3 more times in same stitch or space, yo, pull through 7 loops on hook, yo, pull through remaining 2 loops on hook.
