Crochet Puff Stitch Granny Square

Materials Needed:

5mm crochet hook
Yarn of choice in various colors
Scissors
Yarn needle

Pattern:

Foundation and First Puff Stitches:

Start off by chaining 6.
Slip stitch into the first chain to form a ring.
Chain 2. This will act as the first part of the puff stitch.

Puff Stitch:

Yarn over, insert your hook in the center of the ring, yarn over and pull up a loop about half an inch. Repeat this step three more times until you have 9 loops on your hook. Yarn over and pull through all 9 loops on the hook.
Chain 3.
Repeat the puff stitch followed by chain 3 seven more times for a total of eight puff stitches. Make sure to chain 3 between each puff stitch.
Slip stitch to the top of the first puff stitch to join.

Slip stitch into the next chain-3 space.

Finishing the First Round and Changing Color:

Chain 1, pull yarn tight, cut off, and secure.

Second Round (Adding Second Color):

Attach the new color yarn to any chain-3 space and chain 1.
Make three double crochets together (3 dc tog) in the same space as follows:

3 dc tog:

[Yarn over, insert hook, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over, pull through the first two loops] repeat twice more for three half-finished double crochets. Yarn over and pull through all four loops on your hook.
Since this is a corner, chain 4.
In the same chain-3 space, make another 3 dc tog.

Chain 2 and proceed to the next chain-3 space.
Repeat the pattern three more times to create the other three corners of the square (each corner is 3 dc tog, chain 4, 3 dc tog).
After the last corner, chain 2 and join with a slip stitch to the top of the first cluster.

Third Round (Adding Third Color):

Attach the new color yarn to any corner and follow this pattern:
Chain 1.
In the corner space, do 3 double crochets, chain 2, 3 more double crochets.
For the side spaces (chain-2 spaces), simply do 3 double crochets in each space work your way to the next corner.
At each corner, work the same pattern as before, 3 double crochets, chain 2, 3 double crochets.
Continue around the square and join with a slip stitch to the top of the first double crochet.
Slip stitch into the corner space if you prefer a smoother finish, then chain 1 and cut off.

Fourth Round (Edging in Final Color):

Attach yarn to any stitch before a corner.
Chain 1 and make a single crochet in the same stitch.
In the corner chain-2 space, do 1 single crochet, chain 2, and 1 more single crochet.
Make 1 single crochet in each of the next 12 stitches.
Continue around the square working 1 single crochet in each stitch and the corner pattern in each corner.
