Description:
Start with light color yarn and make chain 5. Insert hook in the first chain and make clip stitch.
R1: Ch 3, 15 dc in chain loop, sl st in first st. (total 16 sts)
Change yarn to next color.
R2: Ch 3, *take yarn over, insert hook in between two stitches of R1 and draw a loop, again yarn over and draw loop by inserting hook in the same space, one more time yarn over, insert hook in same space and draw the loop, you will have 7 loops on the hook, draw yarn through all the loops and make a chain* this completes one Puff stitch. Watch video to get more clarity. Similarly make one puff stitch in between each stitch of R1 ( total 16 puff stitches). Make sl st.
Change yarn to next color.
R3: Ch 3, *make one puff stitch in between two puff stitches of R2, ch 1* repeat * to * for full round and Sl st.
Change yarn to dusty color, this will be the boarder for our puff stitch flower and turn circle into square. Right now we are above puff stitch so begin with a Sl st in between next puff stitch.
R4: Ch 3, 2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc, in same space, *ch 1, 3 dc in next space*, repeat * to * 2 times (total 3 of 3 dc), {3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc} this is called as corner, repeat * to * 3 times then corner, again repeat * to * and corner two times. We completed circle with 4 corners and 3 of 3 dc in between. Make Sl st and cut the yarn. Sew in the end.
