• Others: Scissors, sewing needle

Stitches Used:

• Chain
• Slip Stitch
• Half Double Crochet

Pattern Steps

Center Circle (in purple):

• Start with a slip knot, then chain 5.
• Join to form a ring with a slip stitch in the first chain.
• Chain 3 (counts as first double crochet), then make 15 double crochet into the ring.
• Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain 3. Total of 16 stitches.

First Layer (in teal):

• Attach teal yarn to any stitch.
• Chain 3, then execute puff stitches in each stitch around (16 total puff stitches):
• Yarn over, insert hook, yarn over again and pull through, repeat until you have 7 loops on the hook, then yarn over and pull through all 7 loops.
• Join with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain 3. Cut and secure yarn.

Second Layer (in mint green):

• Attach mint green yarn between any two puff stitches from the previous round.
• Chain 3, execute a special stitch (similar to a partial double crochet done multiple times in the same space to create a cluster):
• Yarn over, insert into space, yarn over and pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through two; repeat this process until you have five loops on the hook, then yarn over and pull through all five loops.
• Repeat this around, working into the gaps between all the puff stitches (16 total clusters). Join with a slip stitch, cut, and secure the yarn.

Making It Square (in white)

• Attach white yarn in any gap.

Create corners:

• Chain 4 (counts as first triple crochet), then make 2 more triple crochet into the same gap.
• Chain 3, and make 3 more triple crochet into the same gap.

Sides:

• Work a series of triple crochet, double crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, and triple crochet into the gaps around, adjusting as necessary to create straight edges.
• For the corners, chain 3 between the groups of 3 triple crochets.
• Join with a slip stitch to complete. Cut and weave in all ends.
