Hi guys! I hope you have had a lovely week; we’ve been having some glorious weather down here in Sussex, and I was also lucky enough to attend my brother-in-laws wedding yesterday. Overall, a very good week!

And now, to top it all off, I get to show you all the next granny square in this CAL. This granny square will feature the puff stitch, one of my favourite textured stitches.

Happy crafting!

CAL – Part 2

Granny square – Puff stitch

All crochet patterns and terms I use are in UK, but if you want them in US then check out this handy stitch converter.

Materials:

• Double Knit yarn in two different colours – I used stylecraft in khaki and grass green
• 5.5mm hook

Skills used/required:

• Puff stitch
• Double crochet
• Foundation chain
• half treble crochet
• Crocheting with two yarns

For this granny square, I will be working both dk yarns together to create a textured colour; if you want to only work in one colour I advise you either work with an aran/ worsted weight yarn, or work with two identically coloured dk weight yarns to achieve a square of 12cm.

Row 1: Double crochet into the second chain from the hook, and into each subsequent chain (15 ch total). Rotate and ch 1.

If all of the charts look like gobbledy-gook, I promise I will do a tutorial on these in the next few weeks!
