🌸 Crochet Puff Flower Granny Square (Detailed Tutorial)

🧶 Materials:

• Yarn: 2 colors (e.g. gray for flower center, white for petals & border)
• Hook: 3.0–4.0 mm (depending on yarn thickness)
• Tools: Scissors, yarn needle

🧩 Step 1 – Make the Center Flower (Gray Yarn)

1. Magic ring (or chain 4 and slip stitch to form a ring).
2. Chain 2 – this counts as the first part of your puff stitch.
3. Puff Stitch:
   • Yarn over, insert hook into the ring, yarn over and pull up a loop (3 loops on hook).
   • Repeat yarn over, insert, pull up 3 more times (9 loops total).
   • Yarn over and pull through all 9 loops.
   • Chain 1 to close the puff.
4. Make 8 puff stitches total in the ring.
   • Chain 1 between each puff stitch.
5. Pull the magic ring tight.
6. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the first puff.
7. Fasten off and cut the gray yarn.

🪻 You now have a small 8-petal puff flower.

🧩 Step 2 – Make the Petal Frame (White Yarn)

1. Attach white yarn in any chain-1 space between gray puffs.
2. Round 2 pattern:
   • Chain 2 (not counting as stitch).
   • Make 1 puff stitch in same space, chain 2.
   • Puff stitch in next space, chain 2.
   • Continue this pattern: (puff, ch 2) around.
3. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the first puff.

✨ You’ll have 8 white puffs around the flower.

🧩 Step 3 – Start Forming the Square Shape

Now we’ll start turning the circular puff flower into a square.

1. Slip stitch into the next chain-2 space.
2. Chain 3 (counts as first double crochet).
3. In the same space: 2 double crochet (dc), chain 2, 3 dc → this makes the first corner.
4. In the next chain-2 space: 3 dc (this is a side group).
5. Next chain-2 space: (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) → this is another corner.
6. Continue this pattern:
   • Corners: (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc)
   • Sides: (3 dc)
7. You should have 4 corners and 4 sides when done.
8. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the starting chain 3.

🧩 Step 4 – Add the Outer Border

1. Chain 3 (counts as dc).
2. Work dc in each stitch across each side.
3. At each corner (ch-2 space), do: (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc).
4. Continue all around the square.
5. Join with slip stitch to finish.
6. Fasten off and weave in all ends.
