Puff Stitch Flower Granny Square
In this post, you’ll learn how to make the Puff Stitch Flower Granny Square! This delightful little square features bright, cheery colors and a fun 3D effect created by the puff stitch flowers. Comprised of just three rounds, it’s a quick and easy project perfect for adding a pop of color to your crochet.
This tutorial is beginner friendly, but you’ll want to brush up on the following skills: magic ring, chaining, half double crochet (hdc), double crochet (dc), and slip stitch (sl st). With these skills under your belt, I’m confident you can tackle this granny square.
I’m using worsted weight acrylic yarn for this project. Choose your favorite colors for the flowers and an aesthetic main color for the granny round to make your squares truly stand out.
