Crochet Puff Stitch Granny Square Free Pattern
I’ve been on a crochet granny square kick lately. With that being said, I decided that I needed to come up with my own version of a crochet puff stitch granny square. I love how this block turned out. It is created with only a few crochet stitches and is fairly easy to create. Whenever you are ready to create a crochet puff stitch granny square of your own, grab a hook and some yarn and get crocheting!

Now, work the following around the circle: [(Puff Stitch, Ch 1) 2xs, (Puff Stitch, Ch 1, Puff Stitch Ch 1)] 4xs. Then place (Puff, Ch 1, Puff, Ch 1) into the next stitch. End the round with a (Puff, Ch 1) in the last stitch.
Most importantly, work the last (Puff, Ch 1) combination below the diagonal in the last stitch. See the picture below:
