This is a digital PDF pattern for working a 4.5 inch Corner to Corner (C2C) puff stitch square that has a 3 DC border. This C2C pattern combines two different stitches: the Puff stitch and the C2C set of ch-3, 3 dc. The puff stitch is a thick crochet stitch that provides a puffy, raised texture to any crochet project. Working them in the C2C crochet method causes the direction of the puffs change with each row. The 3 dc border creates a contrast with the puff stitches, along with an easy way to join the square with other squares to create a variety of projects. This square is very suitable for stash-busting projects. The pattern contains written instructions and photo guides for making a square, along with directions for modifications of puff stitches and overall size.
