Crochet Puff Stitch Granny Square Pillow

Download Pattern Instructions here

This is my new Crochet Puff Stitch, Granny Square, Pillow. I wanted to make into a pillow because of how soft the stitch is. All those Puff stitches create a nice cushion.

The Puff Stitch Video can be found HERE. The video is 1 color only. 

There are 2 different sides. I wanted to do something different.  I have yardage for each side because I used different weight yarn. 

15 inches is the pillow size.

Side 1: Solid Cream Color (Lionbrand Baby Soft - 1 pound)  (thin worsted weight). 

All 13 Rows = 209 yards of Thin worsted yarn
**************************************************

Side 2: Solid colored - Yarn: Caron 1 pound (Deep Violet, Lilac, Cream, Sky Blue)

If you were to do a solid colored granny square with Worsted Weight Yarn it would be 121 yards.  

Hook Size: J

14 inch pillow

Row 1: ch1 (Work 1 Puff st in ring, chain 1)8 times in the ring, Join with a slip stitch to the top of the 1st Puff Stitch. Cut yarn and finish off. (8 puff stitches)

Row 2: ch1, Do (1 Puff, ch1) x2 in the same space and in each ch1sp all the way around, join in the top of the beginning Puff stitch (16 Puff stitches)

Row 3: We start to square off the granny square

ch1, Do 1 Corner in same space, ch1. Do (1 Puff in next ch-space, ch1)x3 then *Do 1 Corner, ch1. Do (1 Puff st in the next ch1-space, ch1)x3* Repeat from * to * then join in the top of the beginning Puff st . (20 Puff stitches)

Row 4: ch1, Do 1 Puff st in same space, ch1. Do 1 Corner in next ch3-space, ch1. Do (1 Puff st in the next ch1-space, ch1)x4. *Do 1 Corner in next ch3-space, ch1. Do (1 Puff st in the next ch1-space, ch1)x4* repeat from * to * then do (1Puff st, ch1) in each ch1-space and join in the top of the Puff st. (24 Puff stitches)

Row 5: ch1, do 1 Puff in same space, ch1, 1 Puff in next ch1-space, ch1. *Do 1 Corner in next ch3-space, ch1. Do (1 Puff in next ch1-space, ch1)x5* Repeat 3 times total then do 1 Co rner in next ch3-space, ch1, do (1 Puff, ch1) in each ch1-space and join in the top of the beginning Puff st. (28 Puff stitches)

You can continue in the same manner as many rows as are needed.

If you need to change yarns every row like the other side of my pillow here is the pattern..

The beginning chain 3 counts as the first DC

Chain 6 and join with a slip stitch to form a ring

Row 1: ch1 (Work 1 Puff st in ring, chain 1)8 times in the ring, Join with a slip stitch to the top of the 1st Puff Stitch. Cut yarn and finish off. (8 puff stitches)

Row 2: Join yarn in any ch1-space and chain 1. Do (1 Puff, ch1) x2 in the same space and in each ch1sp all the way around, join in the top of the 1^st Puff stitch (16 Puff stitches)

Row 3: (Starting to square it off) Join yarn in between the a group of 2 puffs. It's also below where you cut off the yarn when you ended row 2. Ch1, Do (1 Corner, ch1)in same space. Do (1Puff, ch1) in each of the next 3 ch1-spaces * Do (1 Corner, ch1)in the next ch1-space. Do (1Puff, ch1) in each of the next 3 ch1-spaces * repeat 2 times total. Then, do (1 Corner, ch1) in next chspace. Do (1Puff, ch1) in each ch1-space then join at the top of the beginning Puff st.

(20 Puff stitches)

Row 4: Join new yarn in any corner ch3-space. Ch1, Do (1 Corner, ch1) in same space *Do (1 Puff, ch1) in each ch1-space, Do (1 Corner, ch1) next ch3-space * repeat 2 more times then Do (1 Puff, ch1) in each of the next 4 ch1-spaces and join in the top of the beginning chain 3. (24 Puff stitches)

Repeat in the same manner as many rows as you need on your square

FINISHING:

One thing I want to say is that I usually make the granny squares ¼ inch less then the size of the pillow so it's taut. If you make the squares to big the pillow form may be loose inside the granny squares.

Take the first granny square and lay it across the pillow form then take safety pins and attach the corners of the granny sq. through the corners of the pillow form. 

Take the 2nd Granny square and lay it on the pillow form. Get the safety pin through the 4 corners of that square as well.

Then, I started doing a single crochet through both sides. Do a single crochet in each side. On the corners, I did 5 single crochets. Just do as many as you think needs to be done. I used an H size hook.

You can do the whip stitch with a yarn needle if you want to.

Again, the pattern instructions can be found here

Crochet Video tutorial: All Crochet Puff Stitch Granny Square

My Crochet Puff Stitch Granny Square

See Video here

Get pattern here

This is a Granny Square made with Puff Stitches. It creates a thick granny square so it's great for Pet blankets which, for now, is the reason for these. Pillows would also be a great idea for making them. They're also unusually quick. I thought it would take longer then, say, a Traditional Granny Square.

There are 2 patterns below. The first is for the Solid colored granny square and the other is if you want to change yarn every row. 

How to do the Puff St: [YO, insert hook into next st, YO and pull through ]3 times…YO and pull through all 7 loops. (for a larger puff you can do 9 loops)

For those of you who are familiar with the Puff stitch there is always a chain 1 done after it, to secure it.  It's included in the instructions. You don't have to worry about remembering to do it. 

The Yardage for Worsted Weight yarn:
If you do a 5 Row Puff Granny Square = 110 feet total = 37 yards used

If you do a 6 Row Puff Granny Square = 139 feet total = 46 yards used

If you do a 7 Row Puff Granny Square = 172 feet total = 57 ½ yards used

If you do a 8 Row Puff Granny Square = 208 feet total = 70 yards used 

If you do a 10 Row Puff Granny Square = 292 feet total = 97 yards used

Skill Level: Beginner, because you are going into chain spaces not into a stitch.

Abbreviations:

* = Repeat in between instructions them

Corner = Do (1 Puff st, ch3, 1 Puff st) in the next ch3-space

ch-1 space or ch-3 space = refers to an actual space made from a previous row

ch1 = need to chain 1

Hook: I
Chain 27
Rows: 14
Experience: Beginner
Yarn: Red Heart

PUFF STITCH:
YO, insert hook in next st, (YO, pull up a loop) 4 times, then YO, and draw through all loops on hook

Other Stitches Used:
Half Double Crochet

Foundation Row: Do 1HDC in 3rd chain from hook and do 1 HDC in each stitch across the row.

Row 1: chain 2, turn.do 1 HDC in each of the next 2 stitches, Do 1 Puff Stitch in next stitch, *Do 1 HDC in each of the next 4 stitches, 1 Puff stitch in next stitch* end with 1 HDC in each of the last 2 stitches
