— Grain Square :
Info :
Grain Square Notes: Turning chains do not count as a stitch. Square is made in turned rows, then edging is added in the round. Make 5 squares with the following color combinations (all Grain squares are labeled as "G" in Placement Chart): 1) MC = A, EC = F 2) MC = B, EC = F 3) MC = C, EC = F 4) MC = D, EC = F 5) MC = E, EC = F
Info :
Abbreviations: Ch = chain; EC = edging color; LPuff = long puff st (see notes); RS = right side; SC = single crochet; St(s) = stitch(es); WS = wrong side; YO = yarn over.
LPuffC (long puff stitch combination) :
This stitch combination is worked over the next 6 sts. Stitch count remains the same (no increasing or decreasing). Count 4 sts to the left (or to the right if crocheting left-handed), then count 2 rounds down from working row. This will be the location where you will pull up all of the loops for the puff sts in this combination. When pulling up loops for the long puff sts, be sure to pull them up long enough so that they do not constrict your work. *[YO, insert hook into indicated space below, YO and pull up loop] twice (working into the same space each time), YO and pull through all 5 loops on hook to complete first puff, skip next st in working row (this will be covered/hidden by the puff st just made)**, SC into each of the next 4 sts of working row (be very careful to find the first of these locations for the SC sts-it is covered/hidden by the puff st as well), working into the same location below, work from * to ** to complete the next puff st (and skip the next st in working row). 6 sts worked. Tip: it is very easy to miss the location of the first SC (of the 4 SC) in the middle of this stitch combination! You have to move the puff st to the side to find it. Make extra certain you are working into the correct place- be sure to watch the tutorial on the Creative Crochet Corner for tips!

Use a stitch marker to divide the side into two equal sections. When working alongside edge, be sure to crochet around (encase) the long floats along edge to hide them. Ch 1 (does not count as a stitch), SC along the side edge, making 10 SC into each section and ending at top corner. Continuing across top edge, 1 SC in each of the 26 sts across top edge, rotate to work along other side edge toward bottom. Using stitch marker, divide other side edge into two equal sections, 10 SC into each section ending at the bottom corner of the square. Fasten off.
