FOUNDATION CHAIN

Start with 6 ch, close the chain with ss to create a circle.

ROUND 1 (FOUNDATION ROUND)

• To start the new round work 1 ch as 1 dc and then 15 more dc stitches, close round with ss.

• Connect another colour and work puff st into each dc from previous round. Close the round with ss.

To create puff st – yo, insert the hook into foundation stitch, yo draw up a loop, repeat 3 times into the same foundation stitch, the last time draw the yarn though all 7 loops on a hook, finish with ch 1. You can also make the puff even more puffy creating loops 4 instead of 3 times.

ROUND 2

• Change colour of the yarn.
• Work puff st into each space between puff stitches from the previous round.

ROUND 3

• Connect another colour and work 3 ch as 1 tr and 2 more tr into one of the spaces between puff stitches from the previous round, ch 1 and again 3 tr into another space. Repeat until you have 3 clusters of 3 dc.
• To make a corner work 3 tr 2 ch 3 tr into one space.
• Work 1 ch and again 3 clusters of 3 tr until you will reach another corner.
• Close the round with ss.
