Hook Size/Gauge:

Basic Terms/Abbreviations Used (US):
ch – chain BPsc
– back post single crochet
yo – yarn over FPsc
– front post single crochet
slst – slip stitch BPhdc
– back post half double crochet
sc – single crochet FPdc –
front post double crochet
hdc – half double crochet BPdc
– back post double crochet
dc – double crochet
tr – triple crochet For reference ease, special stitches are defined in the rounds they are used in.
Round 1:
With color A, ch 4. (2 dc, ch 3, slst) in 4th ch from hook. (Ch 3, 2 dc, ch 3, slst) in same ch. DO NOT fasten off. 4 ch-3 spaces and 4 dc. Your piece will look like a little bow tie!
-----
Round 2:
Slst into the next ch-3 space. Ch 3 – counts as 1st dc. (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in same space. *Dc in the next 2 dcs. (2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in the next ch-3 space. (3 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in the next ch-3 space.* Repeat * to * once more, omitting (3 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) on final repeat. Join with a slst to 3rd ch of beginning ch-3 and fasten off. You should now have a square with 4 ch-2 corners and 6 stitches per side.
-----
Round 3:
Join color B with a standing dc in any ch-2 corner space. (Hdc, dc, tr, ch 1, tr, dc, hdc, dc) in same space. *Skip the next 3 stitches, (dc, ch 1, dc) between the 3rd and 4th dc of the side, skip the next 3 stitches. (Dc, hdc, dc, tr, ch 1, tr, dc, hdc, dc) in the next ch-2 corner space.* Repeat * to * 3 more times, omitting corner sequence on final repeat. Join with a slst to beginning dc and fasten off – or alternately use the invisible join as we will be back posting in the next round. 10 stitches and 1 ch-1 space per side.
-----
Round 4:
Recommended – Shallow Post Stitches – It is recommended that you work your back post stitches ‘shallow’ in this pattern – this will create a more even look. To shallow post, insert hook at the very top of your stitches, just under the back and front loops and above the 3rd loop of your stitches rather than dropping beneath the 3rd loop and working around the post itself (see photo above – hook entering stitch from back to front above the 3rd loop and arrow is showing where hook will exit from front to back above 3rd loop to complete the stitch). Photo from different pattern.
Join color C with a standing hdc in any corner space. (Ch 2, hdc) in same space. * BPhdc around the next 4 stitches. You should have a set of 3 dc from Round 2 directly below your next stitch - working in front of your Round 3 stitches, FPdc around the center dc of this Round 2 set. Returning to Round 3- skip the next stitch, (Dc, ch 1, dc) in the next ch-1 space. Again working in front of your Round 3 stitches, FPdc around the center dc of the next set of 3 dc set from Round 2. Returning to Round 3 – skip the next stitch, BPhdc around the last 4 stitches of side. (Hdc, ch 2, hdc) in the next corner space.* Repeat * to * 3 more times, omitting corner sequence on final repeat. Join with a slst to beginning hdc and fasten off - or alternately use the invisible join as we will be back posting in the next round. 14 stitches and 1 ch-1 space per side.
-----
Round 5:
Join color D with a standing sc in any corner space. (Ch 2, sc) in same space. *BPsc in next 5 stiches. Skip the next 2 stitches, (Dc, ch 1, dc, ch 2, dc, ch 1, dc) in the next ch-1 space – shell made. Skip the next 2 stitches, BPsc in the last 5 stitches. (Sc, ch 2, sc) in the next ch-2 space. Skip the next 2 stitches, BPsc in the next 5 stitches. (Sc, ch 2, sc) in the next corner space.* Repeat * to * 3 more times, omitting corner sequence on final repeat. Join with a slst to beginning sc and fasten off - or alternately use the invisible join as we will be back posting in the next round. 16 stitches, 2 ch-1 spaces and 1 ch-2 space per side.
-----
Round 6:
Special Stitch – Puff – [Yo, insert hook into indicated stitch or space, pull up a loop] 4 times – 9 loops on hook. Yo and pull through all 9 loops, close with a ch-1. For pattern purposes, closing chain does not count toward subsequent stitches.
Join color E with a standing dc in any corner space. (Ch 2, dc) in same space. *BPdc in next 6 stitches. Ch-2, skip the next (dc, ch-1 space, dc), puff in center ch 2 of the shell. Ch 2, skip the next {dc , ch-1 space, dc}, BPdc around the next 6 stitches. (Dc, ch 2, dc) in the next corner space. * Repeat * to * 3 more times, omitting corner sequence on final repeat. Join with a slst to beginning dc and fasten off. 14 dc, 1 puff, and 2 ch-2 spaces per side.
