Crochet hook: 3.5 mm (or hook recommended for your yarn). Scissors. Yarn/tapestry needle for weaving ends. Tape measure (optional, for sizing). Optional: blocking mats & pins (for best final shape). ✨️Abbreviations ch = chain dc = double crochet st(s) = stitch(es) rep = repeat BLO = back loop only (not used in this box stitch — dc worked into full stitch unless you prefer BLO effect) [] = work instructions in the brackets as one unit 🖌Pattern notes & stitch counts Foundation requirement: a multiple of 6 + 4 chains (that is: 6n + 4).

Skip 1 stitch, dc in next stitch, ch 2, skip 2, 1 dc in next — repeat across the row. This creates small chain spaces across. 🔹 Row 3: (Puff Stitch Row) 1. Ch 3 (counts as dc). 2. 1 dc in the same stitch. 3. Ch 1, skip 1 space, in next space make a puff stitch (yarn over, insert hook, pull up loop — repeat 3 times, yarn over and pull through all loops), ch 3, make another puff stitch in the same space. 4. Ch 1, skip 2 dc, dc in next — repeat from * to * across. End with 2 dc a...
