Pattern Steps
Center Circle (in purple):

First Layer (in teal):

Second Layer (in mint green):
- Attach mint green yarn between any two puff stitches from the previous round.
- Chain 3, execute a special stitch (similar to a partial double crochet done multiple times in the same space to create a cluster):
- Yarn over, insert into space, yarn over and pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through two; repeat this process until you have five loops on the hook, then yarn over and pull through all five loops.
- Repeat this around, working into the gaps between all the puff stitches (16 total clusters). Join with a slip stitch, cut, and secure the yarn.
Making It Square (in white)

Sides:
