    Step 1

    For this granny square which I like to call NO PLACE LIKE HOME, I used 100% cotton yarn and 3 mm crochet hook.
    The tutorial is written in US terms.
    Used stitches:
    Single crochet - sc
    Double crochet - dc
    Slip stitch - sl st
    Popcorn stitch
    So, grab your hook and some yarn and go for it!
    Chain 6 and slip stitch into the first chain to make a ring. Ch 1. Work 8 sc. Sl st into the ch 1 (picture 1).
    Sl st to the first sc. Work one popcorn. To make the popcorn stitch: work 5 double crochet (dc) stitches in the same stitch. First chain 3 (picture 2).

    Then work another 4 dc (total 5dc – picture 3). Drop the loop from your hook. Insert your hook from front to back under the top 2 loops of the first double crochet of the group (picture 4).

    One possibility is to work only first 8 pop corn stitches in one color and the rest of the square in same color. Like this.
