“Hoff Bwythau” is Welsh for “Favourite Stitches”

It’s a bit of a joke because lots of people seem to hate bullions. I love them! I also love puff stitches and shallow back posts.

For this square I used DK yarn and a 4mm hook, but you can use any yarn or hook suitable for your project. If you want to make this to fit in with a BAMCAL1 project, please note that I have made this with the same yarn and hook as I do for the BAMCAL “six inch” squares, which are designed for Aran/Worsted yarns. This comes out for me at roughly the same (smaller) size as my BAMCAL “six inch“ squares (very slightly over 4½ inches).

This pattern is available in UK and US terms. Please let me know if you have any problems with the pattern (downloading, opening, reading, making the square …) and if you spot any errors.


  1. BAMCAL is the “Crochet Block a Month CAL” and there is a new one for each year. There are two 12 inch squares and one 6 inch square (if worked in Aran/Worsted) each month. You will easily find them by searching the full name in groups search.
