    Block #14 for the Year Long Moogly Afghan CAL! ♥ Starfire by Melinda Miller

    Now for my notes!
    • Be sure to read the designer's Special Stitches descriptions and Changing Colors notes - important stuff!
    • If you are unfamiliar with Bobble Stitches, watch the Moogly video tutorial HERE before you begin this pattern - but do note that her bobble includes only 3 dc, not 5 as in the video.
    • The pattern itself is so well written, I didn't take any notes while making it at all! Great beginner pattern! I even ended up at exactly 12".
    • My color changes were as written in the pattern: Round 1-2 Blue; Round 3 Red; Round 4 - 5 White; Round 6-7 Green; Round 8-10 Red; and Round 11 Blue.
    This pattern was a delightful interlude - quick, easy, and a very pretty result!  If it isn't your thing, you can find a list of alternate free squares patterns by clicking HERE as well as a list of fantastic paid squares patterns by clicking HERE! Thanks so much for crocheting-a-long with me!

      Just wondering if this square could redesigned to suit a 6" square style.

        Perhaps with a much thinner yarn?

      I'm really happy to have come this far along with everyone else in this CAL. BUT I'm also sad that now there's only 10 of the squares left...

        Me too...I am starting to think i would like the whole thing in a monochromatic color...actually leaning toward white cotton.

      I read every blog you put out Tamara! I haven't started this CAL yet but have my colors and yarn ready to go. Will be crocheting catch up but love seeing all the color varieties that others use. Tamara, though you have used your 3/4 color choice in your CAL will it mess up the look if I just choose a single color now and then to mix things up?

        Hi Diane, and thank you! 😀 I think it'll look great if you have some solid color squares! 😀
