    My Notes:

    This pattern is free - CLICK HERE! To print or download the pattern for free, open a second tab on your browser to PrintFriendly.com and enter the URL there. If you need help with Print Friendly, please see the tutorial here.

    This pattern is the perfect square to make over the long holiday weekend - not too easy, not too hard, just right! And the end result is classic and modern, the ideal ending to our square stories this year.

    Techniques and tutorials you might find helpful: Standing Double Crochet; Standing Single Crochet; Standing Half Double Crochet

    My square was coming out just a hair too small, so I bumped up the last round to dc and hdc sts, rather than the hdc and sc sts called for. That got me right to 12" when blocked. But everyone's gauge and tension level are different so be sure to measure as you go, and check your gauge. Learn how to adjust for size HERE to make sure all your squares are the same size. Remember that the 12″ is measured across and up and down – not diagonally corner to corner.

    I used a Furls Odyssey hook and Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice, and my color scheme was as follows – Rnd 1: Rose Shocking; Rnd 2: Lemon; Rnd 3: Radiant Lime; Rnd 4: Aquamarine; Rnd 5: Aqua; Rnd 6: Rose Shocking; Rnd 7: Lemon; Rnd 8: Radiant Lime; Rnd 9: Aquamarine; Rnd 10: Aqua; Rnd 11: Rose Shocking; Rnd 12: Lemon; Rnd 13: Radiant Lime; Rnd 14: Silver Grey.

    This square benefited from a light blocking. To block this square, I used the wet blocking method and a Chetnanigans BlocksAll Ultra blocking board.

        Hi Jeri! All you need to do to join is make the squares - though you are welcome to join the Facebook and the Ravelry groups too if you'd like! This year's CAL kicked off with this post (and there's tons of time to get caught up!): https://www.mooglyblog.com/cal-2018-1/

      Hello! I’m trying to find a complete continuous list of the square patterns for the 2017 Moogly CAL. Is there one that can be emailed to me? All I have found are individual links for each one and I’m wanting to print this out in one complete year so as to make it easier for the person I’m having make it for me. It would be easier to just hand her the written pages as she is a senior age person. It is a huge favor to have someone create this beautiful artwork and I just want to make it as easy as possible for her- thanks!

        Since they are all owned by different bloggers, the links are the best I can provide.
