    #MooglyCAL2017: Afghan Block #5

    Published: Mar 2, 2017 by Tamara Kelly · 7 Comments

    The Moogly Afghan CAL lasts for the first 11 months of the year, so that the last month can be spent joining and edging the final blanket. And believe it or not... we're on month #3 already! Time flies when you're having fun, and I know you're going to have fun making block #5!

    Moogly Crochet Along 2017! Get all 24 patterns FREE over the course of the year, and have a gorgeous handmade blanket by the holidays!

    First a quick summary and some important links:

    • No need to sign up/officially join – just jump in and start crocheting! Work at your own pace. To learn more about the yarn used for this CAL and other details CLICK HERE!
    • The blocks will stay free online forever. Each post will have links to all past block posts as well as the newest block.
    • Each 12″ square is designed in worsted/aran weight yarn, with a US-J, 6.0 mm hook. If you choose a different yarn weight/hook size, your blocks will be a different size, but as long as you are consistent, then the blocks should be too! For example, with DK weight yarn, you should get blocks that are about 10″ in size. Get creative with color and make it your own!
    • There is a Ravelry group for the CAL HERE, and a Facebook group HERE – all full of help and camaraderie! Thank you to all of the amazing volunteer moderators! It’s a great place to go if you need more help with a particular design!

    My Notes:

    • This pattern is free - CLICK HERE FOR THE PATTERN - to print or download, look for the green Print Friendly button at the very bottom of the post, below the social sharing buttons.
    • This pattern was a bit more involved, but super well written and fun to make! Be sure to read the special stitch definitions! Take your time with this one, it's fantastic!
    • I did come up just the tiniest bit short (which is very normal for me), so I bumped up Round 12 to hdc instead of sc, and that got me right to 12". Everyone is different so be sure to measure as you go! 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.
    • Techniques you can use with this square if you'd like, and tutorials you might find helpful: Magic Circle; Keeping a Magic Circle Closed; Treble Stitch; Standing Double Crochet; Chainless Starting Double Crochet; Seamless Join.
    • I used Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice, and my color scheme was as follows – Rnd 1: Rose Shocking; Rnd 2: Lemon; Rnd 3: Rose Shocking; Rnd 4: Radiant Lime; Rnd 5: Aquamarine; Rnd 6: Radiant Lime; Rnd 7: Aquamarine; Rnd 8: Aqua; Rnd 9: Rose Shocking; Rnd 10: Aqua; Rnd 11: Lemon; Rnd 12: Aqua; Rnd 13: Rose Shocking; Rnd 14: Radiant Lime; Rnd 15: Silver Grey.
    • To block this post, I used the wet blocking method and a Chetnanigans BlocksAll Ultra blocking board - CLICK HERE to learn how to block your squares!

    Thanks so much for crocheting-along with me! I can't wait to see all the beautiful blankets you crochet this year!

      Please check directions for round 7 (in block #5). I think they're missing a repeat of (6 hdc in the back bar, sl st in ch1 sp) on each side. The stitch count summary is correct, but adding up the stitches in the directions comes up 4 sl st & 24 hdc short.

      So I finally have the time (and extra cash) to get started on the CAL but I can't find where it says how much yarn needed to complete the entire project. (I know I saw it back in January.) If you wouldn't mind posting it again for me I would truly appreciate it. Thanks so much!
