    My Notes:

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

    This pattern is like a walk in the part - plenty to keep you interested while still being a nice break from anything too strenuous. It's a little different, but will blend well with the other squares!

    Techniques and tutorials you might find helpful: Crochet Abbreviations; Magic Circle; Chainless Starting Double Crochet; Standing Double Crochet; Standing Single Crochet.

    My square came out to 12" perfectly just as written! 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 US-J, 6.0 mm hook and Red Heart With Love, and my color scheme was as follows – Rnd 1-2: Holly Berry; Rnd 3: Tigerlily; Rnd 4-6: Lettuce; Rnd 7: Iced Aqua; Rnd 8-10: Hot Pink; Rnd 11: Holly Berry; Rnd 12-14: Fruit Punch.

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

    If you share your photos on social media, be sure to use the hashtag #mooglycal2018 and tag me @mooglyblog so I can see them too! Thank you all for CAL-ing with me!

    Chetnanigans Blocking Boards make crochet squares better than ever!

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

Thank you to Red Heart for providing the yarn for this crochet along.
