    Block #9 in the MooglyCAL2018 - get all 24 free crochet patterns made with Red Heart With Love, and create a keepsake this year!

    My Notes:

    CLICK HERE for the pattern! To print or download the pattern for free you can use the green Print Friendly button provided at the bottom of the pattern, or you can 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 features a special stitch, so be sure to look for the definition for that in the instructions. The pattern is very well written and easy to follow - and I love the mix of stitches here!

    Techniques and tutorials you might find helpful: Crochet Abbreviations; Magic Ring; Join with dc; Join with hdc; Join with sc; Tr sts; Crossed Stitches; Seamless finishing.

    My square was coming out just a hair small, so I changed the final round to hdc instead of sc - and that got me to 12". 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: Hot Pink; Rnd 3: Tigerlily; Rnd 4-5: Lettuce; 6: Iced Aqua; Rnd 7: Holly Berry; Rnd 8: Hot Pink; Rnd 9: Tigerlily; Rnd 10-12: Lettuce; Rnd 13: Iced Aqua; Rnd 14-15: Holly Berry; Rnd 16: Fruit Punch.

    This square benefited from a gentle 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! You can follow Moogly on Facebook, Twitter, G+, Pinterest, Instagram, and Tumblr, and don't forget to sign up for the free newsletter at the top of the page! Thank you to Red Heart for providing the yarn for this crochet along.
