Block #2: Festive Julie Ann
by Linda Dean Crochet

Above is the original made in 4 colors! Below, you can see my version, made with my 4 colors!

The Details:

My Notes: This pattern is pretty simple, with the most difficult stitch being a long post stitch worked two rows below - be sure to read over the special stich instructions before you begin! Also, be sure to note that you do not skip a stitch of the previous row - you work into each stitch of the previous row *plus* make the post stitches.

Sizing: This one was coming out a bit small for me, so I added an extra round of hdc and then it came out 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.

What I Did: I used a Furls US-J, 6.0 mm hook and Red Heart With Love, and my color scheme was as follows – Rnd 1 and 2: Navy; Rnd 3: White; Rnd 4: Bluebell; Rnd 5: True Blue; Rnd 6: Navy; Rnd 7: White; Rnd 8: Bluebell; Rnd 9: True Blue; Rnd 10: Navy; Rnd 11: White; Extra Rnd: White.

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