    The Details

    My Notes: This block features a brilliant use of post stitches! The instructions may look confusing, but if you take each step out a time it's really pretty simple! Be sure to read through all the special stitches before you begin.

    Helpful Links and Tutorials: Crochet Abbreviations; Post Stitches; Tall Stitches; FLO/BLO; Standing Double Crochet; Standing Half Double Crochet; Invisible Finishing.

    Sizing: My square reached 12" exactly as written.

    But remember, everyone's gauge and tension level are 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.

    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:

    Color A: Light Gray
    Color B: Aubergine
    Color C: White
    Color D: Lilac

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

      I could really use a blocking board. Where did you get yours?
