Block #13:
Elmview Afghan Square
by Pamela Stark on Sincerely Pam
Above are her squares, made in both 2 colors, and one color. Below is my square, in my 4 colors!
The Details
My Notes: This square is crocheted from one corner to the other - and you can change the colors whenever and however you like! I chose to use 3 of my colors for the rows of the square so that I was able to change colors every row and float the colors along the sides. But you could do one color, color blocking, whatever you like - I can't wait to see all the options!

Sizing: My square came out to the right size as written - this square is pretty easy to get right here due to the unique construction! But 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:
Inner Square: Cycle through Eggshell, Celtic, and Tangerine every row
Round 10: Lettuce
This square required a strong blocking! I used the wet blocking method, or you could use light steam.
