    Block #8:

    Striped Hourglass Square

    by Tamara Kelly on Moogly

    MooglyCAL2021 Block 8 - Striped Hourglass Square

    The Details

    My Notes: This square features cables and colorwork - and I've included alternate instructions for those who prefer a solid color! The last few rounds are easy to adjust so you get just the right size.

    Helpful Links and Tutorials: Crochet Abbreviations; Magic Circle; Join with sc (standing single crochet); Post Stitches; and see the specific stitch pattern tutorial links below.

    Sizing: 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: Lettuce
    Color B: Celtic
    Color C: Tangerine
    Color D: Eggshell

    This square required minimal blocking! I used the wet blocking method, or you could use light steam.

    The Pattern:

    CLICK HERE FOR A VIDEO TUTORIAL FOR THIS STITCH PATTERN - Please note that in this video, you carry your contrast color up the sides. In the square pattern, you cut your contrast color (B-D) after every row (unless working in just one or two colors).

    To print or download the pattern for free you can use the Print Friendly button if provided on the site or CLICK HERE for PrintFriendly.com and enter the pattern URL there.
