Block #17:

Farewell Square

by Lorene Eppolite

Above is Lorene's Square, in 4 colors. Below is my CAL square, in my 6 colors!

The Details

My Notes: Lorene used to blog at Cre8tion Crochet, but has since moved on to become the CEO of Furls! So it's a real treat to be able to host her pattern for this year's CAL right here on Moogly. It's a really fun square to make, with great texture. And it's perfect for learning a few new crochet skills!

Helpful Links and Tutorials: Magic Circle, Chainless Starting Double Crochet in Magic Circle, Chainless Starting Double Crochet (in a st), Ex-dc Sts, Post Sts, Standing Double Crochet, BLO - Back Loop Only, and Seamless Finishing.

Sizing: I was just a bit short on size, so I bumped the last round up to hdc instead of sc. However, everyone's gauge and tension levels 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 (see pics for more info on placement):

Rnd 1 and 2: Tangerine
Rnd 3 and 4: Cornsilk
Rnd 5 and 6: Lettuce
Rnd 7 and 8: Iced Aqua
Rnd 9: White
Rnd 10 and 11: Pewter

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