    The Details

    My Notes: The Floating Star Afghan Square is a well-written square, with some great tips and a full abbreviation list included. As always, be sure to read everything before you begin! Rnd 8, in particular, might have you second-guessing the pattern (or maybe it was just me)... but trust it! It all works out! And the result is a lovely crochet block.

    I did make one small change and add an extra ch at the corners of the final round, because I know that works best with my preferred joining method. However, I neglected to pin out my picots when blocking - you can see the difference between the squares!

    Helpful Links and Tutorials: Chainless Starting Double Crochet in the Magic Ring, Chainless Starting Double Crochet, Picots, and Seamless Finishing.

    Sizing: I got to 12 inches as written, but everyone's gauge is 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):

    Rnds 1 - 3: Tangerine
    Rnds 4 and 5: Cornsilk
    Rnds 6 and 7: Lettuce
    Rnds 8 and 9: Iced Aqua
    Rnds 10 and 11: White
    Rnds 12 - 14: Pewter

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