Block #24:
Bold Bloom Square
by Blankets With Heart
Above is her square, in her 3 colors. Below is my CAL square, in my 6 colors!
The Details
My Notes: Lindsey has created a lovely, clear, easy-to-understand square. Which makes sense, as she's a tech editor as well as a designer! She has included a lot of helpful notes, so be sure to read them all before you begin.
Helpful Links and Tutorials: Magic Ring, Working into the 3rd loop, Extended Single Crochet, Standing Double Crochet, Chainless Starting Double Crochet, and Seamless Finishing.
Sizing: My square came out a bit small, so I added one more round of sc, working (sc, ch 2, sc) in each corner st. 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 -7: Cornsilk
Rnd 8: Iced Aqua
Rnds 1 - 3: Lettuce
Rnds 4 - 5: Iced Aqua
Rnds 6 - 8: White
Rnd 9: Lettuce
Rnds 10 - 11 (plus extra rnd): Pewter
This square required a little bit of blocking. I used the wet blocking method, or you could use light steam.

Now it is time to join your squares together, in the order and look of your choice! You can use whatever joining method you like - CLICK HERE to see a great list of 14 joining patterns for you to choose from!
And of course, we'll be back for 2023!
I'll be joining my squares together over the next month, and I'll come back and show off my finished blanket on December 30th, 2022, live! And at that time, I'll share the colors I've picked for 2023, as well as the schedule and other details.
If you've participated in past years, you've got a pretty good idea of how it will go. The only change we're making for 2023 is giving designers the choice of using Red Heart With Love or Caron One Pound. They are great substitutes for each other, and this way we'll have even more color choices!
