Block #3:

Heart Filled Square

by Moogly

Above is my first square, made in 2 colors! Below is my CAL square, in my 6 colors! (I still wanted to have two versions for you to see right away!)

The Details

My Notes: This pattern is mostly made using the granny stitch – with some added surface interest. There will be a video tutorial for both right and left-handed crocheters available February 4th (linked 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:

Row 1 – 4: Iced Aqua
Row 5 – 8: Lettuce
Row 9 – 12: Cornsilk
Row 13 – 20: Tangerine
Surrounding the Heart: White
Completing the Square Rnd 4: Pewter
Surface Single Crochet: Pewter

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