    The Details

    My Notes: Mary Beth's square is 3D without being weighty or thick - the light and loopy flower jumps right up at you! I love the combination of floral and geometric found here. As always, I know the variety of squares you all will make with this pattern will be amazing! Mary Beth's pattern is easy to follow, and a joy to make. I made one little change myself, switching the color changes for the crab stitch rows - and I used twisted single crochet instead!

    Helpful Links and Tutorials: Magic Circle, Standing Single Crochet, Standing Double Crochet, Front Loop Only and Back Loop Only, Chainless Starting Double Crochet, Crab Stitch, Twisted Single Crochet, and Seamless Finishing.

    Sizing: My square came to 12" 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 Susan Bates US-J, 6.0 mm Twist and Lock hook, and Red Heart With Love, and my color scheme was as follows (see pics for more info on placement):

    Rnds 1 - 7: White
    Rnds 8 - 11:
    Light Gray
    Rnds 12 - 15:
    Pewter
    Rnds 16 and 17: White

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

      I can't seem to get the pattern from the link on this site nor when I search Hooked for life for the 2023 Moogly CAL. Is anyone else having difficulty or can you help me access the pattern for block number 6?

        Hi Susan! The site seemed to be glitching for a few hours on Friday, but has been working since - I'm sorry about that, we're all pretty mystified on what happened, but glad it's back!
