My Notes: The Honey I'm Comb Square is one punny - and fun! This one has a video tutorial, and I do recommend you give it a watch. There are three special stitches used in this pattern, and their placement takes a watchful eye. But the result is worth it! The textured stitch in the center is gorgeous, albeit a bit of a yarn eater. The special cluster on the edging can be a little tricky - I kept dropping one loop off the hook before finishing the stitch. But again, it's a great stitch and one I'm squirreling away in my brain for future projects!

Sizing: My square needed one more repeat for the center to become square. Then, it was only at 11 inches after the first four rounds of the border, so I worked Rnd 5 as hdc instead of sc, and that got me to 12 inches. As you can see, everyone's gauge is different, so be sure to measure as you go! Learn how to adjust for size HERE to ensure all your squares are the same size. Remember that the 12″ is measured across and up and down, not diagonally/corner to corner.
Yarn Options: This year, our designers have chosen from a variety of yarns, including Brava Worsted, Swish Worsted, Jimmy Beans Wool Beanstalk, Berroco Vintage, and MadTosh Vintage. For this square, Marie and I used Brava Worsted!
What I Did:
I used a US-J, 6.0 mm crochet hook, and Brava Worsted yarn, and my color scheme was as follows (see pics for more info on placement):
Rows 1 and 2: Espresso
Rows 3 - 6: Denim
Rows 7 - 10: Fig
Rows 11 - 14: Custard
Rows 15 - 18: Seashell
Rows 19 - 22: Espresso
Rows 23 - 26: Denim
Rows 27 - 30: Fig
Rows 31 - 34: Custard
Additional Repeat: Seashell
Border Rnds 1 and 2: Cream
Rnd 3: Espresso
Rnds 4 and 5: Cream
This square needed only a little bit of blocking, so I used wet blocking.
