Block #21:
Rainbow Whoosh Square
by Mamas2Hands
Above, you can see the square that Andee made in 8 colors of Berroco Vintage! Below is my CAL square, in my 6 colors of Brava Worsted - Custard, Seashell, Fig, Denim, Espresso, and Cream!
Details for MooglyCAL2026 Block 21
My Notes: Andee loves a good spiral - and I love making her spiral designs! One requirement: a good supply of stitch markers. Be sure to use them as described - and don't take them out until it's called for! If you are using less than 8 colors, as I did, then you'll need to make a couple of bobbins when making the center spiral (or use the leftover bits from previous skeins). Watch out for some turns starting in Rnd 11!
Helpful Links and Tutorials: Crochet Abbreviations, Butterfly Bobbins, Standing Half Double Crochet, Loose Slip Stitches, 3rd Loop of the Hdc, Treble (tr), Back Loop, and seamless join.
Sizing: My square was almost at 12" after Rnd 17, so I skipped Rnds 18 - 20, and worked Rnd 21 in the back loop only.
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, Andee used Berroco Vintage 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):
Color A: Cream
Color B: Seashell
Color C: Custard
Color D: Fig
Color E: Denim
Color F: Espresso
Color G: Custard
Color H: Denim
This square needed only a little bit of blocking, so I used wet blocking.
