    We've counted all the way to 10! Almost half way there! But there's still time to join in, as blocks work up fast! If this is the first you've heard of the 2015 Moogly Afghan CAL, please CLICK HERE to read how it works! In summary, every 2 weeks I'll share a new free 12" crochet block pattern, and we'll all make them together. All the patterns will be free all year long, and we'll get to visit a variety of fantastic crochet blogs along the way!

    Introducing Block #10:  Whimsical Penelope's Merry Go Round by Celina Lane of Simply Collectible! CLICK HERE to go to the pattern page but first, read my notes below!
    Whimsical Penelope by Simply Collectible!

    Above is the original, made in 5 colors! This square is a big bold floral with some innovative stitching! Here's the one I made, using all 6 of my colors:

    Now for my notes!

    • To print the pattern for free, go to PrintFriendly.com and enter the URL of the pattern page to create a printable and downloadable copy.
    • The "background" stitches here are a fun variation on the single crochet - similar to the Center Double Crochet I posted about earlier this year! And the great thing is, you can keep adding or subtract as needed to get to 12" - easy peasy.
    • I had my color scheme planned out, but came up a bit short of 12", so I made Round 12 in dc instead of hdc, and added an extra row of regular dc as well. But everyone is different so be sure to measure as you go! Learn more about adjusting for size HERE. Remember that the 12″ is measured across and up and down – not diagonally corner to corner.
    • I used Lion Brand Vanna's Choice, and my color order was as follows: Rnd 1: White; Rnd 2-3: Raspberry; Rnd 4: Mustard; Rnd 5: Kelly Green; Rnd 6: Aqua; Rnd 7: Eggplant; Rnd 8: Raspberry; Rnd 9: Mustard; Rnd 10: Kelly Green; Rnd 11: Aqua; Rnd 12: Eggplant; Rnd 13: White; Rnd 14 (added): White.
    • If this one isn't to your taste, you can find a list of alternatives HERE.

    Thanks so much for crocheting-along with me!

      Gorgeous square! I noticed in this pattern it says to use a size "J" hook. We've been using "I" hooks for all the other squares; I wonder if that's why yours came out a bit on the small size? I can't wait to get started on this one tonight!

        I got gauge with an I hook, but it could very well be!

      Totally in love with this square! The flower like center is right up my alley! I seriously need to try this and use an art yarn in the center to make that flower portion just jump out at you!

      help! I cannot get the bobbles to look right...I feel like I'm totally following the instructions but they don't look right. Also I have the right number of wrong looking bobbles but it won't lie flat. It just looks like clusters of treble crochets not the bobbles in the pictures.

        One trick I've found to help them pop is to pull the yarn on the final yarn over super tight!

      I love this block! But WHERE is the pattern? Lots of notes here, but NO pattern. Click on 'printer friendly' and I get a print friendly shot of this same page! Have gone round and round with links and have yet to find the PATTERN!

        Sorry for the trouble! If you look at where it says "Introducing Block #10: Whimsical Penelope’s Merry Go Round by Celina Lane of Simply Collectible! CLICK HERE to go to the pattern page but first, read my notes below!" Right before the first block photo, you'll want to click where it says "CLICK HERE".
