    The 2015 Moogly Afghan CAL: Block #13!

    Published: Jun 25, 2015 by Tamara Kelly · 5 Comments

    Time for lucky Block #13! We're officially on the downhill path, with only 11 more to go, 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!

    Once again, I'd like to thank Elke Wellens who is providing Dutch translations to all the designers - if you speak Dutch, check out the Dutch speaking Moogly CAL Facebook group! And a big thank you to allatti2d, Angela2011, HelenJE, and Patricia-R-S, who are moderating the Ravelry group for the 2015 Moogly CAL! Click either of those links to check the groups out! The Ravelry group is a BIG source of help if you need it!

    Introducing Block #13:  Granny's Shining Star by Elena Hunt of Beatrice Ryan Designs! CLICK HERE to go to the pattern page but first, read my notes below!
    Block #13 for the 2015 Moogly Afghan CAL! All blocks in the CAL are free!

     

    Above is the original, made in 3 bright and fun colors! I love the bold look of it. Here's the one I made, using all 6 of my colors - almost dry, but still on the blocking board:

    Now for my notes!

    • To print the pattern for free, look for the Print Friendly button at the bottom of the pattern!
    • This pattern is very well written, and easy to follow.  If you get confused by long sets of instructions, remember that once you have the first side made, you just do the same thing on the other 3 sides!
    • I came up short of 12" again - I am a tight crocheter! So I added a Round 12.5 - another round of 3 sets of dcs, worked into the center dc of each set in the previous round. Then I bumped up Rnd 13 to dc and Rnd 14 to hdc, and that did the trick. 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 1-4: Eggplant; Rnd 5-7: Aqua; Rnd 8-9: Kelly Green; Rnd 10-11: Mustard; Rnd 12 (and 12.5, added by me): Raspberry; Rnd 13-14: White.
    • If this one isn't to your taste, you can find a list of alternatives HERE, and another, newer list of alternatives HERE!

    Thanks so much for crocheting-along with me!

      I did round 13 twice in DC, did 14 in HDC, and then in sc to get to 12 inches! I find I usually have to follow your alterations in spite of using a 6mm hook, but this time I changed it up a bit. Really enjoying this CAL, first time I have done a year long one.
