    Published: Aug 20, 2015 by Tamara Kelly · 8 Comments

    Block #17 is here, and it's lovely! Even if you haven't gotten started yet, there's still time to join in, as blocks work up fast, and you'll find links to all the previous posts for the CAL in the schedule below! 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 #17: Esme's Winter Cottage by Dedri Uys, of Look At What I Made! CLICK HERE to go to the pattern page but first, read my notes below!
    Block #17 in the Moogly 2015 Afghan Crochet-Along!

    Above is one of the originals, she made a few different versions!  Here's the one I made, using all 6 of my colors:

    Now for my notes!

    • This pattern is complex, but if you read the instructions and take your time, it's a lot of fun! I love the unique construction, and I'm so pleases Dedri made this square for us. There are lots of photos to help you along the way too.
    • My square came out a perfect 12" including the optional last round. 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: Eggplant; Rnd 2: Aqua; Rnd3: Eggplant; Rnd 4: Aqua; Rnd 5: Eggplant; Rnd 6: Aqua; Rnd 7-8: Kelly Green; Rnd 9: Mustard; Rnd 10-11: Kelly Green; Rnd 12: Mustard; Rnd 13: Kelly Green; Rnd 14: Mustard; Rnd 15-16: Raspberry; Rnd 17: 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 received my very first newsletter today. I enjoyed reading all the articles. Thank you. I love all the granny square patterns and will jump in to catch up on making them in between doing four other projects I'm working on. Again, thank you and look forward to my next newsletter.

      Help, please. I couldn't get the hang of tthe criiss cross applesauce square s o I switched to Spiro star. It's beautiful, but I'm stuck on the picot. I found a great tutorial (thanks Tamara),but is for a borde and I just can't figure out the directions. If someone has made this and can help me with pictures, I'd be very grateful.
