    Introducing Block #23:  Picot Flower by Rhelena's Crochet Blog! CLICK HERE to go to the pattern page but first, read my notes below!
    Block #23 for the 2015 MooglyCAL!

    Above is Rhelena's square, in 4 colors! Here's the one I made, using all 6 of my colors:

    Block #23 for the 2015 MooglyCAL!

    Now for my notes!

    • To print this pattern or create a downloadable PDF, enter the pattern page URL into PrintFriendly.com.
    • Be sure to read through the notes and special stitch instructions at the beginning of the pattern.
    • My square was coming out a little bit small, so I added a round of dc after Round 11, and then it came out at 12". 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: Raspberry; Rnd 2: Mustard; Rnd 3: Kelly Green; Rnd 4: Aqua; Rnd 5-6: Eggplant; Rnd 7: Raspberry; Rnd 8: Mustard; Rnd 9: Kelly Green; Rnd 10: Aqua; Rnd 11: Eggplant; (extra added row of dc: Eggplant); Rnd 12: 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!

      Can't believe we are almost to the end!! I know last year you mentioned that you added an extra row of single crochet to the squares to get to 41 stitches on each square. Is that something you will do again? Will you do 41 again or a different number? Thanks for the feedback. I can't wait to start joining mine! (Especially since last years is still in pieces. Oops!)

        The year has flown by! I need to start planning 2016 soon! 😀 So re: the 41 sts/side. I came up with that number because I actually counted how many stitches I had on each square side already, and then found the average (or a number close to it that would work well). I haven't counted the stitches on the sides of the blocks so far, but I guess I'll be doing so soon! If they are all very close, I might even skip the extra round, as this time I planned ahead a little better and finished each block with a round of white yarn.
