    Introducing Block #24:  Bullions In Bloom by Kati Donahue, of KatiDCreations! CLICK HERE to go to the pattern page but first, read my notes below!
    Block #24 in the 2015 Moogly CAL! Free!

    Above is Kati's square, in 3 colors! Here's the one I made, using all 6 of my colors. Alas, with the busy holiday season, I didn't get a chance to block it before I photographed it, but it still looks great!

    Block #24 in the 2015 Moogly CAL! Free!

     

    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. There are lots of tutorial links that are very helpful!
    • My square was coming out a little bit small, so I added a round of dc at the very end, 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:
      Square 1: Rnds 1-2: Mustard; Rnd 3: Raspberry; Rnd 4: Eggplant; Rnd 5: Aqua; Rnd 6: Eggplant; Rnd 7: Raspberry
      Square 2: Rnds 1-2: Kelly Green; Rnd 3: Mustard; Rnd 4: Aqua; Rnd 5: Eggplant; Rnd 6: Aqua; Rnd 7: Raspberry
      Square 3: Rnds 1-2: Aqua; Rnd 3: Kelly Green; Rnd 4: Mustard; Rnd 5: Raspberry; Rnd 6: Mustard; Rnd 7: Raspberry
      Square 4: Rnds 1-2: Eggplant; Rnd 3: Aqua; Rnd 4: Kelly Green; Rnd 5: Mustard; Rnd 6: Kelly Green; Rnd 7: Raspberry
      Joining the squares was done with Raspberry, and the edging (plus the extra round of dc) was done with 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'll be sharing my finished blanket as soon as it's done!

        I'm sorry it's giving you trouble, it's working at this end. Maybe copying and pasting this? http://katidcreations.com/bullions-in-bloom/

      Was wondering about joining the blocks. Will there be instructions or do we come up with our own joining

      I have finished! I used your poka dot border and a simulated braid for joining. I just couldn't get this last square to work for me, so I used an alternative. If I could make a suggestion for next year. Please have all the patterns able to be saved to pinterest. It is so much better to be able to save them all in one spot. Thanks for your work on this CAL. I really enjoyed the challenge of making squares that had so many different new stitches and techniques.

      Hi Tamara, thank you for all the wonderful patterns this year. I've enjoyed the CAL very much. I just have one question regarding the border once all the squares are joined - where can I find the link to the border?

        Thank you Odalyls, I'm so glad you've enjoyed it! You can use whatever border you like, but personally I'll be using my Polka Dot Border. 🙂

      This has been the MOST fun! I totally plan to participate again next year - although perhaps I'll only make 2 blankets instead of 4. I have to join the squares & do the border on one, but two are completed & ready for their recipients. The 4th one is mine, & my yarn got discontinued (Bernat Alpaca), so I'm considering what to do with it. Thanks for hosting - can't wait to see your final product!
