BLOCK #5: Lion’s Mane

Lion's Mane Afghan Square - the first March square in the 2014 Moogly Afghan Crochet-a-Long!

This pattern looks wonderful in a solid color, as shown, or in as many color as you can get! I used all four of my colors on my version, seen below – unblocked, so a little bit wobbly. When I made mine, it came up just a bit short, so I worked Round 14 in double crochet and followed it with a round of single crochet. Once again, be sure to take your own measurements and work your last row or two as needed!

What I hope you can see here is the great texture in Rounds 3 and 9 – be sure to push the treble stitch forward when you make the single crochet in the next stitch to really make it pop! This pattern was interesting to make, without being difficult – fast and fun! To see other color layout ideas, be sure to check out the Ravelry Gallery – lots of inspiration there!

    I’m also really enjoying this square. I find that to get the treble to pop out the way I like it, it is best to turn the work and do those rows in the opposite direction since they otherwise want to “pop” out the back for me…

    I finally got around to making this one~~when I originally read your post I had no clue what you meant by popping the treble, but it was obvious once I got to the first set, how cool is that! Thank you so much for mentioning it, I would not have known otherwise. Keep up the great work, I love your blog!
