    BLOCK #13: Spikey Circle Afghan Square by Julie Yeager
    (Click the name of the pattern above to go to the Ravelry link for this pattern)

    Spikey Circle Afghan Square - Block #13 in the Moogly Afghan Crochet-a-long!

    Above is the original, made with 3 colors. With the 4th of July right around the corner, I couldn't resist - it's like fireworks! As always with Ms. Yeager, this pattern is extremely well written.  Here's the one I made, using the same colors as the original (but not yet blocked):

    Now for my notes!
    • Be sure to read the designer's notes on page 2 - they explain an important difference in how this pattern is worked!
    • If you are unfamiliar with Spike Stitches, watch the Moogly video tutorial HERE before you begin this pattern.
    • In Round 10, read carefully - the spksc might sneak up on you like it did on me!
    • After Round 11, I had 11.25" rather than Julie's 10.5" - so I did sc rounds for the last two rows.
    • My color changes were exactly as written in the pattern.
    • For other color scheme ideas, be sure to check out the Ravelry gallery attached to the pattern page. So many great combos!
    I love the effect that the spike stitches give this square, and I hope you enjoy making it too!  If it isn't your thing, you can find a list of alternate free squares patterns by clicking HERE as well as a list of fantastic paid squares patterns by clicking HERE! Thanks so much for crocheting-a-long with me!

      I really like this design. Closed-in squares are my preference, and front post double crochet is one of my favorite stitch designs. Thanks for sharing this one with us!

      Looking at the photo again, I'm really not seeing FPDC, but I love the effect of the spikes and will definitely be making the Square. Thanks again. I love how you're finding all these great patterns.

      Hi Tamara,

      I've been doing the CAL this year but this summer has been a bit mental and so now I'm catching up! Block No. 13 now seems to be paid for rather than free - unless I am clicking in the wrong place! It doesn't matter as I assume I can do another block? You did have a link at one point offering other suggestions?

      Regards,
      Jane (Craft HIppy)

        Shoot, it looks like it is no longer free. 🙁 I'm sorry Jane! There are links to alternate squares at the bottom of the post.
