    #MooglyCAL2016: Afghan Block #6!

    Published: Mar 17, 2016 · Modified: Feb 14, 2022 by Tamara Kelly · Leave a Comment

    Celebrate St. Patrick's Day with a brand new block! It's time for block 6 of the 2016 Afghan Crochet-Along here on Moogly! This week's square is fun and easy!

    Get ready for the 2016 Moogly Afghan Crochet-Along! Starts January 7th!


    For those that are new to the Moogly Afghan CALs, here's how it works!

    • No need to sign up/officially join - just jump in and start crocheting! If you come in late, you can start where we are and catch up with missed blocks as we go!
    • A new block crochet pattern will be shared here on Moogly every 2 weeks, on Thursdays at 10am CST (the last one will be one day early due to American Thanksgiving). There is a schedule below, and the links will be added throughout the year. These will stay free online forever.
    • I will link to the designer's pattern below, share a photo of my version of their block, and give any helpful notes that are appropriate.
    • Each 12" square will be designed in worsted/aran weight yarn, with a 5.5mm hook. If you choose a different yarn weight/hook size, your blocks will be a different size, but as long as you are consistent, then the blocks should be too! For example, with DK weight yarn, you should get blocks that are about 10" in size.
    • French translation PDFs will also be provided on each designer's site, courtesy of Véronique HoRaive! Merci Véronique!
    • There is a Ravelry group for the CAL HERE, and a Facebook group HERE - all full of help and camaraderie! Thank you to all of the amazing volunteer moderators!

    Now for my notes!

    • To print this pattern or create a downloadable PDF, go to PrintFriendly.com and enter the URL for the block pattern! You can also cut and paste it into a Word document, or work it directly from the website.
    • This pattern is quick and easy, with stitch counts given at the end of each round.
    • My square was coming out a just a tiny little bit small for me, so I bumped up Round 11 to dc and added an Extra Rnd in sc - that brought me to 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: Seaspray Mist; Rnd 2: Denim Mist; Rnd 3: Purple Mist; Rnd 4: Tangerine Mist; Rnd 5: Rose Mist; Rnd 6: Seaspray Mist; Rnd 7: Denim Mist; Rnd 8: Tangerine Mist; Rnd 9: Purple Mist; Rnd 10: Rose Mist; Rnd 11: Denim Mist; Extra Rnd: Pearl Mist.
    • If this one isn't to your taste, you can find a  list of alternatives HERE!

    Thanks so much for crocheting-along with me!
