It's the 2015 Afghan Sampler! Crochet two squares per month and have a finished blanket in one year.
- The afghan will be comprised of twenty 9-inch squares.
- There will be five rows made up of four squares each. [Final size: approx. 36" x 45"]
- We will crochet ten sample-stitches.
- We will complete two squares each month using one sample-stitch.
New squares will be posted on the Last Tuesday of the month.All squares have been posted.- Each square will be a solid color, and each sample-stitch will be completed in two colors.*
- The final blanket will have a total of three colors.*
- You can stitch the squares in any order, but START WITH SQUARE 1. There you will find information on yarn amounts and color schemes.
*You may also opt to make a monochromatic afghan, one color is also a lovely look. OR maybe you want to go multicolored and use ten, or even twenty, colors. The choice is yours; I'll be working tri-color.
There's also a single, printable pattern with the entire set of directions in one place. The original twelve posts have been collected into one 11-page document and you can download the PDF here for just $4.99! Easily print it off to take with you wherever you may be.
The original patterns and posts for the 2015 CAL will remain on The Inspired Wren; now you have the option save it for yourself and reference an off-line version. What are you waiting for? Download the pattern and get the yarn on your hooks today!
