Block 14 worked up quickly for my
Squares Sampler Crochet Blocks
This the second block in this bobble stitch pattern for
7th Pattern Stitch @ The Inspired Wren Crochet Along.
This block is now drying on my blocking board overnight.
It measured very close to 12" but I block all my blocks so they will
stitch together well when it comes tome to assemble my afghan.
In my last post I said I would talk a little about the adjustments I have made because I am using
which is worsted weight yarn.
In the
which I am following to make these blocks, the yarn is
Caron Simply Soft, which is a light weight worsted yarn.
The original pattern also calls for size H - 8 crochet hook
and the blocks measure 9 inches.
and I am using a Size J
My blocks are measuring 12 inches square.
My block has 17 bobbles per row and 18 rows, as specified in the pattern.
As I started my row with a Foundation Single Crochet (FSC) row,
I did have to make a small adjustment to the instructions:
I started with 34 FSC, instead of 36 chain stitches.
For my first row I chain stitched 3 chains before starting my first bobble.
When using a FSC start I look at how the rows are turned to determine how many stitches I need to start my pattern.
I hope this information is helpful to anyone who may wish to follow along with how I am making my afghan.
As with quilting, I always find what works best for me when I crochet and use this as my guide.
May you find what works best for you in your creative place.
Happy Hooking!
