Eye of the Storm Afghan CAL Week 4! Wow, already 8 squares and I love mine! My chosen colors are a chaos scheme using 12 colors, and randomly drawing 6 colors for each square!

I hope if you aren’t making this crochet along, you are following along… You will find the schedule and details below if you want to get started… So easy to keep up each week… Just 1 or 2 squares a week depending on the size afghan you want!

If you are seeing this for the first time… This is a Crochet Along that goes for a total of 15 weeks… You can choose how many squares you want to make and the size of your project… You will make 1 or 2 squares per week depending on what you choose. I am making the large afghan with 24 squares… 4 across x 6 down. Each square is 12″ x 12″, so my approximate size will be 56″ x 80″ with the joining and border.

Below are my first 8 squares for the first 4 weeks!….

BUT, I have a confession! Last week Frank and I went on vacation… When I came home to make my squares for this week, I grabbed the wrong size hook and when I went to block the squares they were 2 inches smaller than the others… UGH! I still need to remake them, but for the pics I really stretched them lol! I guess I was tired from vacay!

Here is a brief bit of info about this Crochet Along ~

Each block is approximately 12″ x 12″. Then there is joining allowance and the border. The border will be approximately 6 total inches and joining is just a couple of extra inches.

Blocks

• 3 x 4 (12 blocks) Afghan 44″ x 56″ Make 1 Block Per Week
• 3 x 5 (15 blocks) Afghan 44″ x 68″ Make 2 Blocks This Week
• 4 x 5 (20 blocks) Afghan 56″ x 68″ Make 2 Blocks This Week
• 4 x 6 (24 blocks) Afghan 56″ x 80″ Make 2 Blocks This Week

I have chosen to make mine in the whimsical chaos style! What is that? I purchased yarn kits with 12 colors of Red Heart Super Saver that all go together on Amazon. I made a small card for each color(see my pics) and for each square I am randomly drawing 6 cards. I make the square in the order of how I pulled the card for A, B, C, D, E and F colors.

I purchased this yarn kit(4 of them) from Amazon for my CAL Afghan… Click here if you want to see this yarn on Amazon
