Welcome back to the Eye of the Storm Afghan CAL for Week 8! This week will complete 16 squares if you are making the large size… or 8+ if you are making one of the other sizes in this Crochet Along!
This weeks squares surprised me once again with how the colors worked in each square… I am getting so excited to put this afghan together to see how it turns out!
Each week when I randomly draw 6 colors from my 12 color palette, I am always surprised how they turn out!
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!
You can make this afghan at any time… Use your scrap yarn or plan you colors!
If you are seeing The Eye of the Storm CALfor 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 16 of the 24 Eye of the storm squares for the first 8 weeks!….
I’m not quite sure of my final layout yet… I may place them in the order I made them or move them all around!
Here is a short video of an upcoming pattern… Make sure to stay tuned and also check out all of my FREE PATTERNS in the Free Pattern Tab at the top of the website!
Here is a brief bit of info about this Crochet Along ~

Below are this weeks yarn(drawn randomly) and the squares they created!
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
