Eye Of The Storm Afghan CAL ~ Week 3!

Eye Of The Storm Afghan CAL ~ Week 3!

Eye of the Storm Afghan CAL… Week 3! We are up to a total of 6 blocks at week 3. I hope you are enjoying this CAL whether you are making on or just following along with me!

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 6 squares for the first 3 weeks!

Weeks 1-3 CAL

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

Yarn

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
