The Circled Granny Square is the January 2016 BAMCAL 6 inch block. You can find the free pattern HERE. I had trouble printing off the pattern so I had to copy and paste the text into a document to get it to print. The BAMCAL step-by-step pictures really helped me with this first square.
The first set I made was in my Red Magnolia Splash color-way. I really like how these colors are looking together. This was a fun, easy square to make. Mine came out a bit on the large size at 6.5 inches so instead of using a dc on the last round I used a sc. It should be fine once joined with my other squares.
I decided to make 4 of the 6 inch squares and join them into a 12 inch 4-patch square to use in my afghan. The plan is to do this with the 6 inch pattern each month of the CAL.
My second set of blocks each month will be what I'm calling "Colorful". This yarn is Red Heart with Love in a variety of colors. I'm trying to pick them at random as I'm crocheting so I really don't know how the final blocks will look!
And here is the final 4-patch of the Colorful set. I'll be using white to edge each square of this set and also for joining.
I'm loving making these squares!

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing at Creative Mondays, pinning :)
I love granny squares. I even love making granny squares. I fear the joining them all together. Joining them in a sort of "as you go" fashion is a great idea.
ReplyDeleteoo pretty blocks, I love the mix of colours you've chosen with the blue ones
ReplyDeleteThey look great, I love granny squares!
