It's the last week of the Memories CAL already!! I can't believe we are already at the last two patterns to be released (Section 5 and the Border). Let's soak up as much as we can this week and finish this awesome Memory off with a bang!</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><b>The fourth textured section:</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">If you missed Section 4, click the picture below to go to the pattern: </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://bizzycrochet.blogspot.com/2024/03/memories-blanket-section-4.html" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs2Fl3Pll2y12do2LZ-NYtK09DeDGpAX9V9OKVVZCq3EIk_rL5l3SPlexvccPCFVu7TUCZ4AeduEGIwtNyuy0RwbbgRoclBIFIdCly2sdXUOB_c9CqRS8rYK-PfuyegyeJjEunrvETIt0JwhGt66__wO_OYgQgQL-bpmWVbHiGaFp7PfTaaHEuww/s320/Section%204.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">If you have already completed Section 4, we can move on to Section 5. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium; text-align: justify;">Section 5 doesn't have anything that should throw you off at this point. The first portion of this section is going to be rows of single crochet with FPtr in strategic spots that will create a textured diamond. The second portion will be mostly sc's, chains, and dc's. The stitches themselves are something I know that you will be comfortable with. The most fun part of Section 5 is being able to play with colors.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium; text-align: justify;">The only big tip I have for you is to make sure you watch closely which stitch post you put your first FPtr around as that will inform the rest of your stitches...and don't forget to skip the sc's behind the FPtr's. If you don't, you will add stitches to your rows. </span></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><b style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Let's talk colors! </b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">For this section, I used a solid in the diamond textured portion because solids seem to show off the texture better. But, in the second portion, I used four different colors because that portion just "calls" for colors! </span><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Contrasting Color 1 (CC1) is Light Sage, Contrasting Color 2 (CC2) is Brown, Contrasting Color 3 (CC3) is Turquoise, Contrasting Color 4 (CC4) is Sungold, Contrasting Color 5 (CC5) is Cranberry, and my Main Color (MC) is Ivory. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Have fun playing with the subtle textures created by the colors in this section!</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><b>If you want the whole pattern now:</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">We have made the entire pattern available to you now in a PDF upgrade that includes charts and bonus video links, as well as being available to download in either US or UK terms. It is available for the discounted price of $11.99 through the length of the CAL. You are not required to purchase the PDF- as the patterns will be forever free to view on our blogs in US terms. But, if you ever find yourself in need of extra guidance or inspiration, or you just want it all in one place, don't forget that the option is there to upgrade.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">MAKE SURE YOU DOUBLE-CHECK WHICH VERSION YOU ARE CLICKING!!!</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Because of the digital nature of the product, there are no refunds.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://madamestitch.thrivecart.com/memories-blanket-full-pattern-uk-terms/" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="picture is the button to purchase the UK version" border="0" data-original-height="200" data-original-width="600" height="134" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGW7zsBkaK0bk4ESWtkOGoyQYAiW0T_zwnn6N6uscH3174ktt5dUdTbEaoqTDYxeAxbzBL91uUuaJKEJgJRPMk0LDYeXVtyI_W2yAf9FlDSQfWFtiAFvULS9CPyrlIEfIoB0kh1pRLpHIkgxChJMQ9G1HZ2iNC3sRWBLkNI_XI3GgXwyWr5nafaQ/w400-h134/PDF%20upgrade%20UK%20version.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://madamestitch.thrivecart.com/memories-blanket-full-pattern-us-terms/" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="picture is the button to purchase the US version" border="0" data-original-height="200" data-original-width="600" height="134" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieA2YKstl_mzlF4hJcVuZqfSqvd7yJ5JEsp2zSnUIxsg5K46KEMO_5TQjuheaU58My3vTuWfMYCkR0CDida07KpHpygyufKnofvMUI4J5Ghkgi-_uGmo5LsMLEe40ikATzTIzbKOErk6vdmU_a7BxmI4O9eJWPglE8tPpygsPS4B0DyWJJzXFY7w/w400-h134/PDF%20upgrade%20US%20version.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">So, are you ready to dive into Section 5? </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Grab your yarn, your hook, and let's keep building a Memory!! </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span></span></p><a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><div></div></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><b><span class="Heading3Char"></span></b></span></p><br /><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><div style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEtKOOpYNcMUZWK22jCrLzeHySVm4gYVvgr4Rp58ht3V7XAzdpsZAdkoprIJjszKcyFkOGH2_FK4LP8RymxbwyNPBUYMRowrmaMu9JwWhSLqOZNBODJQByjOwZFSRo4mmsq0FScC4LwgI_YNSpBxcG-NxIVDez0HLkBxOtdFVZ6YRfhRlw65cLpw/s1080/Section%205.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="picture shows the textured section 5." border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEtKOOpYNcMUZWK22jCrLzeHySVm4gYVvgr4Rp58ht3V7XAzdpsZAdkoprIJjszKcyFkOGH2_FK4LP8RymxbwyNPBUYMRowrmaMu9JwWhSLqOZNBODJQByjOwZFSRo4mmsq0FScC4LwgI_YNSpBxcG-NxIVDez0HLkBxOtdFVZ6YRfhRlw65cLpw/w400-h400/Section%205.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></span></div></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><v:shapetype coordsize="21600,21600" filled="f" id="_x0000_t75" o:preferrelative="t" o:spt="75" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" stroked="f"><v:stroke joinstyle="miter"><v:formulas><v:f eqn="if lineDrawn pixelLineWidth 0"><v:f eqn="sum @0 1 0"><v:f eqn="sum 0 0 @1"><v:f eqn="prod @2 1 2"><v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelWidth"><v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelHeight"><v:f eqn="sum @0 0 1"><v:f eqn="prod @6 1 2"><v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelWidth"><v:f eqn="sum @8 21600 0"><v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelHeight"><v:f eqn="sum @10 21600 0"></v:f></v:f></v:f></v:f></v:f></v:f></v:f></v:f></v:f></v:f></v:f></v:f></v:formulas><v:path gradientshapeok="t" o:connecttype="rect" o:extrusionok="f"><o:lock aspectratio="t" v:ext="edit"></o:lock></v:path></v:stroke></v:shapetype><v:shape alt="A close up of a crochet pattern

It feels like this is going too fast now. *sad face* But, this week's pattern is going to be a relaxing make right before we ramp up to finish the blanket completely!</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><b>The fourth (and final) square:</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">If you haven't done it already, make sure you grab the link to the fourth and final square of the CAL, the Front Post Square. You'll need to complete your second 8-square strip to continue with the Section 4 pattern. Click the picture below to get this pattern:</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.madamestitch.com/memories-blanket-front-post-afghan-square/" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="picture of a peach colored square made with front post stitches." border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnSe_sQRepgJccC10xmERpUPpBtMI1JpRgjWeT32AwYJktyt8xAlkLQ4FbhPPkl60sxAW5td4BB2qNqbSp5FGdB8dz0WlmudurNGtxiL0c58bu4fi4aURuGqY9UmX69b-uC27aZj04diiTdqgpJMplWfuEf9e8IjYx8tt5eGM1ZSOIV1gbiNdNaA/w400-h400/Front%20Post%20Square.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium; text-align: justify;">If you have already completed your 8 square strip- then, it's time to focus on putting an edge on your squares, attaching it to Section 3 (instructions provided below in the pattern), and moving on to Section 4. </span></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Section four is going to be such an easy section for you. This one only uses double crochets and front post double crochets. And after making the Front Post Square, you should be able to tackle this section, no problem. :) There is just a little bit of open work with some chain one spaces in the very first part of Section 4, then you will finish up with the Waffle Stitch in the second part. If you LOVE chunky crochet pieces, then this is the one for you!</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">There really aren't any super tips or tricks that come along with this section. It is really very straightforward as to what you will be doing and the instructions are very simple. :)</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Let's talk colors! </b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">For this section, I used solids in both patterns. If you really want to infuse color changes into either section, this would be a great place to bring in a variegated or some other sort of color-changing yarn. </span><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Contrasting Color 1 (CC1) is Sungold, Contrasting Color 2 (CC2) is Toasted Almond, and my Main Color (MC) is Ivory. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Enjoy the simplicity of this section. It's another part of the blanket that helps bring some 'calm' to the "color chaos"- hahaha!</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><b>If you want the whole pattern now:</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">We have made the entire pattern available to you now in a PDF upgrade that includes charts and bonus video links, as well as being available to download in either US or UK terms. It is available for the discounted price of $11.99 through the length of the CAL. You are not required to purchase the PDF- as the patterns will be forever free to view on our blogs in US terms. But, if you ever find yourself in need of extra guidance or inspiration, or you just want it all in one place, don't forget that the option is there to upgrade.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">MAKE SURE YOU DOUBLE-CHECK WHICH VERSION YOU ARE CLICKING!!!</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Because of the digital nature of the product, there are no refunds.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://madamestitch.thrivecart.com/memories-blanket-full-pattern-uk-terms/" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="picture is the button to purchase the UK version" border="0" data-original-height="200" data-original-width="600" height="134" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGW7zsBkaK0bk4ESWtkOGoyQYAiW0T_zwnn6N6uscH3174ktt5dUdTbEaoqTDYxeAxbzBL91uUuaJKEJgJRPMk0LDYeXVtyI_W2yAf9FlDSQfWFtiAFvULS9CPyrlIEfIoB0kh1pRLpHIkgxChJMQ9G1HZ2iNC3sRWBLkNI_XI3GgXwyWr5nafaQ/w400-h134/PDF%20upgrade%20UK%20version.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://madamestitch.thrivecart.com/memories-blanket-full-pattern-us-terms/" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="picture is the button to purchase the US version" border="0" data-original-height="200" data-original-width="600" height="134" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieA2YKstl_mzlF4hJcVuZqfSqvd7yJ5JEsp2zSnUIxsg5K46KEMO_5TQjuheaU58My3vTuWfMYCkR0CDida07KpHpygyufKnofvMUI4J5Ghkgi-_uGmo5LsMLEe40ikATzTIzbKOErk6vdmU_a7BxmI4O9eJWPglE8tPpygsPS4B0DyWJJzXFY7w/w400-h134/PDF%20upgrade%20US%20version.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">So, are you ready to dive into Section 4? </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Grab your yarn, your hook, and let's keep building a Memory!! </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span></span></p><a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><div></div></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><b><span class="Heading3Char"></span></b></span></p><br /><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><div style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2dtdIXn635GD1nzn6J41I5tZQAi0rtB0jSkEHyXDlYYP-oRSChwOZi7hMuhuwCjMAc1qLxICuRi8IUtjz88E7803MSDieMvAce_MMrZCYuopmJLqx0jbeoxe2KHvINJK7RvExLhYbd-P0WqOEuAuPxjtiQ7PvXozRCsjAnh8GVHSA7h1L4WIo8g/s1080/Section%204.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="picture of section 4 of the blanket highlighting a yellow crocheted section with some small holes and a brown crocheted section with the waffle stitch." border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2dtdIXn635GD1nzn6J41I5tZQAi0rtB0jSkEHyXDlYYP-oRSChwOZi7hMuhuwCjMAc1qLxICuRi8IUtjz88E7803MSDieMvAce_MMrZCYuopmJLqx0jbeoxe2KHvINJK7RvExLhYbd-P0WqOEuAuPxjtiQ7PvXozRCsjAnh8GVHSA7h1L4WIo8g/w400-h400/Section%204.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b>Note: Before we get started on Section 4, we need to put an edge on the top and bottom of our Front Post Square strip. </b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b>Front Post Square Edges-</b> Instructions are the same for the top &

Seriously, this section up against the row of Rustic squares is my favorite part of the blanket. It gives me boho, comfy pajama vibes. It starts out with a fun gingham pattern that gives you an opportunity to pull in some of your staple colors, and it finishes up with the Spike Stitch. Both of them use simple stitches like the double crochets and single crochets. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">A couple things to watch out for are: you will be carrying your work along with the gingham portion, so there will be multiple color changes, and the Spike Stitch section uses a long single crochet method that works around the complete body of single crochet rows before. You don't have to try and work around stitch posts or special loops, you just go right into the indicated hole and complete your single crochet by pulling your loop up until it reaches the row you're currently on. It's a pretty satisfying stitch when you get into it. :)</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"> </span><b style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Let's talk colors! </b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">For this section, I wanted to go off of the beaten "plaid" path and use colors that aren't seen together a lot. I felt like I had enough of the browns in my blanket at this point, so I leaned on my greens to do the gingham section. Contrasting Color 1 (CC1) is Light Sage, Contrasting Color 2 (CC2) is the Dark Olive, and Contrasting Color 3 (CC3) is Sungold. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The secret about working plaids or ginghams is to have two colors in the same family (ligh green/dark green or light red/dark red) and have those be the first two colors you work with. Then you can choose a third color (like black, white, or in my case, yellow) that will work well as that pop of color that turns your first two into a plaid/gingham. If you are looking to get a Buffalo plaid look- the traditional colors, according to the experts, is black and red. Anything else is considered a gingham.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Contrasting Color 4 (CC4) is Cranberry the final Contrasting Color 5 (CC5) is Brown. I put the Main Color between the Cranberry and Brown to keep it from being too dark and moody, but it was definitely time to make the red stand out and these colors make me think of chocolate covered cherries. Yum.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Have fun with your colors! Don't let the fear of putting the "wrong" colors next to each other hold you back...they are all part of the same rainbow!</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><b>If you want the whole pattern now:</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">We have made the entire pattern available to you now in a PDF upgrade that includes charts and bonus video links, as well as being available to download in either US or UK terms.

The first portion of the pattern focuses on the Interlocked Diamond stitch, which can be a little tricky to start with but once you have the stitch pattern down- it's so much fun! It truly makes you feel like a crochet genius in the end because it's so simple to do, but looks way more intricate. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">There is a helper video linked below for you to get the hang of working the Interlocked Diamond, and unless you're already familiar with how to work it, I recommend giving it a look. The rest of the second section will focus on rows of chunky clusters and US dc's. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><b>Let's talk colors! </b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">For this section, I varied my colors up a bit more. I stuck with my Main Color (MC) in Ivory, but I used more contrasting colors to start incorporating more of the colors I used for the Cordelia Squares. Contrasting Color 1 (CC1) was the nutty brown again, Contrasting Color 2 (CC2) was the cheerful orange, Contrasting Color 3 (CC3) was bright turquoise, Contrasting Color 4 (CC4) was a light sage color, and Contrasting Color 5 (CC5) was a mustardy gold yellow. Of course, feel free to let your imagination run wild and incorporate as many colors as your heart desires!</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">As you work through Section 2, take your time with the new stitches and savor each skill you learn or continue to master.

We'll be incorporating some classic crochet stitches like double crochet, single crochet, chains, and topstitching to create something truly special. There will be light texture in this section- but lots of fun color pops!</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><b>So, let's talk colors! </b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">One of the best parts of this CAL is the freedom to choose your own color palette. For my blanket, I envisioned a cozy mix of warm tones and vibrant pops of color. I did a Main Color (MC) of ivory, and I used a Contrasting Color 1 (CC1) in a rich nutty brown, Contrasting Color 2 (CC2) was a deep cranberry, Contrasting Color 3 (CC3) was a bright turquoise, and Contrasting Color 4 (CC4) was a cheerful burnt orange. Of course, feel free to let your imagination run wild and incorporate as many colors as your heart desires!</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">As you work through Section 1, take your time to savor each stitch and embrace the joy of creating something beautiful with your own two hands. And remember, this CAL is all about celebrating memories, so don't hesitate to infuse your blanket with personal touches and sentimental flair.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><b>If you want the whole pattern now:</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">We have made the entire pattern available to you now in a PDF upgrade that includes charts and bonus video links, as well as being available to download in either US or UK terms. It is available for the discounted price of $11.99 through the length of the CAL. You are not required to purchase the PDF- as the patterns will be forever free to view on our blogs in US terms.

Well, get those hooks ready because I'm thrilled to introduce you to the Memories Blanket Crochet Along (CAL)!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The Memories CAL was dreamt up by myself and my good friend Debbie of Madamestitch. We were trying to think of ways that we could combine our two very different personal styles into one pattern, and I think we did a pretty bang-up job!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Debbie has a very smooth, calm design style and mine is more textured and a little bit crazy. Haha! But, that's what makes this pattern so much fun. It's both calming and challenging.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Here's the theme! Why is it called Memories?</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Picture this: cozying up on the couch, surrounded by an array of colorful yarn scraps, each one holding a story of its own. Whether it's the remnants of that adorable baby blanket you made for your niece or the leftover yarn from your best friend's cozy winter scarf, these bits and pieces carry a piece of your crafting history.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">But here's the twist – this time, it's all about you. Yes, you heard that right! With the Memories Blanket CAL, we are inviting you to dive into your stash yarn or unearth those forgotten scraps from past projects and transform them into a beautiful blanket just for yourself.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">As you crochet each stitch, hopefully, you'll be reminiscing about the times you spent creating gifts for loved ones. Each square will be a reflection of the love, care, and creativity you've poured into your previous projects. And as you weave in those memories, you'll be crafting a new one – a memory of self-love and self-care.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The concept is simple yet profound: as you wrap yourself in the blanket you've created, you'll be wrapping yourself in the love you've shared with others. It's a reminder that you deserve to be cherished just as much as those you've crafted for in the past.</span></p><p><span></span></p><a name='more'></a><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">How is it constructed?</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The blanket construction will include strips of granny squares (Deb's influence) using four different square patterns and 5 highly textured sections in between the strips (Biz's influence). We rounded the pattern off with a simple Linen/Moss Stitch for the border so that your eyes can concentrate on all the beauty in the middle. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmHi0NjV5FrYcgplDNbVdrFTLt52SCCg12JfO1CYjpNz8XcXxXkyRyCuyNScN3HNz4u6hg04S8NlTMSdE11wv7uI8e5bLqUbcTth2dKfJ9FyrhE4XnAanlDLyZ3W9-ozKa0Vg-0f61ZugkGtBBHFbJJlR1vLqESFJ-GVGD0q0xii52ertCiluMDg/s4032/IMG_6405.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="bizzy's blanket with her husky dog" border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmHi0NjV5FrYcgplDNbVdrFTLt52SCCg12JfO1CYjpNz8XcXxXkyRyCuyNScN3HNz4u6hg04S8NlTMSdE11wv7uI8e5bLqUbcTth2dKfJ9FyrhE4XnAanlDLyZ3W9-ozKa0Vg-0f61ZugkGtBBHFbJJlR1vLqESFJ-GVGD0q0xii52ertCiluMDg/w480-h640/IMG_6405.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The best part about the way we put this together is that it was constructed so you could create your own adventure. If you want to make the blanket exactly like ours, you are more than welcome! But, if you want to play around with textures and placements, the blanket is written so you can do just that. The squares are all 5" across, and the textured strips are all based off of a 135 stitch count, so you can mix and match any of the squares together and move any of the textured strips around to create a truly one-of-a-kind blanket!</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The only caution I'm going to throw out there is that this is definitely an Intermediate level blanket. There will be a few video tutorials available in strategic spots, but I won't have a full video tutorial for the whole blanket like I normally do. You will need to make sure that you are already familiar with crochet before making this one. BUT!!! Don't let this hold you back if you aren't at an Intermediate crochet level...because you know I'll never leave you hanging!

If you want a traditional Buffalo Plaid, you will need to stick to the red and black theme (blanket picture above). If you are wanting to stray from that color combination and do something else, it will be considered a Gingham check. Why didn't I know this before? I've called all of my previous plaid renditions "Buffalo" (because I thought it was just the thickness of the plaid not the colors)...but, not anymore! I created two versions of the blanket so you could see what each style would look like.

I really leaned on the yarns that had a gold undertone to help convey the idea of sitting beside the fireplace on a cold, wintery evening while the Christmas lights glow softly and you're surrounded by those you hold dearest to your heart. This blanket is amazingly thick and snuggly. Perfect for chilly winter nights and snuggles with your loved ones. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO872L5Wgn-eBOKM-Y4QcMUH25aegx__TxGjcH6gsu-J-oerjiMJeKaw7qhMpNkp7va6TT3XseImG2OSsd_X-Y1w8In1juz2s9lopH444vLqj73rq48zyxruQiGyHb7T53mrmpURa2OST5TjRzZ777jZB1GoOqjP-eX6XRVqy-VUeKbg1XyZNEPw/s4032/IMG_5518.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO872L5Wgn-eBOKM-Y4QcMUH25aegx__TxGjcH6gsu-J-oerjiMJeKaw7qhMpNkp7va6TT3XseImG2OSsd_X-Y1w8In1juz2s9lopH444vLqj73rq48zyxruQiGyHb7T53mrmpURa2OST5TjRzZ777jZB1GoOqjP-eX6XRVqy-VUeKbg1XyZNEPw/w300-h400/IMG_5518.jpg" width="300" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Here is an additional pattern to make along with your blanket:</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="316" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/UR9qCqfGc3U" width="482" youtube-src-id="UR9qCqfGc3U"></iframe></span></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br />You may also enjoy some of my other free patterns on the Bizzy Crochet blog:</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhzqDSxSg8wB27RCoyL335a65BCTM1zzOYQDnNGXul57vMEB6p2SlFHIb4FioZztSptt7ahGgFue7R3tScSqdkVy-hAc30KMFyDMkgoowNHSzhZHrQQfi3zSE94Z2bntkTstR4Q6HdDq3rvLenPzAOHhQ2IyKeaTUodbutyGEdm7y-zodavu9X9A/s2000/three%20cmas%20patterns.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="2000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhzqDSxSg8wB27RCoyL335a65BCTM1zzOYQDnNGXul57vMEB6p2SlFHIb4FioZztSptt7ahGgFue7R3tScSqdkVy-hAc30KMFyDMkgoowNHSzhZHrQQfi3zSE94Z2bntkTstR4Q6HdDq3rvLenPzAOHhQ2IyKeaTUodbutyGEdm7y-zodavu9X9A/w400-h320/three%20cmas%20patterns.png" width="400" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">1. <a href="https://bizzycrochet.blogspot.com/2022/12/bauble-candy-christmas-ornament-pattern.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bauble Candy Christmas Ornament</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">2. <a href="https://bizzycrochet.blogspot.com/2021/10/vintage-christmas-cushion-cover-pattern.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Vintage Christmas Cushion Cover</a></span></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">3. <a href="https://bizzycrochet.blogspot.com/2020/02/snow-family-toy-and-ornament-pattern.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Snow Family Toy and Ornament Pattern</a></span><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Here is the supply list for the Fireside Christmas Sampler:</span></div><div><h3><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><a name="_Toc144109908">Yarn Supplies:</a> <o:p></o:p></span></h3>

Construction:</span></b><span style="color: #4472c4; mso-themecolor: accent1;"> </span>The
pattern starts at the fingertips and works the repeat until you reach the
desired “finger-to-thumb” length. (You will want to take it right up to the
valley of your thumb.) You will leave an opening for the thumb as you work the
pattern- you will not need to leave any stitches on holders. The upper part of
the mitten can be worked to your desired length by just continuing the repeat
(after the thumb opening) until you reach where you want your wristband to be.
The wristband works exactly like the collar on the cowl, and the thumb gets
added on at the end. You can also customize the thumb length by continuing in
pattern until you get two rows away from the tip, then do your decrease rows. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
