Crafting Memories: Section 4 of the Memories Blanket CAL
It's already the second to last week of the Memories CAL. 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!
The fourth (and final) square:
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:
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.
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!
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. :)
Let's talk colors!
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. Contrasting Color 1 (CC1) is Sungold, Contrasting Color 2 (CC2) is Toasted Almond, and my Main Color (MC) is Ivory.
Enjoy the simplicity of this section. It's another part of the blanket that helps bring some 'calm' to the "color chaos"- hahaha!

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.
