I reeeeeally need to knook this blanket!!
This year it’s about Marvel & DC Superheroes but I might swap some of my squares for my own Heroes like DrWho and Sherlock Holmes :)
The Geek-Along Den
Crochet cast-on
This lined both colours in the right order. I held both yarns together and followed the video.
Long tail cast-on
No twist edging for a less bulky sides.
Bind-off with one yarn or a 3-ways bind-off
Alternate squares. Only 2014 and 2016 squares have the same 45 cast-on stitches.
All the squares

I love this Storyline about Ilvermorny Castle.
So my square is dedicated to its founders, the ‘S’ for Isolt Sayre Horned Serpent and the red for James Stewards love for cranberry pie.
Actually Isolt was a Supergirl to survive and escape her evil aunt. Travel into the unknown and hide then found love and build a Wizarding School! Hi5 Girl!!!
