I’m making this for my BAMMM Shazaam 2016 CAL, even though it’s technically not one of the CAL blocks. (I got impatient, and this was already in my queue.)

I started out making the 12” square but realized after round 10 that my block was coming out too big. (My other blocks for this afghan are all smaller than the intended 12” squares.) So I ripped back that round and switched to the instructions for the 9” square. If that turns out too small, I can add a round.

Hm. I think there are some minor number errors in at least the last round of the 9” pattern. Looks like it was copied and pasted from the 12” pattern, and someone forgot to adjust some numbers. Of course, by the time you get to the last round of the pattern, you can probably figure out what to do, just from the photo, and since the pattern is free and available in three sizes, we can’t really complain. ;o)

To get the block to the size of my other squares for this afghan, I needed something in between the 9” and 12” block, so I adjusted the last two rounds slightly.

I love the way this block turned out! It was pretty easy to crochet, too, which was nice, after the more complicated blocks I’ve been working on lately. I’d like to make this one again, sometime. :o)

Added Canada Goose block border to match my other blocks.
