Notes

This is a mix of the BAMCAL and Moogly CAL 2016. I will be picking squares and making them I have a layout of 30 squares for a 5X6. The colors will be various shades of gray with a hint of pale lavender. It was inspired by the Snow Camo color from Caron Simply Soft yarn, as seen in my yarn colors picture.

Stars Aligned square
I decided to so a little change to the look. I did rounds 1-5 then I did a repeat of rounds 3-5. I then did round 6 and then repeat of rows 2-5 with a repeat of rounds 3-5 again. I did the last round as HDC and it came out to just shy of 12”.

Flame Square
I followed the directions and for the round 13 instead of doing BPHDC I did BPDC to give just a hint of height and finished round 14 with the SC. Again this came out just a hint shy of 12”

3D Flower Granny Square
As my squares are mainly single color I did a few changes to this square to give it more texture.

Rounds 1-6 used Iced Violet and did as written
Round 7 changed to greymist
Round 8 I started with the corner instead of center.
Round 9 did 2 DC ch2 2 DC in corner to give myself an odd stitch count per side.
Round 10 To give texture I did even stitch FPDC and odd stitch DC
Round 11-12, 14-15 sc as written
Round 13 I turned and working on WS I did odd stitch sc and even stitch TRC. When done I turned back around to RS. I had a bobble look.
Round 16 DC as written
Round 17 I needed to add size so I did BPDC in the even stitches and DC in the odd stitches.
Round 18 As I dded this row to get to 12in it is all SC.

I put this down when I moved and it sat in storage. I asked a friend her favorite color in Aug 2018 and she said grey. I knew this was perfect for her. So in mid Dec 2018 I picked it back up and over the course of a few weeks I completed the remaining squares and did a simple join and border.

Join was done in the green using a simple sc join. I did a round of sc and a round of scallops to finish it off.
