Hygge friends joining you on this project, helping you learn new skills along the way.

Lorretta,

I am trying to download the CAL since my computer crashed and I don’t seem to find week 6 and 7 and 8?

Susan Kerbel,

Hi Susan. I updated the post so you should be able to find it if you click the tag Crochet Along. I am sending you the link where you should see all of them. I hope you join us for our next crochet along. https://blog.marymaxim.com/category/crochet-along/

Gwen Bautista,

The instructions for the Popcorn are right inside the pattern.

work Popcorn as follows: 5 dc in next hdc, drop loop from hook, insert hoo in first dc of group, hook dropped loop and draw through, ch 1 to close – Popcorn made, ****
Kendra Sagash,

Once you work up the patterns you will see that they do not look the same in person. One is a cross stitch pattern and the other is a 3 dc cluster. They will not be together the assembly of the afghan so they will not ‘appear’ to look too much alike. It could just be the same color that is throwing you off.

Kendra Sagash,

I am very interested in learning about this CAL.

Leslie Jean Yanko,

The images for Squares 28 and 29 look the exact same.

Trisha Smith,

Are there instructions for the Popcorn stitch in Square 26???
