This post is for the 11th square in the Stitch Together 2022 Stitch-A-Thon Blanket. If you’re unfamiliar with this CAL, head over to StitchTogether.com and find out all about how you can join us in 14 squares all year long.
Hi everyone! Can you believe it’s the 2nd half of our year-long CAL? We’re in the final stretch, only 4 more squares remaining. And I’m excited to bring you the 11th in our CAL.
My inspiration for this square was I wanted to make something in the round. Honestly, that’s really it. Well, mostly it… many of our previous squares have been worked from the bottom up in rows and while I love the way it looks but I kind wanted to go in a different direction. I want the finished blankets of this CAL to have a variety of squares and so I set to work making a new in the round square. That way, there’s at least 3 different ones in the final CAL, which I think will add to the interesting look of the final blanket. And it give me a good excuse to use cross doubles, which I love and think look so fun. 🙂
If you have any questions, don’t forget to ask them in the Stitch Together Facebook Group (but let’s remember to keep it kind) and share those photos with the hashtag #Stitchathon2022 on Instagram.
And if you haven’t bought the pdf from We Crochet you can do that any time during the CAL and it will be updated with each new square!
Please note: I was provided Brava Worsted by We Crochet for the purposes of designing the my 2 squares for the Stitch Together Stitch-A-Thon Blanket, without compensation. I wasn’t provided the yarn with the expectations of positive or negative reviews but I honestly can say I do enjoy this yarn, I used it on my so many times, and it is a fantastic worsted. If you purchase yarn through any of the links in this post, I will be compensated.

Notes
- This square is worked from the center out in the round with a slip st into the first st (or the top ch of the ch 3) to join.
- The ch 3 at the beginning of the rnd counts as a stitch. Do not work into the st below the starting ch 3. Feel free to use an alternate starting dc.
- You can replace the Magic Circle at the beginning with a ch-4 if you’d prefer.
- Blocking is recommended for this pattern.
