Eye of the Storm Afghan CAL Week 11

October 11, 2026 By Leave a Comment

Eye of the Storm Afghan CAL Week 11, This week I am remaking 1 of my squares!!

Week 11

If you remember from week 4, I did a really dumb thing! I picked up the wrong hook size and my squares were 2″ to small… I didn’t realize until I blocked them.

Since I am now done with my 20 squares, I decided this week and next week I would remake those 2 squares to be the correct size! BUT, when I was ready to sit and crochet… I decided not to remake the whole square…

I decided to add 2 more V Stitch rows at the end… It turned out great and It won’t be to obvious when I put all the squares together!

I hope if you aren’t making this crochet along, you are following along… You will find the schedule and details below if you want to get started… So easy to keep up each week… Just 1 or 2 squares a week depending on the size afghan you want!

You can make this afghan at any time… Use your scrap yarn or plan you colors!

If you are seeing The Eye of the Storm CAL for the first time… This is a Crochet Along that goes for a total of 15 weeks… You can choose how many squares you want to make and the size of your project… You will make 1 or 2 squares per week depending on what you choose. I am making the large afghan with 20 squares… 4 across x 5 down. Each square is 12″ x 12″, and mine are 14″, so my approximate size will be 56″ x 74″ with the joining and border.

Each week I randomly draw 6 of the 12 colors for each square, making them all different!

Below are my the original Eye of the storm squares for week 4 and the new remade square for this week! The lighting was a bit brighter for the remade square and the last 3 rows are new colors

Left square is the original and the right square is the remade square …. 2 extra V Stitch rows!

Here is a brief bit of info about this Crochet Along ~

Each block is approximately 12″ x 12″. Then there is joining allowance and the border. The border will be approximately 6 total inches and joining is just a couple of extra inches.


Blocks

  • 3 x 4 (12 blocks) Afghan 44″ x 56″ Make 1 Block Per Week
  • 3 x 5 (15 blocks) Afghan 44″ x 68″ Make 2 Blocks This Week
  • 4 x 5 (20 blocks) Afghan 56″ x 68″ Make 2 Blocks This Week
  • 4 x 6 (24 blocks) Afghan 56″ x 80″ Make 2 Blocks This Week…

5 October 2026 Eye of the Storm Afghan CAL Week 10

Eye of the Storm Afghan CAL Week 10

October 5, 2026 By Leave a Comment

Eye of the Storm Afghan CAL is really taking shape! Week 10 gives us a total of 20 finished squares!

Week 10

This week I fell a bit behind with traveling and a family day, so we are a couple days late. But, that is what is so great about crochet and a crochet along! It is supposed to be relaxing and fun…

Above are this weeks 2 squares and as usual, the random yarn color drawing has once again made me so happy with the fun colors for these 2 squares!

News Flash!!!!!

The typical Eye of the Storm Square should measure 12″, However, I used a larger hook when I started so mine are 14. At the end of the 20 squares, laid out 4×5 squares… My squares laid out already measured 69″ long and since I still have the joining and border, I have decided to stop at 20 squares. I think when done, it will measure just over 74″ long which is what I want.

We will continue with the schedule and final post for the Grand Prize, This gives everyone time to join and complete still and/or catch up!

I hope if you aren’t making this crochet along, you are following along… You will find the schedule and details below if you want to get started… So easy to keep up each week… Just 1 or 2 squares a week depending on the size afghan you want!

You can make this afghan at any time… Use your scrap yarn or plan you colors!

Below are my 20 Eye of the storm squares for the first 10 weeks!….

I’m not quite sure of my final layout yet… I may place them in the order I made them or move them all around!

Yarn

I have chosen to make mine in the whimsical chaos style! What is that? I purchased yarn kits with 12 colors of Red Heart Super Saver that all go together on Amazon. I made a small card for each color(see my pics) and for each square I am randomly drawing 6 cards. I make the square in the order of how I pulled the card for A, B, C, D, E and F colors.

I purchased this yarn kit(4 of them) from Amazon for my CAL Afghan… Click here if you want to see this yarn on Amazon

You can make them in any color scheme or even as a bonus… I have provided instructions for this adorable EVERY-CLOTH PUMPKIN at the bottom of the instructions!

The Every Cloth Pumpkin

Flat on one side and a fun, flower-like pattern on the other side!! 8″ across and 1/2″ thick

The Every Cloth Double Sided

Materials:

Cotton Yarn – 140 yard. I used Hobby Lobby I Cotton for the solid color ones and Hobby Lobby Crafters Secret Cotton for the pumpkin

Hook – Size G

Place marker, scissors and yarn needle

Stitches: US Terms

  • Ch – Chain
  • St – Stitch
  • Sc – Single Crochet
  • Hdc – Half Double Crochet
  • Inc – Increase
  • Dec – Decrease

*Tips – You will work in continuous sc rounds without joining for most of this project to avoid the way joining may look. It works best if you place a marker in the first stitch every time you come to the beginning of the round so you can identify where you start the next round. If you prefer to join each round that is makers option.

Instructions:

Round 1: Leaving a 12″ tail, Ch 2, 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook, no join(you now will work in continuous stitching, placing marker in 1st st and moving it each round). = 6 sc

Round 2: 2 sc in each stitch around. = 12 sc

Round 3: *Sc in st, 2 sc in next st*, repeat *to* around. = 18 sc

Round 4: *Sc in 2 sts, 2 sc in next st*, repeat *to* around. = 24 sc

Round 5: *Inc in st, sc in next 3 sts*, repeat *to* around. = 30 sc

Round 6: Sc in 2 sts, *inc in next st, sc in next 4 sts*, repeat *to* around to last 2 sts, sc in last 2 sts. = 36 sc

Round 7: *sc in 5 sts, inc in next st, repeat *to* around. = 42 sc

Round 8: Sc in 3 sts, *inc in next st, sc in next 6 sts*, repeat *to* around to last 3 sts, sc in last 3 sts. = 48 sc

Round 9: *Inc in next st, sc in next 7 sts*, repeat *to* around. = 54 sc

Round 10: Sc in 4 sts, *inc in next st, sc in next 8 sts*, repeat *to* around to last 4 sts, sc in last 4 sts. = 60 sc

Round 11: *Inc in next st, sc in next 9 sts*, repeat *to* around. = 66 sc

Round 12: Sc in 5 sts, *Inc in next st, sc in next 10 sts*, repeat *to* around to last 5 sts, sc in last 5 sts. = 72 sc

Round 13: *Inc in next st, sc in next 11 sts*, repeat *to* around. = 78 sc

Round 14: Sc in 6 sts, *inc in next st, sc in next 12 sts*, repeat *to* around to last 6 sts, sc in last 6 sts. JOIN. = 84 sc

Round 15: Ch 1, hdc in each st around, join to top of 1st hdc. = 84 hdc

Rounds 16-25: Continuous sc in each st around, moving marker up in 1st sc each round. = 84 sc

Round 26: *Sc in 12 sts, dec over next 2 sts*, repeat *to* around. = 78 sc

Round 27: Sc in 6 sts, *dec over next 2 sts, sc in next 11 sts*, repeat *to* around to last 5 sts, sc in last 5 sts. =72 sc

Round 28: *Sc in 10 sts, dec over next 2 sts*, repeat *to* around. = 66 sc

Round 29: Sc in 4 sts, *dec over next 2 sts, sc in next 9 sts*, repeat *to* around to last 5 sts, sc in last 5 sts. = 60 sc

Finish of leaving 12″ tail

Using a yarn needle, weave tail thru each st of round 29 and draw closed tightly(you will still have a small opening), going in the opposite directions, weave tail thru center again and pull closed tightly(this should close center.

Pick up 1st tail from round 1 and bring thru centers to meet the tail of round 29, tie them together securely making sure the bottom and top of the circle are together. Weave tails in.

The row of hdc should be on the outer rim of the circle. Gently pull circle to stretch and make it lay flat. The top should look similar to a circle.

FOR THE PUMPKIN

Repeat pattern using orange cotton yarn for rounds 1-26, change to brown for rounds 27-29. For the tail at the end or round 29, leave it a longer at approx. 2 yards to make the stem.

Pick up 1st tail from round 1 and bring thru centers to meet the tail of round 29, tie them together securely making sure the bottom and top of the circle are together.

STEM: Using the longer brown tail, ch 9, starting in 2nd ch from hook make 3 sc in each of the next 7 chs leaving last ch unworked. Secure the tails once more by tying the 2 tails together and weave them in.

Congratulations!!!! You now have an Every Cloth and/or very cute Pumpkin Cloth!!!
