5 September 2026 Eye Of The Storm Afghan CAL Week 6

Eye Of The Storm Afghan CAL Week 6

September 5, 2026 By Leave a Comment

Eye of the Storm Afghan CAL Week 6!!! 12 Squares, Halfway done with the squares. So bright and colorful!!!

Week 6 Squares

This weeks 2 squares are so opposite and I love them… It is so much fun each week seeing how the 2 squares will turn out!

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!

If you are seeing The Eye of the Storm CALfor 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 24 squares… 4 across x 6 down. Each square is 12″ x 12″, so my approximate size will be 56″ x 80″ with the joining and border.

Below are my first 12 Eye of the storm squares for the first 6 weeks!….

First 12 Squares

Now that I am at the halfway point… I can see the estimated size of my blanket and it will be perfect! I’m not sure yet which color I will join with or do the border… I think maybe white or black… But the dark blue would look great too!

Last week as usual was super busy… Spent a few days at Franks house and we went out on the lake which was such a nice break. I crocheted a lot… Of course, these 2 squares, a new pattern… The Crochet Acorn Pillow and started a couple more designs!

Crochet Acorn Pillow

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… Mine!!!

The Eye Of The Storm Pattern

You can come directly to my website for the FREE Pattern which is a separate post, ***Click here for the Eye of the Storm Square Free Pattern Post***

It is the same pattern each week, just 2 different colorways each week. Or you can purchase the PDF version for $5 USD on Ravelry.

Make sure to head to Ravelry and add this to your projects and favorites.. Or purchase the PDF… Click Here!

Here are this weeks squares and since I am using 12 colors and randomly drawing 6 colors each week for each of the squares it is super fun and whimsical! Also below you can see the colors for this week I drew!

For all the information and each previous weeks post, here is the list below with the links. Or, you can head to the Crochet With Me tab at the top of the page to get all the posts!

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
