Notes:

KEEP 12” tails on all blocks! It will make it much easier to seam at the end!

15 weeks of clues - one of the weeks is a ‘catch-up’ week

Colors A B & C are said to be used equally throughout the blanket, where color D is a pop/contrast color.

I am really finding it helpful to use the chart rather than the pattern after the first few rows of each block.

Clue #1 - Completed one motif and realized I needed to up my hook size to an I hook to keep the correct gauge.

Clue #2 - Took me three tries to get the size right. Had to go up to a K hook! :) As others mentioned in the forum, keep your ch 5’s very loose. :)

Clue #3 - Kept the same K hook. Love the star-to-hex technique in this block!

Clue #4 - Used the same hook as Clue #1, the I hook. Really love how this block adds texture to the blanket.

Clue #5 - Even though this block is the same size as block #2 & #3, I had to go back to the I hook!

Clue #6 - Also continued this block using the I hook. This block is more lacy and airy than the others, should be a good contrast!

The blanket layout is different than my guess, but I am going to stick with my guess. I need the symmetry (even though that one pink clue #1 is on it’s own, I just have to pretend it’s not there! ha ha ha)

The border called for a single row of single crochet. I added on top of that a variant of the cluster from Clue #6. See here for my tutorial: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/generationsue/hooked-clus...
