  • The pattern must have a minimum of 20 squares but can be bigger. Size of afghan is irrelevant as long as you have your 20 squares and border completed.
  • There will not be any exceptions, you need to follow the instructions. Examples of creating your own borders, doing a different joining technique and/or skipping steps. The mystery pattern must be followed.

General Guidelines

    This was SO MUCH FUN. Let’s do another one; I have 4 granddaughters who will be fighting over this one. I am a newbie to crocheting. I am a Lefty, as well. This was a challenge; but I LEARNED so much. I changed the colors in my last 3 rows of border. I changed the picot stitch a tad. I did the single crochet (after the slip stitch) in the next sc, giving more space between each picot. It allowed for my contrasting colors on the previous row to pop. It’s just beautiful. I love it. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!

    Thank you so much for this CAL and all your hard work, I could not have done this without your videos. This is the first one I have ever done and really enjoyed it. As long as it is a blanket, afghan or similar I will definitely be joining again. It was so much fun. Keep up the good work.

    Mikey, Thank you for all your efforts in the Crochet Along. I’ve never done anything like this before, and it was lots of fun. My husband was even anxious for Tuesdays to see what I had to do next. The videos were quite helpful; I’m glad I took the bit of time to watch them. I hope you do something like this again. I’m in! :)

    What a fun project! I have been crocheting for a long time and never have had such a complicated and challenging project. I loved every step of the way and especially enjoyed the videos. Thank you Mikey. I will miss Tuesdays with you!

    Thank you so much for doing this. This took me way out of my comfort zone, but I loved it. I am now looking at patterns I would have normally passed thinking I could never do that. I’ve been crocheting most of my life but I have been very “safe” in choosing colors and patterns. Thank you again for the time and energy in putting this challenge together.

    Thank you so much for all your time and effort in putting this CAL together. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and as a novice crocheter, learned so much. In my wildest dreams I never imagined I could make something like this.
