Welcome to week 4 of the 2018 Fiber Flux Spring Crochet Along! Today marks week four and the conclusion of the tutorial parts of our CAL…it seemed like it went by in a flash this time, right? Today we’ll be working all of those finishing details that make your crochet look their best. Also, fun elements like pompoms and tassels finish it off beautifully.
Also, a very special thanks to Red Heart for sponsoring this CAL with their amazing yarn!
Today we are going to be covering:
- Weaving in ends
- How to make a solid pompom (no special tools required!)
- How to make a multicolor pompom
- How to make a tassel
- How to attach your extras to your blanket
- Review of the CAL schedule
- Where to connect with other makers
For this CAL (crochet along) we are making the “Springy Stripes Blanket,” a beautiful striped c2c blanket! This has been a highly requested item in the Fiber Flux community, so I am so super excited to making this together! The CAL will be divided over a few weeks, concluding with a fun showcase of blankets in our maker gallery! Scroll down for the schedule with actual dates and what we’ll be doing on each day/week.
*This is a self-paced project, so definitely go at the speed you feel most comfortable. The instructional videos and posts will be up forever and you will always be able to go back and watch again and again!
