Help me help local communities by creating blocks for Warm Up America<\/a>, by making a block for yourself and one\nfor a community project with this free pattern. I will be creating a new block\nevery few weeks and sharing it with you, I just ask that make one for donation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warm Up America<\/a> is\na nationwide organization that encourages local donations, but will also except\ndonations to be sent to their office so that blocks can be assembled and then\nblankets can be donated through the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mixed Blocks Block<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Even if you do not want to participate with Warm Up America<\/a>, please consider creating blocks, or\nblankets for your local community. There are various places in every community\nthat accept donations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Corner to Corner<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a popular technique\nthat while a bit of a challenge to get started is quite addicting once you get\nit. This technique really allows you to customize the size of any project you\nwant to work it with, you just need to refer to the \u201cincrease both side\u201d, \u201cincrease\none side, decrease one side\u201d, and \u201cdecrease both sides\u201d portions and work them\nuntil you have a desired size. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gauge: 7\u201dx9\u201d rectangle<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Materials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Medium weight yarn, in\n3 colors MC (main color), CC1, CC2<\/p>\n\n\n\n

K\/10 \u00bd\/ 6.5mm hook<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cblocks\u201d within this block are made up of a chain 3, and 3\ndouble crochet stitches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each row creates new blocks, and work in the sides of the adjacent blocks of the previous row. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since this Block uses three colors, instead of cutting the yarn, carry it along the side of the Block. If you need tips on this check it out here.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
