Classic Crochet Stitch: the Linen Stitch featured in Janet’s Garden CAL for October
Classic crochet stitches are great to know, and the linen stitch is by far a favorite of mine. It makes such a wonderful fabric and you can do so much with it by playing with color changes. The way I have used it in the October section of the Janet’s Garden CAL, it makes cute little dots!

Wavy Crochet Fun – Janet’s Garden CAL September
Wavy crochet fun is what I have in store for you with this month’s Janet’s Garden CAL section. This part makes some slightly popped waves that I enjoyed designing. This is another section that will need a good bit of blocking. If it’s still a little wavy after blocking, don’t fret; October’s section will get it in shape and you can block again then.

Broken Rib Crochet Washcloth – Part of the 2019 CAL Central Washcloth CAL
This washcloth has great texture so it feels great and looks pretty as well. Pamper yourself while adding some lovely style to your home spa supplies.
Crochet Heart Stitch and Crochet Rose Stitch – Janet’s Garden CAL August
Crochet heart stitch? Crochet rose stitch? That’s right, summer’s coming to a close and so we’re remembering the warmth with roses and hearts. These two stitch patterns are very sweet and can be incorporated into so many other projects. They are also fun to make.
The crochet heart stitches are made by working over shell stitches. The roses are made with popcorn stitches, which are one of the few stitches that require you to remove your crochet hook from your stitches. They also use dc cluster stitches for the leaves.

V-Stitch Crochet Section of the Janet’s Garden CAL
V-Stitch crochet is one of my favorite crochet techniques. It’s fast and so easy to make, plus it looks really nice. In July the Janet’s Garden CAL will grow using the double crochet v-stitch. If you are playing around with colors, then this is the perfect month to have some fun with color changes.

Janet’s Garden CAL June – Catherine’s Wheel Crochet Stitch is featured this month, and we are half way there!
The Catherine’s Wheel crochet stitch is featured in the June section of the Janet’s Garden CAL. It’s actually super easy and fun to make. I’ve wanted to learn this stitch for a while, and I finally had chance. I see more Catherine’s Wheel crochet stitch patterns in my future!

Janet’s Garden CAL May – Easy Crochet Eyelet Rounds!
Is it time for a break? I know last month’s CAL rounds were a bit…intense. May’s rounds of the Janet’s Garden CAL feature easy crochet eyelet rounds. Made in just one color May gives you a nice break from some of the more intricate sections of this sampler blanket. Next month is going to be a bit more involved, so take the break while you can!

Janet’s Garden CAL April
This month we are going to complete 2 sections of the Janet’s Garden Blanket. Both sections feature post stitches, which you can learn more about HERE. The first section gives a knit look, and the second makes a nifty zig-zag. It will be important to block each of these sections to get a nice look on your finished blanket.
