The Next "Cup"!
I hope you're enjoying the LemonBerry Tea. Ready for the next cup, I mean, stitch? 😅 Awesome! Thank you again for joining this Crochet Along! All the materials & release dates, as well as the blocks themselves, can be found here. Mine is already made, but I can't wait to see your masterpieces!
This week we will be doing a very simple, yet cozy block done in my signature design. We will be doing Block 8: Double Diamonds C2C Block. This is the next block of the non-C2C basic block style stitches. It looks intimidating, but it's much simpler than you think. This block is constructed the same as a regular Double Crochet C2C block but will include some filet crochet. This creates a unique design within the block itself. Anyway, for those who are uncertain what C2C is or need a refresher, you should check out this video by Blossom Crochet here. I also have a separate post devoted to unique C2C stitches, none of which will be in this CAL. This post can be found here.
Consider becoming a member to receive emails when the next block is available or join my group on Facebook here for CAL releases, pattern help, general crochet talk, & to see what I'm up to! All levels are welcome from very beginners to extreme experts!
The Info
Size: I tried my hardest to make each block 15" square, not counting the edging that is worked on each block. Some may be slightly over, some slightly under. This one should be 15" on the dot, but it may run large depending on your tension.
Blocking: This one shouldn't need blocked, but you are always welcome to do so.

Yarn: Red Heart Super Saver in Raspberry; 100% Acrylic, 4-Medium, 7 oz, 364 yds;
and Red Heart Super Saver Jumbo in Dark Grey Heather; 100% Acrylic, 4-Medium, 10 oz, 482 yds.
(Feel free to use any similar yarn, but be aware: sizing & yardage may differ)
Skeins needed (approximate):
Main color: 1
Accent color: 1
Hook Size: I used a 5mm hook, but you may use whatever gives you the appropriate gauge.
