Crafting Memories: Section 5 of the Memories Blanket CAL
Oh my gosh!! It's the last week of the Memories CAL already!! I can't believe we are already at the last two patterns to be released (Section 5 and the Border). Let's soak up as much as we can this week and finish this awesome Memory off with a bang!
The fourth textured section:

If you have already completed Section 4, we can move on to Section 5.
Section 5 doesn't have anything that should throw you off at this point. The first portion of this section is going to be rows of single crochet with FPtr in strategic spots that will create a textured diamond. The second portion will be mostly sc's, chains, and dc's. The stitches themselves are something I know that you will be comfortable with. The most fun part of Section 5 is being able to play with colors.
The only big tip I have for you is to make sure you watch closely which stitch post you put your first FPtr around as that will inform the rest of your stitches...and don't forget to skip the sc's behind the FPtr's. If you don't, you will add stitches to your rows.
Let's talk colors!
For this section, I used a solid in the diamond textured portion because solids seem to show off the texture better. But, in the second portion, I used four different colors because that portion just "calls" for colors! Contrasting Color 1 (CC1) is Light Sage, Contrasting Color 2 (CC2) is Brown, Contrasting Color 3 (CC3) is Turquoise, Contrasting Color 4 (CC4) is Sungold, Contrasting Color 5 (CC5) is Cranberry, and my Main Color (MC) is Ivory.
Have fun playing with the subtle textures created by the colors in this section!
