#8 Must-Have Mini CAL 2

Introduction Must-Have Mini CAL 2

After the overwhelming success of last summer’s fruity Must-Have Mini CAL we knew a second edition was inevitable. I knew I had to get to work, so I (happily) picked up my crochet hook and came up with a brand-new CAL.

Last time we saw that the phrase ‘more is more’ was highly relevant. The more fruits of one kind were made, the more beautiful it was. The fruit bowls in the final contest were overflowing, and yummy – that was delicious! So we opted to not only work with our Must-Have Mini’s again, but to go bigger and work with Must-Have too.

But what will it be…? Will we stick to vitamin rich foods? Or will we go for something a little less healthy? I’m not telling anything yet! I’ve worked up 8 designs which we’ll be sharing every Monday for free on this blog.

We’re providing you with all the information you need to crochet along in advance, just like we did for our last CAL. Will you read along?

Good to know

  • This CAL requires basic knowledge of amigurumi crochet techniques.
  • Everyone has a different tension. Depending on your tension, there might be a slight difference in size between your items and the sample ones I made. Work in continuous rounds, unless states otherwise.
  • Repeat everything between * * as much as indicated at the end with “x …”.
  • The number between parentheses after the round indicates the total number of stitches in that round.
  • It might be handy to use a stitch marker in the first stitch of the round. This will make it easier to count the stitches.
  • Color changes look best when making the last pull through of a stitch in the new color. Continue working with the new color after this.
  • Stuff the items as you go with Yarn and Colors Panda Stuffing. It’s up to you to decide when the pattern best allows stuffing your item. The pattern doesn’t specify when to do so. I usually start stuffing in a row with 12 sc. The pattern specifies when you don’t need to add stuffing.
  • You can use all of the colors used in a week’s design, unless stated otherwise. We will explicitly state when a color will be used again later in the CAL.
