Magic Decanter Crochet-A-Long
Interlocking Crochet, Week 3: Rows 41 – 77
Week 3
This Crochet-A-Long moves quickly! We are working on rows 41 through 77 this week. You will see the bottom of the central explosion. I personally like the way the background color and stars switch from being dark to light and vice versa.
I hope you’re enjoying the process!

If you’re in my Facebook group you may have seen this photo already. I have been trying to work on my blanket while also taking the kids to a summer art class and entertain my youngest in a sleepy town with limited options.
I have not been getting much work done and I look forward to this art class being over! The kids enjoyed it, and it was worth it, but not something I can handle long-term.
How are you managing the season and the CAL?
These photos are the right side and wrong side up to row 77 of my interlocking crochet version of Magic Decanter.
Magic Decanter CAL Schedule
To follow along with the free written pattern you’ll need to complete about 36 rows per week. I know this is completely unattainable for some people but we don’t mind if you take longer to get it done! You can show off your progress at any stage and at any date!!
If you share on Instagram, tag me @AshleesLint so I can see your pretty projects!
If you are in Facebook groups that allow it, share your progress and let others know they can come join in the fun!
If you’re in my Facebook group, share your progress at any time and upload the photo(s) of your finished blanket in the album!

Time to Crochet!
This week we will crochet rows 41 through 77.
I doubt anyone will need these links at this point, but for the sake of being thorough you can check out the Foundation Rows page if you need to start your blanket or re-read the full Key here.
I’ve always got multiple projects on the go. I’ve been ignoring my Coffee Time Wall Hanging (I will probably turn it into a Tea Time Wall Hanging!) and I got a very tiny start to my next Celtic Knot square but I’ve been mostly focused on our Magic Decanter CAL.
We are still looking at the Wrong Side
