A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…
If you’ve read my “Upcoming CALs” page, then you probably already know that we will be having a Star Wars crochet along from April to May this year. Excited? Me too!
This CAL will consist of a one large center panel (40×75), two long side panels (90×11), and six smaller inner panels/squares (25×25).
What stitch will this be worked in? I will be using straight HDC, but I will be doing 2 HDCs per “block” and I will be doubling the rows (essentially making each block 2×2). Clear as mud? Check out the video tutorial here.
Because there were twice as many options in our polls for the Light Side as there was for the Dark Side, I decided to select 8 designs for the Light Side and 4 designs for the Dark Side. Here are your winners:
Light Side: R2D2, Yoda, Chewbacca, Millennium Falcon, Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and Han Solo, Ewok
Dark Side: Storm Trooper, Darth Vader, Death Star, Boba Fett
If your square wasn’t chosen, don’t worry! It may still appear as a graph-only bonus square further into the CAL! (I’m looking at YOU, C3PO!)
And what’s with that starry background? I’ve decided to use a new brand of yarn, which I know to be a crafter favorite: Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Yarn! I plan to use their I Love This Metallic Yarn in black. I worked up a swatch of this yarn against their I love This Yarn (non-metallic) in yellow, and the result was just what I wanted! (As this project will be gifted to my six-year-old brother, I know he’d insist upon the “stars”!)
This CAL will also have a super nifty alternate center panel! What do you think?

Below is the list of links for the PDF patterns for each panel. They will be updated as they become available.
MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU Alternate Center Panel
