What was the This Crochet ALong
 2024 All About?

 that is inspired by the Birthstone of each month.

and a Brand New Video Tutorial.
Make at least 2 squares for each month.

I stitched up 2 squares of each of the crochet squares.
Next, I chose the yarn I wanted for my trim 
Scramble in the colorway Rainbow by SUNDANCE.
I ordered 3 balls from Herrschners yarn.
Each ball has 3.5 oz.

I stitched of 6  solid 6 inch squares.
Here is the Link I used: LINK

This Gave Me 30 Squares To Work with.

I randomly arranged the squares in a
 5 X 6 squares pattern.

>>Place the 1st 2 squares together, right sides out.
Join in the yarn, 2 sc in the corner of the 1st square.
2 Sc in the corner of the 2nd square,
 *ch 2, sk 2 sts of the 1st sq,
2 sc in the next sc of the 1st square,
ch 2, sk 2 sts of the 2nd sq,
2 sc in the next sc of the 2nd square*
Repeat from * to * across
 2 sc in the corner of the 1st square.
2 Sc in the corner of the 2nd square 

Please remember that one square may have more sts 
the the other, so you may need to sk 1 or 2 more sts to 
make them line up evenly

Repeat At >>  to <<
