Welcome to the first release of the Wanderlust CAL! I decided to kick things off right with the Happy S’more square! I have provided two square options this week…the Smiling Happy S’more OR the Happy S’more (no face). Both are adorable and oh so fitting for the Wanderlust CAL. I figured the Happy S’more had to be the first release because who doesn’t love s’mores?!
Keep in mind, the Wanderlust CAL can be personalized. You can decide to do each release and have a large blanket to snuggle under or you can just do some of the squares and make a lap blanket, baby blanket, or pillows! You can also personalize each release with whatever colors suit your style… really, the possibilities are endless with this Cal. I will be providing the colors I chose to use on my squares, but again, feel free to get creative and share!
Supplies Needed:
- Red Heart Yarn – Medium Weight (4)
- Colors for Smiling S’more: Black Super Saver, Heather Gray Super Saver, Light Raspberry Super Saver, Buff Super Saver, Coffee Super Saver, Red Heart Sparkle Soft White
- Colors for S’more (no face): Heather Gray Super Saver, Buff Super Saver, Coffee Super Saver, Red Heart Sparkle Soft White
- Hook Size: G or H

Stitch Options

I have a private Facebook group (Wanderlust CAL) for everyone that would like to participate in the Wanderlust CAL. My hope is that the Facebook group will allow us to share our creativity with yarn choices as well as with the type of stitch you decide to use. It will also act as an avenue to ask questions if we run into issues.
Wanderlust CAL Schedule
I will continue to release on Fridays, so that you can get your yarn on the weekend and still have time to complete the square.
