If you're making the scarf you will need a total of 12 squares, so you will need 1 of each square. If you're making the afghan you will need a total of 48 squares, so you will need 4 of each square. But if some of the squares don't appeal to you, you can substitute that square for another that you do love. The choice is really up to you!
The fifth of our squares is called 'Chains in Space' written by Sarah McDonald. You can find the pattern with a picture tutorial here on this page, or you can download a printer friendly version here.
If you have any questions regarding the pattern or the CAL in general, please post to the facebook group as you will receive the quickest response time from there.
