Bows, gift boxes, holly leaves and geometric bands bring a festive rhythm to this blanket, finished with its complete gold and cream picture frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePATTERN SPECIFICATIONS\u003cbr\u003eOverlay Mosaic: 250 chart stitches x 285 rows.\u003cbr\u003eTapestry: 250 chart stitches x 285 rows.\u003cbr\u003eColors: A Burgundy; B Gold; C Cream; D Holly green; E Ochre gold.\u003cbr\u003ePicture: 71,250 original color positions.\u003cbr\u003eA Burgundy: 50,915 cells; B Gold: 8,964; C Cream: 8,311; D Holly green: 2,428; E Ochre gold: 632.\u003cbr\u003eBoth techniques retain every original cell, color and position. Visible color area is not yarn consumption.\u003cbr\u003eAdd 2 A edge sc on each side: 254 worked stitches per row. Foundation: ch 255.\u003cbr\u003eEnglish instructions use US crochet terms and right-handed directions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTWO COMPLETE TECHNIQUES\u003cbr\u003eTapestry: 93 pages. Every chart cell is one BLO single crochet, on RS and WS.\u003cbr\u003eMosaic: 114 pages. A tapestry-overlay hybrid combines within-row color changes with 22,340 anchored overlay DC in selected A, B, D and E cells on odd RS rows. Each marked position has the same color in both cells below it; all remaining positions are sc. Cream C cells use sc. No extra picture row is added.\u003cbr\u003eMosaic CUT uses BLO sc on all rows. Mosaic NO-CUT uses BLO sc and marked anchored DC on odd RS rows, and FLO sc on even WS rows. A letter identifies the yarn; X identifies an anchored DC. Full stitch instructions and reading examples are included.\u003cbr\u003eBoth techniques carry all FOUR inactive yarns inside every stitch, even when a color is not visible in that row. This creates a substantial fabric; use the five-yarn sample to select your yarn, hook and drape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCUT AND NO-CUT\u003cbr\u003eEach technique includes separate setup and all 285 written rows for BOTH alternatives. Choose one method for the whole blanket.\u003cbr\u003eCUT: keep RS facing; every row travels right to left. Fasten off all five colors after each row.\u003cbr\u003eNO-CUT: keep all five attached and turn after EVERY row. Odd rows travel right to left, even rows left to right. Ch 2 at each turn, not counted as a stitch.\u003cbr\u003eWritten rows contain visible direction arrows, color\/stitch counts and repeated groups. They are already in working order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eENLARGED PRINTABLE CHARTS\u003cbr\u003eEach Complete PDF includes 56 A4 chart sheets, arranged in 8 columns and 7 bands. Sheets cover 31-32 columns and 40-41 rows at 5.5 mm per square when printed at Actual size \/ 100%. A 10-cell scale bar must measure 55 mm.\u003cbr\u003eTwo readable assembly-map panels, a color\/notation key, reading examples, row\/column numbers and stronger grid rules every 10 cells support reading and assembly. Yarn letters make monochrome prints unambiguous.\u003cbr\u003eSeparate large-format vector single-page charts are for screen zoom. Use the A4 chart sheets for printing; fitting a full chart onto one A4 page makes its cells too small.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFINISHED SIZE AND MATERIALS\u003cbr\u003eThe picture is 50 x 57 in ONLY at 5 stitches and 5 rows per inch. Four added side stitches make the body 50.8 x 57 in (129.0 x 144.8 cm), before an outside border. Other gauges give other sizes.\u003cbr\u003eFor a washed 20-stitch width w cm and 20-row height h cm: body width = 254 x w \/ 20; body height = 285 x h \/ 20. A border b cm wide adds 2b to each dimension. Measure width and height separately.\u003cbr\u003eExample: 20 stitches and 20 rows per 10 cm produce a 127 x 142.5 cm body (50 x 56.1 in). This is a gauge example, not a fixed finished size.\u003cbr\u003eChoose five smooth, same-weight yarns and a suitable hook. Have scissors, a blunt needle, stitch markers, tape measure and a 0.1 g scale available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYARN PLANNING\u003cbr\u003eThe 11-page yarn guide includes technique-specific measuring panels, written sample rows for CUT and NO-CUT, size formulas, label conversions and simple\/envelope border instructions.\u003cbr\u003eWeigh each color independently, including hidden carried yarn. Even minor color E travels through the whole blanket; do not estimate it from visible area alone.\u003cbr\u003eEach color's body grams = its net measured 20 x 20 panel grams x 180.975. This includes an approximate side-edge allowance. Add an adjustable outside border in A (default 12% of combined body grams), applicable CUT row tails and 10% reserve for foundation chains, initial\/final ends, joins and variation. Lifting chains remain included in the measured panel.\u003cbr\u003eAt 15 cm per row end, CUT adds 85.5 m per color. NO-CUT has no repeated row-tail allowance. Enter each yarn label's meterage and ball weight; round every color separately to whole balls.\u003cbr\u003eIllustrative inputs only: sample weights A 3 g, B 2 g, C 2 g, D 1.5 g, E 1 g; all yarns 300 m per 100 g, 100 g balls; 12% A border and 10% reserve. These inputs yield:\u003cbr\u003eCUT: A 856 g \/ 2,567 m \/ 9 x 100 g balls; B 430 g \/ 1,289 m \/ 5 x 100 g balls; C 430 g \/ 1,289 m \/ 5 x 100 g balls; D 330 g \/ 990 m \/ 4 x 100 g balls; E 231 g \/ 692 m \/ 3 x 100 g balls\u003cbr\u003eNO-CUT: A 825 g \/ 2,473 m \/ 9 x 100 g balls; B 399 g \/ 1,195 m \/ 4 x 100 g balls; C 399 g \/ 1,195 m \/ 4 x 100 g balls; D 299 g \/ 896 m \/ 3 x 100 g balls; E 200 g \/ 598 m \/ 2 x 100 g balls\u003cbr\u003eReplace example inputs with the actual swatch for your chosen technique and method before purchasing yarn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePACKAGE CONTENTS\u003cbr\u003eFive PDFs: two Complete patterns, two vector One-Page charts and an 11-page yarn\/size\/finishing guide.\u003cbr\u003eAlso included: original 250 x 285 cell-grid PNG and CSV, color preview, five-color offline yarn-and-size calculator, English\/Chinese descriptions and English\/Chinese start guides.\u003cbr\u003eDigital instructions only.
