Product Description
Bring sculptural tropical foliage and bold botanical color to your next crochet project with this Bird of Paradise Flower C2C crochet pattern set.
The design features two stylized bird-of-paradise blooms in warm burnt-orange and golden tones, surrounded by tall stems and elongated tropical leaves. Olive, muted green and deep leaf-green shades create layered foliage, while a warm white background keeps the botanical forms clean and distinct. A slim forest-green frame surrounds the complete composition.
Your download includes five English-language PDF files: four different ways to follow the same Bird of Paradise Flower design, plus a six-page illustrated diagonal box crochet technique guide using US crochet terms.
PROJECT SIZE — PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING
- Chart size: 240 blocks wide × 340 blocks high
- Total: 81,600 C2C blocks
- Total diagonal crochet rows: 579
- Pattern type: C2C / corner-to-corner crochet graphgan
- Each chart square represents one C2C block, not one individual stitch
- This is a large, detailed 8-color project
- Chart dimensions are block counts, not inches or centimeters
The project-specific pattern is divided into three construction sections:
Rows 1–240 — Increase
Rows 241–340 — Rectangular Middle
Rows 341–579 — Decrease
These dimensions and row sections are specified directly in the pattern files.
Finished size depends on your yarn, hook, C2C block construction and personal tension.
For scale only, if each completed C2C block measures approximately 1 cm square, the finished piece would measure about 240 × 340 cm / 2.4 × 3.4 meters, before any additional edging.
Making a swatch before starting is recommended if you need to calculate your own finished dimensions or estimate yarn requirements.
WHAT YOU RECEIVE — 5 PDF FILES
1. Professional Printable Chart Pack — 22 pages
A detailed visual chart version of the complete Bird of Paradise Flower design.
The full graph is divided into 20 enlarged chart sections. Each section identifies its location within the complete 240 × 340 design and includes row and column ranges, an original-area reference and coordinates shown every 10 blocks. Each chart square represents one C2C block.
Includes:
- Full-design reference
- Complete A–H color key
- 20 enlarged chart sections
- Row and column coordinates
- Section-position references
- Original-area reference guides
- Coordinates every 10 blocks
- A–H codes inside the chart cells
The letter codes are especially helpful for distinguishing similar neutral and green shades.
2. Premium Boxed Written Instructions — 63 pages
A spacious written version covering the complete 579 diagonal crochet rows.
Instead of relying only on A–H codes, this version spells out the full color names and places each diagonal row in a clearly separated written format.
Includes:
- Full color names
- Consecutive block counts
- RS / WS labels
- Reading-direction arrows
- Total squares for each row
- Complete color-run sequences
The file continues through Row 579, finishing with one Warm White block.
3. Professional Row Cards — 122 pages
A highly detailed visual row-card format designed for following individual diagonals one at a time.
Each row panel includes:
- Row number
- Total number of blocks
- RS / WS designation
- Lower-to-upper or upper-to-lower reading direction
- Row-coordinate range
- Column-coordinate range
- A–H color tags
- Consecutive block runs
The beginning of the Row Cards clearly shows the alternating RS/WS structure, block totals and coordinate ranges for each diagonal.
The file continues through the complete 579-row sequence.
4. Compact Row-by-Row Block Instructions — 25 pages
A condensed written version of the same complete Bird of Paradise Flower pattern.
Each row includes:
- Row number
- RS / WS label
- Total number of blocks
- Reading direction
- Row-coordinate range
- Column-coordinate range
- A–H letter-coded color sequence
- Consecutive block counts
The compact version places substantially more rows on each page and is useful for digital viewing or for crocheters who prefer a denser written format. Its structure begins with Row 001 as a single A block and continues through the full pattern.
5. Diagonal Box Crochet for Pixel Patterns — 6 pages
An illustrated technique guide explaining how to work pixel charts as diagonal crochet blocks.
The guide uses US crochet terminology and explains that each pixel square corresponds to one crochet block. The core abbreviations include ch, dc and sl st, and a standard block is normally built from a ch-3 side plus 3 dc.
It covers:
- Making the first C2C block
- Increasing along diagonal rows
- Joining neighboring blocks
- Working the longest diagonal
- Decreasing
- Reading pixel charts diagonally
- Color-change guidance
- Troubleshooting
- Single crochet edging reference
The guide also explains that rectangular charts may contain a middle section before the final decrease begins.
EIGHT-COLOR PALETTE
- A — Warm White — 37,169 blocks
- B — Soft Linen — 11,835 blocks
- C — Golden Sand — 3,618 blocks
- D — Burnt Orange — 3,006 blocks
- E — Olive Sage — 4,632 blocks
- F — Muted Olive — 3,874 blocks
- G — Deep Leaf Green — 14,136 blocks
- H — Forest Green — 3,330 blocks
Together, the eight colors account for all 81,600 blocks in the design.
Burnt Orange creates the distinctive bird-of-paradise blooms, while Golden Sand provides warmer contrasting details. Olive Sage and Muted Olive add softer botanical shading, and Deep Leaf Green builds much of the stronger foliage and stem structure.
Forest Green provides the darkest green details and surrounding frame, while Warm White and Soft Linen form the light neutral areas.
The PDFs specifically state that the color names and RGB values are references, not yarn-brand shade recommendations.
Actual yarn, screen and printer colors may differ. Keep enough contrast between Olive Sage, Muted Olive, Deep Leaf Green and Forest Green so that the foliage remains clearly defined.
HOW TO USE THE FILES
Start the Bird of Paradise Flower pattern at the bottom-left corner.
Each written row represents one C2C diagonal, and the color runs are followed from left to right.
Odd-numbered rows: RS, lower-to-upper
Even-numbered rows: WS, upper-to-lower
The files also note that written row coordinates count from the bottom, while chart rows are referenced from the top. Chart cells use the A–H codes so similar colors can be distinguished more easily.
For this rectangular 240 × 340 project, follow the project-specific sequence:
Rows 1–240 — Increase
Rows 241–340 — Rectangular Middle
Rows 341–579 — Decrease
Continue through the full rectangular middle section before beginning the final decrease.
The Premium Boxed Instructions, Professional Row Cards and Compact Row-by-Row Instructions are three different written layouts for the same 579 diagonal rows.
The Professional Printable Chart Pack presents the same design visually, while the fifth PDF provides general C2C technique support.
EXPERIENCE AND PROJECT NOTES
The included illustrated guide explains the core diagonal box crochet method, but the Bird of Paradise Flower itself is a substantial multi-color project.
With 81,600 blocks and eight colors, the design includes numerous transitions between neutral background shades, orange floral sections and several closely related foliage greens.
This project is particularly suitable for crocheters comfortable with:
- C2C crochet blocks
- Pixel or graph patterns
- Rectangular C2C shaping
- Increasing and decreasing
- Multiple color changes
- Written block sequences
- Managing several yarn colors
If C2C crochet is new to you, the included guide provides the basic construction method, and practicing on a small sample first may make the full project easier to manage.
MATERIALS
Yarn, crochet hook and physical materials are not included.
The PDFs provide color names, RGB references and exact block totals for each color. These block totals should not be treated as direct yarn-yardage estimates.
Your actual material requirements and finished dimensions will depend on:
- Yarn weight
- Hook size
- C2C block construction
- Crochet tension
- Individual yarn choice
Use a swatch to estimate finished dimensions and yarn quantities before beginning the full project.
VIEWING AND PRINTING
The 22-page Professional Printable Chart Pack divides the full 240 × 340 graph into 20 enlarged sections, with coordinates and position references for easier navigation.
The three written versions offer different levels of spacing and visual detail, allowing you to choose between large boxed instructions, individual row cards or a compact row-by-row format.
You can follow the PDFs digitally or print the pages you need.
For easier identification of the subtle neutral and green shades, use a color display or color printing whenever possible.
