INCLUDED C2C CROCHET GUIDE
The separate illustrated guide provides an additional reference for the diagonal box crochet method.
It covers:
• Making the first C2C block
• Increasing along diagonal rows
• Joining neighboring blocks
• Reaching the longest diagonal
• Decreasing
• Reading pixel charts
• Color changes
• Common troubleshooting
The guide uses US crochet terminology and explains that each pixel square becomes one crochet block.
The first block begins with ch 6, with the first three chains acting as the turning chain and double crochet stitches forming the square block.
The guide also explains how to decrease after the longest diagonal by turning and slip-stitching inward rather than adding another outside block.
TWO-COLOR IVORY & DEEP RED DESIGN
The original pattern uses:
Ivory + Deep Red
This strong two-color contrast helps define the skull, botanical foliage, conservatory framework and architectural details clearly.
You may substitute your own preferred two-color combination while following the same chart.
Possible alternatives include:
Cream + Black
Ivory + Burgundy
Beige + Forest Green
Cream + Deep Plum
White + Charcoal
Ivory + Dark Brown
The supplied PDF instructions themselves use Ivory and Deep Red.

FINISHED SIZE
A fixed physical finished size is not specified in the pattern.
Your final dimensions will depend on:
• Yarn weight
• Crochet hook size
• Personal crochet tension
• Size of each finished C2C block
For better planning, make a small C2C swatch first.
Measure one completed block and calculate your approximate finished size using:
240 blocks wide × 340 blocks high
PROJECT EXPERIENCE
This is a substantial C2C graphgan containing:
579 diagonal C2C rows
81,600 total blocks
Basic familiarity with C2C crochet is recommended, especially with increasing, decreasing, changing colors, reading graph charts and following long written sequences.
The additional illustrated C2C guide is included as a reference, but because of the overall chart size and amount of detail, this is best approached as a larger long-term crochet project.
