Evergreen branches and a bow complete the festive scene, with forest-green motifs on a warm-cream background and a full double-line frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePATTERN SPECIFICATIONS\u003cbr\u003e250 picture stitches x 285 rows: all 71,250 original color positions and the complete frame.\u003cbr\u003eA warm cream: 49,336 picture cells.\u003cbr\u003eB forest green: 21,914 picture cells.\u003cbr\u003eBoth techniques add 2 A edge sc per side: 254 worked stitches per row. Foundation ch 255.\u003cbr\u003eEnglish instructions, US crochet terms and right-handed directions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTWO TECHNIQUES\u003cbr\u003eTapestry: BLO single crochet on both RS and WS, carrying the inactive strand inside each stitch.\u003cbr\u003eMosaic: tapestry-overlay hybrid with color changes within rows. A\/B without X are sc; BX is a forest green anchored overlay DC. Every X is on an odd RS row where the current cell and two cells below have the same color. Both yarns travel through each row, with the inactive strand enclosed, including in each DC anchoring loop.\u003cbr\u003eMosaic CUT uses BLO sc. Mosaic NO-CUT uses BLO sc on odd RS rows and FLO sc on even WS rows; only marked odd-row cells use anchored DC. The pattern includes the full anchored-stitch instructions and an illustrated reading example.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCUT AND NO-CUT\u003cbr\u003eEach technique includes separate setup and every written row for BOTH methods.\u003cbr\u003eCUT: all rows right to left with RS facing; cut both yarns after each row.\u003cbr\u003eNO-CUT: keep both yarns attached and turn after EVERY row; odd rows right to left, even rows left to right.\u003cbr\u003eChoose one method. Row 1 is at the bottom; column 1 is on the right. Written sequences are already in working order. Finish a whole 250-stitch picture row across page joins before starting the next row; add the four edge stitches only at the outer sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eREADABLE CHARTS\u003cbr\u003eEach complete PDF includes 56 A4 chart sections in 8 columns x 7 bands, with 31-32 columns and 40-41 rows per section. Print at 100% \/ Actual size for 5.5 mm square cells. Every tile has a 10-cell \/ 55 mm ruler, color letters, row\/column labels, heavier lines every 10 cells and essential reading rules.\u003cbr\u003eMosaic marks are 8.2 pt bold; Tapestry letters 9 pt bold; coordinate labels 9 pt. Written sequences use 10.3 pt text with visible direction arrows. A numbered assembly map gives exact sheet ranges.\u003cbr\u003eThe matching large-format vector single-page charts are for screen zoom. Use A4 sections for printing; fitting the whole design onto one A4 sheet reduces cell size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYARN AND SIZE\u003cbr\u003eUse two smooth yarns of the same weight, a suitable hook, markers, scissors, blunt needle, tape measure and scale. Make the measuring panel for the chosen technique and CUT\/NO-CUT method. Weigh each color, including the carried strand. The 9-page guide includes complete sample rows, edge\/chain calibration, formulas, a worked example and two border options.\u003cbr\u003eThe offline calculator starts with blank measurements. It calculates picture yarn, side edges, foundation\/lifting chains, an adjustable A outside border (default 12%), applicable CUT tails and reserve (default 10%). Each color has its own yarn label and independently rounded ball count.\u003cbr\u003eCUT tails at 15 cm per end add 85.5 meters PER COLOR. NO-CUT has no repeated-row tails.\u003cbr\u003eAt exactly 5 stitches and 5 rows per inch, the picture is 50 x 57 in; the body including side stitches is 50.8 x 57 in before an outside border. Finished size depends on washed gauge.\u003cbr\u003eBody width = 254 x washed 20-stitch width \/ 20.\u003cbr\u003eBody height = 285 x washed 20-row height \/ 20.\u003cbr\u003eAn outside border adds twice its width to both dimensions. With a 10 x 10 cm 20-stitch\/20-row swatch, the body is 127 x 142.5 cm before a border. Yarn quantities in the example demonstrate calculations; enter personal sample measurements for shopping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePACKAGE\u003cbr\u003eTwo complete pattern PDFs; two single-page vector charts; a 9-page yarn\/size\/finishing guide; offline calculator; original cell PNG and CSV; full-picture preview; written-row CSV; English\/Chinese descriptions and start guides.\u003cbr\u003eDigital instructions only.
