Add 2 A edge sc on each side: 254 worked stitches per row.\u003cbr\u003eInstructions: English, US crochet terms, right-handed directions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTWO TECHNIQUES, TWO METHODS EACH\u003cbr\u003eFour-color Overlay Mosaic hybrid: sc and overlay DC combined with color changes within rows. All four colors travel across every row; the three inactive strands are carried inside the stitches. The marked overlay stitches cover same-color cells, preserving the original color grid. This method requires in-row color changes rather than a single working color for an entire row.\u003cbr\u003eCUT uses one four-color group and cuts all four strands after every row; all arrows point left.\u003cbr\u003eNO-CUT uses two independent four-color groups: O for odd rows and E for even rows. Work two rows from the same side, then turn: left, left, right, right. Divide each color between the two groups, making eight working supplies in total. This does not double the yarn quantity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour-color Tapestry: back-loop single crochet with all three inactive colors carried in every stitch. Use one four-color group. CUT works every row from right to left; NO-CUT turns after every row, alternating left and right arrows.\u003cbr\u003eChoose ONE technique and ONE working method for a blanket. Each method has all 285 written rows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFILES INCLUDED\u003cbr\u003e127-page Mosaic complete PDF: stitch key, color changes, yarn handling, assembly map, 56 enlarged chart sheets, CUT setup and all 285 rows, NO-CUT setup and all 285 rows.\u003cbr\u003e85-page Tapestry complete PDF: color\/stitch key, assembly map, 56 enlarged chart sheets, CUT setup and all 285 rows, NO-CUT setup and all 285 rows.\u003cbr\u003eTwo separate high-resolution single-page chart PDFs for zoom viewing.\u003cbr\u003e12-page yarn, gauge and finishing guide, with measuring panels for both techniques, calculations, a simple border and an envelope border.\u003cbr\u003eOffline yarn and size calculator, two color previews, original full-grid image, original coordinate image, original color-cell CSV, English start guide and Chinese instructions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSIZE AND YARN\u003cbr\u003eThe picture is 50 x 57 in only at 5 stitches AND 5 rows per inch. With four additional side stitches, the body is 50.8 x 57 in (129.03 x 144.78 cm) at that gauge. An outside border adds to the dimensions. Measure stitch width and row height independently after washing your sample.\u003cbr\u003eChoose four smooth yarns of the same weight. Starting hook ranges: Fine\/Sport, 3.5-4.0 mm; DK\/Light Worsted, 4.0-4.5 mm; Aran\/Worsted, 5.0-5.5 mm. Final hook size and finished dimensions depend on your measured fabric.\u003cbr\u003eMeasure each yarn separately, including carried yarn. Mosaic uses four 20 x 20 measured panels; Tapestry uses one 20 x 20 measured panel. Each panel has two additional setup rows. Use the selected technique's own measurements in the calculator.\u003cbr\u003eThe calculator includes the side stitches, an adjustable A-color border allowance, CUT row tails and 10% extra yarn by default. It rounds each color up to whole balls using that color's label. NO-CUT has no repeated row-tail allowance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eILLUSTRATIVE YARN EXAMPLE - replace with your measured panel weights before buying yarn\u003cbr\u003eMosaic panel weights A\/B\/C\/D: panel A 4\/1\/1\/1 g; panel B 1\/4\/1\/1 g; panel C 1\/1\/4\/1 g; panel D 1\/1\/1\/3.5 g.
