A red-and-green checked border and ivory inner frame complete the Christmas design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePATTERN SPECIFICATIONS\u003cbr\u003e380 chart stitches x 570 rows; 216,600 original color positions.\u003cbr\u003eA Red; B Forest green; C Deep teal; D Gold; E Ivory; F Dark burgundy.\u003cbr\u003eVisible cell counts: A 85,440, B 57,382, C 10,584, D 10,872, E 51,938, F 384. Visible areas do not equal yarn requirements.\u003cbr\u003eBoth techniques preserve every original color cell and the complete picture frame.\u003cbr\u003eEach worked row adds 2 A edge sc on either side: 384 stitches. Foundation: ch 385.\u003cbr\u003eEnglish instructions use US crochet terminology and right-handed directions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTWO COMPLETE TECHNIQUES\u003cbr\u003eTapestry: 235 pages. Work each chart cell as BLO single crochet and carry all five inactive strands inside every stitch.\u003cbr\u003eMosaic: 260 pages. A tapestry-overlay hybrid combines within-row color changes with anchored overlay DC in selected A, B, C, D and F cells. It uses all six colors, including within individual rows. All 71,038 marked DC are on odd rows and lie above two cells of the same color; the remaining positions are sc. There is no added closing row.\u003cbr\u003eMosaic CUT uses BLO sc throughout. Mosaic NO-CUT uses BLO sc and the marked DC on odd RS rows, and FLO sc on even WS rows. The yarn letter identifies the color; X identifies an anchored DC. Ivory E cells use sc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCUT AND NO-CUT\u003cbr\u003eEach technique includes two complete alternatives with separate setup and all 570 written rows.\u003cbr\u003eCUT: keep RS facing; every row travels right to left. Fasten off all six colors after each row.\u003cbr\u003eNO-CUT: keep all six attached and turn after EVERY row; odd rows right to left, even rows left to right. Ch 2 at each turn, not counted as a stitch. Choose one method for the whole blanket.\u003cbr\u003eBoth techniques enclose all five inactive strands even where a color is not visible. This makes a substantial fabric; use a six-strand swatch to choose yarn, hook and drape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eENLARGED PRINTABLE CHARTS\u003cbr\u003eEach Complete PDF contains 168 A4 chart sheets arranged in 12 columns and 14 bands. Each sheet covers 31-32 columns and 40-41 rows. Print at Actual size \/ 100% for 5.5 mm cells. A 10-cell scale bar must measure 55 mm.\u003cbr\u003eFour readable assembly-map panels, stitch\/chart keys, reading examples, direction arrows, row\/column numbers and bold rules every 10 cells are included. Symbols and yarn letters support color or monochrome printing.\u003cbr\u003eSeparate large-format vector single-page charts are for screen zoom. Use the A4 sections for printing; shrinking the entire chart to one A4 page makes the cells too small.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFINISHED SIZE\u003cbr\u003eSize depends on your washed swatch. For a measured 20-stitch width w cm and 20-row height h cm:\u003cbr\u003eBody width = 384 x w \/ 20. Body height = 570 x h \/ 20.\u003cbr\u003eA border b cm wide adds 2b to both dimensions.\u003cbr\u003eFor example, 20 stitches and 20 rows per 10 cm give a body 192 x 285 cm (75.6 x 112.2 in), before an additional outside border. This is a gauge example, not a fixed finished size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYARN PLANNING\u003cbr\u003eUse six smooth, same-weight yarns and a suitable hook. Also prepare scissors, a blunt needle, markers, tape measure and a 0.1 g scale.\u003cbr\u003eThe 11-page yarn guide includes separate measuring panels and row instructions for each technique and method. Weigh every color independently, including hidden carried yarn. Minor color F is carried throughout and requires more than its visible cell count alone suggests.\u003cbr\u003eEach color's net 20 x 20 sample weight is multiplied by 547.2 to estimate the body including side stitches. Add an adjustable A red border allowance (default 12% of combined body grams), applicable CUT tails and 10% reserve for foundation chains, joins, starting\/finishing ends and variation.\u003cbr\u003eAt 15 cm per row end, CUT adds 171 m per color; NO-CUT has no repeated row-tail allowance. The calculator converts each label's meters and grams and rounds each color independently to whole balls.\u003cbr\u003eIllustrative inputs only: sample weights A 3 g, B 2.5 g, C 1.5 g, D 1.5 g, E 2 g, F 1 g; 300 m \/ 100 g yarn, 100 g balls; 12% A border and 10% reserve. With these inputs:\u003cbr\u003eCUT: A 2,700 g \/ 27 x 100 g balls; B 1,568 g \/ 16 x 100 g balls; C 966 g \/ 10 x 100 g balls; D 966 g \/ 10 x 100 g balls; E 1,267 g \/ 13 x 100 g balls; F 665 g \/ 7 x 100 g balls\u003cbr\u003eNO-CUT: A 2,637 g \/ 27 x 100 g balls; B 1,505 g \/ 16 x 100 g balls; C 903 g \/ 10 x 100 g balls; D 903 g \/ 10 x 100 g balls; E 1,204 g \/ 13 x 100 g balls; F 602 g \/ 7 x 100 g balls\u003cbr\u003eReplace these examples with actual swatch data before purchasing your project yarn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePACKAGE CONTENTS\u003cbr\u003eFive PDFs: two complete patterns, two single-page charts and the 11-page yarn\/size\/finishing guide.\u003cbr\u003eOriginal 380 x 570 cell-grid PNG and CSV, color preview, offline yarn-and-size calculator, English\/Chinese product descriptions and English\/Chinese start guides.\u003cbr\u003eDigital crochet instructions only.
