Product Description
Heron and Irises C2C Crochet Mosaic Pattern
Create an elegant nature-inspired crochet statement piece with the Heron and Irises C2C Crochet Mosaic Pattern.
This detailed two-color C2C graphgan features a graceful heron standing among tall blooming irises and long botanical leaves.
The heron forms the central focal point of the design, with its long curved neck, slender beak and extended wing creating a dramatic silhouette. Tall iris flowers rise along the left side, while an additional iris bloom and foliage frame the lower-right section.
Subtle horizontal water lines beneath the bird complete the scene, giving the composition a peaceful wetland and garden-inspired character.
The original pattern uses Peach + Teal, creating a soft but distinctive contrast that allows the heron, flowers, feathers, leaves and water details to remain clearly visible.
This design is especially suitable for bird lovers, iris and flower lovers, botanical interiors, nature-inspired rooms, garden decor and statement crochet projects.

INCLUDED C2C CROCHET GUIDE
The additional illustrated English guide uses US crochet terms.
It covers:
• Making the first C2C block
• Increasing along diagonal rows
• Joining neighboring blocks
• Working toward the longest diagonal
• Decreasing
• Reading pixel charts
• Color changes
• Troubleshooting common C2C issues
The guide explains that each pixel square becomes one crochet block. diagonal_box_crochet_pixel_patt…
The first block begins with ch 6, with the first three chains acting as the turning chain and the remaining three worked with double crochet. diagonal_box_crochet_pixel_patt…
After the longest diagonal, decreasing begins by turning and slip-stitching inward rather than adding another outside block. diagonal_box_crochet_pixel_patt…
TWO-COLOR PEACH & TEAL DESIGN
The supplied pattern uses:
Peach + Teal
Peach creates the light background, while Teal defines the heron, wing feathers, iris flowers, stems, leaves and water details.
Because the graph uses only two colors, you can also substitute your preferred combination while following the same chart.
Possible alternatives include:
Cream + Deep Teal
Ivory + Navy
Warm White + Forest Green
Blush + Burgundy
Cream + Charcoal
Beige + Dark Blue
The supplied PDFs themselves use Peach and Teal. Heron_Irises_C2C_178x252_Premiu…

FINISHED SIZE
A fixed physical finished size is not specified in the PDFs.
Your actual finished dimensions will depend on:
• Yarn weight
• Crochet hook size
• Personal crochet tension
• Finished size of each C2C block
For better planning, make a small C2C swatch first.
Measure one completed block and calculate your approximate finished dimensions using:
178 blocks wide × 252 blocks high
With 44,856 total blocks, this is more compact than the larger 240 × 340 designs while still retaining detailed floral and bird imagery.
PROJECT EXPERIENCE
This C2C graphgan contains:
429 diagonal C2C rows
44,856 total C2C blocks
Basic familiarity with C2C crochet is recommended, particularly with increasing, decreasing, following graph charts, color changes and written block sequences.
Because the design uses only two colors, the overall color palette remains straightforward even though the heron feathers and floral sections contain detailed shapes.
IMPORTANT PATTERN NOTE
For transparency, the PDF states that the chart was reconstructed from the supplied image, and that mixed cells use the majority color. Heron_Irises_C2C_178x252_Premiu…
This information is included so buyers can understand how the pixel chart was prepared before beginning the project.
The printable chart, row cards and written instructions are all based on the same 178 × 252 reconstructed design.
