Product Description
Create a graceful botanical crochet project with this Moth Orchid C2C pattern set.
The design features a softly curved orchid stem with blush-toned flowers and buds, layered green foliage, and a slim deep-green frame against a warm white background. Soft coral, orchid blush and warm taupe add definition to the flowers, while sage, moss and deeper greens create the stem, leaves and border.
Your download includes five English-language PDF files: four different ways to follow the same Moth Orchid design, plus a six-page illustrated diagonal box crochet guide using US crochet terms.
PROJECT SIZE — PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING
- Chart size: 240 blocks wide × 340 blocks high
- Total: 81,600 C2C blocks
- Total diagonal crochet rows: 579
- Each chart square represents one C2C block, not one individual stitch
- This is a large, detailed nine-color project
- Chart dimensions are block counts, not inches or centimeters
The pattern uses a rectangular C2C construction with Rows 1–240 increasing, Rows 241–340 forming the rectangular middle, and Rows 341–579 decreasing.
Finished size depends on your yarn, hook, block style and tension.
For scale only, if each completed C2C block measures approximately 1 cm square, the finished piece would measure approximately 240 × 340 cm / 2.4 × 3.4 meters, before any additional edging.
Make a swatch before starting if you need to estimate your own finished dimensions.
WHAT YOU RECEIVE — 5 PDF FILES
1. Professional Printable Chart Pack — 22 pages
A detailed printable version of the complete Moth Orchid design.
The chart pack contains the full pattern information together with 20 enlarged chart sections. Each square represents one C2C block, and the enlarged sections include row and column coordinates for easier navigation. The chart uses the A–I color-code system so similar shades can be distinguished.
Includes:
- Full-design reference
- Nine-color A–I key
- Pattern dimensions and total block count
- 20 enlarged chart sections
- Row and column coordinates
- Section-position references
- Color-coded chart cells
- Coordinates shown throughout the enlarged grid
2. Premium Boxed Written Instructions — 33 pages
A spacious written format covering all 579 Moth Orchid diagonal rows.
Each diagonal is displayed in an individual boxed format using the full color names rather than only letter codes. The instructions also identify RS/WS direction and the total number of blocks in each row.
Includes:
- Full color names
- Consecutive block counts
- Individual diagonal-row boxes
- RS / WS labels
- Direction arrows
- Row totals
- Complete color-run sequences
This format is useful for crocheters who prefer reading full shade names instead of relying primarily on letter codes.
3. Professional Row Cards — 64 pages
A visual row-card version of the Moth Orchid pattern with individual color-coded instruction panels.
The file uses the same nine-color A–I key and gives the block count, RS/WS designation, reading direction, and row/column coordinate range for each diagonal.
For example, the row cards clearly alternate between RS lower-to-upper and WS upper-to-lower directions while displaying the appropriate letter-coded color sequence.
Includes:
- Graph overview
- Individual row panels
- Colored A–I tags
- Block counts
- RS / WS labels
- Reading direction
- Row-coordinate ranges
- Column-coordinate ranges
4. Compact Row-by-Row Block Instructions — 16 pages
A condensed version of the full Moth Orchid written pattern.
This format places more diagonal rows on each page while preserving the information needed to follow the design: row number, RS/WS, reading direction, coordinates, total blocks and A–I color runs.
The compact instructions begin with individual diagonal rows and continue through the complete rectangular C2C sequence.
This version is especially convenient for digital viewing or for crocheters who prefer a more condensed written layout.
5. Diagonal Box Crochet for Pixel Patterns — 6 pages
An illustrated technique reference for turning pixel charts into diagonal crochet blocks.
The guide uses US crochet terminology and explains the core principle that each pixel square becomes one crochet block. It covers the basic C2C workflow, including increasing, joining blocks and decreasing.
The guide includes:
- Making the first block
- Increasing along a diagonal
- Joining neighboring blocks
- Working the longest diagonal
- Decreasing
- Reading pixel charts diagonally
- Color-change guidance
- Troubleshooting
- Single crochet edging reference
US crochet abbreviations include ch, dc and sl st.
NINE-COLOR PALETTE
- A — Warm White
- B — Dusty Rose Beige
- C — Orchid Blush
- D — Soft Coral
- E — Warm Taupe
- F — Sage Green
- G — Moss Green
- H — Deep Pine
- I — Forest Green
The PDFs include the exact block total for every color. Warm White is the largest area of the design, while Orchid Blush and Soft Coral form much of the floral coloring and the green shades create the foliage, stems and frame.
Color names and RGB values are provided as visual references and are not specific yarn-brand shade recommendations.
Choose yarn colors with enough separation between the blush, coral and taupe shades, and maintain clear contrast between Sage Green, Moss Green, Deep Pine and Forest Green.
Screen, printer and yarn colors may vary.
HOW TO USE THE FILES
The Moth Orchid sequence begins at the bottom-left corner.
Each written row represents one C2C diagonal, and color runs are followed in the listed order.
- Odd rows: RS, lower-to-upper
- Even rows: WS, upper-to-lower
Written-row coordinates count from the bottom, while chart rows are referenced from the top. The chart cells use A–I codes to help distinguish similar colors.
Follow the project-specific shaping sequence:
Rows 1–240 — Increase
Rows 241–340 — Rectangular middle
Rows 341–579 — Decrease
Do not begin the final decrease sequence immediately after Row 240. Because this is a rectangular 240 × 340 design, continue through the 100-row rectangular middle section before beginning the decrease portion.
The Premium Boxed Instructions, Professional Row Cards and Compact Row-by-Row Instructions all represent the same 579 diagonal rows in three different layouts.
The Professional Printable Chart Pack is another way to follow that same Moth Orchid design. The fifth PDF is a general C2C technique reference rather than a second pattern.
EXPERIENCE AND MATERIALS
The included six-page guide explains the core diagonal box crochet technique, including how to increase, decrease and read a pixel chart. It also provides color-change and troubleshooting guidance.
Because the Moth Orchid design contains 81,600 blocks, nine colors and many detailed color changes, it is a substantial project.
It is most practical for crocheters comfortable working with:
- C2C blocks
- Rectangular shaping
- Multi-color crochet
- Written color sequences
- Pixel or graph charts
- Repeated yarn changes
If C2C crochet is new to you, working a small practice sample before beginning the full 240 × 340 design can make the larger project easier to manage.
Yarn, crochet hook and physical materials are not included.
Use your own swatch to determine suitable yarn, hook size, finished dimensions and material requirements.
VIEWING AND PRINTING
The 22-page Professional Printable Chart Pack is formatted in A3 size and divides the complete design into 20 enlarged chart sections.
The 33-page Boxed Written Instructions, 64-page Professional Row Cards, 16-page Compact Row-by-Row Instructions and 6-page technique guide are formatted for US Letter.
You may follow the files digitally or print the pages you need.
For the clearest results, use a color screen or color printer so the subtle blush, coral, taupe and green shades remain easy to distinguish.
Scaling the enlarged chart to smaller paper will make the grid and coordinate information smaller.
