Product Description
Create a soft, romantic botanical crochet piece with this Pink Peony C2C crochet pattern set.
The design features a large layered pink peony bloom, a smaller side bud, branching green stems and multiple leaves, all framed by a slim forest-green border against an ivory background. Rose, coral, blush and peach tones give the flower depth, while sage and deeper greens define the foliage and stems.
Your download includes five English-language PDF files: four different ways to follow the same Pink Peony 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
- Each chart square is not one individual crochet stitch
- This is a large, detailed nine-color project
- Chart dimensions are block counts, not inches or centimeters
Finished size depends on your yarn, hook, block construction and personal 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.

It covers:
- Making the first C2C block

NINE-COLOR PALETTE
- A — Forest Green
- B — Deep Green
- C — Sage Green
- D — Dusty Rose
- E — Rose Pink
- F — Warm Peach
- G — Coral Pink
- H — Blush Pink
- I — Ivory
The pattern retains the complete nine-color source palette with no color reduction.
Rose Pink, Coral Pink and Blush Pink create the main peony petals, while Warm Peach and Dusty Rose provide smaller tonal details.
Sage Green and Deep Green define the leaves and stems, Forest Green forms the surrounding frame, and Ivory creates the light background.
Color names and RGB values are provided as visual references and are not specific yarn-brand shade matches.
Screen, printer and actual yarn colors may vary.
For the clearest result, keep enough contrast between the pink shades and between Sage Green, Deep Green and Forest Green.
HOW TO USE THE FILES
The Pink Peony sequence starts at the bottom-left corner.
Each written row represents one C2C diagonal.
- Odd-numbered rows: RS, lower-to-upper
- Even-numbered rows: WS, upper-to-lower
Follow the color runs from left to right in the order listed.
Written-row coordinates count from the bottom, while chart rows count from the top. A–I codes are used throughout the chart-based versions so similar shades remain easier to identify.
For this rectangular design, 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 immediately after Row 240. Continue through the rectangular middle section before starting the final decrease sequence.
The Premium Boxed Instructions, Professional Row Cards and Compact Row-by-Row Instructions all represent the same 579 diagonal rows in three different formats.
The Printable Chart Pack presents the same Pink Peony design visually, while the fifth PDF provides general technique support.
EXPERIENCE AND PROJECT NOTES
The included illustrated guide explains the core C2C technique, but the Pink Peony itself is a large multi-color project with 81,600 blocks and nine colors.
The layered petals, bud, branching stems and leaves create many detailed color changes.
This project is especially suitable for crocheters already comfortable with:
- C2C crochet blocks
- Pixel or graph patterns
- Rectangular C2C shaping
- Increasing and decreasing
- Multi-color crochet
- Short color runs
- Managing multiple yarn sections
If you are new to C2C crochet, practice on a smaller sample before beginning the full project.
MATERIALS
Yarn, crochet hook and physical materials are not included.
The PDFs provide color names, color codes and total block counts, but the supplied files do not provide a specific yarn-brand shopping list.
Your actual yarn requirements and finished dimensions will depend on:
- Yarn weight
- Hook size
- C2C block style
- Crochet tension
- Individual yarn choice
Making a swatch before beginning is recommended if you need to estimate finished size or yarn quantities.
VIEWING AND PRINTING
The 22-page Professional Printable Chart Pack divides the complete Pink Peony design into 20 enlarged chart sections for easier chart following.
The three written versions provide the same pattern in different levels of visual detail and text density.
You may view the files digitally or print the pages you prefer to work from.
For easier identification of the similar pink and green shades, use a color screen or color printer.
Scaling enlarged chart pages to a smaller print size will also reduce the chart squares, coordinates and letter codes.
