Product Description

Create an elegant botanical crochet project with this Purple Iris C2C crochet pattern set.

The design features a large, sculptural purple iris bloom with layered petals, a smaller upright flower bud, dark teal stems and long sword-shaped green leaves. Lavender, pale lilac and deep purple build the dimensional flower, while subtle peach and soft-gray details add contrast. An ivory background keeps the floral motif light and clearly defined, and a slim border-green frame surrounds the complete composition.

Your download includes five English-language PDF files: four different ways to follow the same Purple Iris design, plus a six-page illustrated diagonal box crochet technique 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
• Pattern type: C2C / corner-to-corner crochet graphgan
• Each chart square represents one C2C block, not one individual crochet stitch
• Complete 9-color design
• Original cell positions are retained
• No color reduction
• Chart dimensions are block counts, not inches or centimeters

The source files specify the complete rectangular shaping sequence as Rows 1–240 Increase, Rows 241–340 Rectangle Middle and Rows 341–579 Decrease.

Finished dimensions depend on the size of your completed C2C blocks.

For scale only, if each completed block measures approximately 1 cm square, the finished design would measure about 240 × 340 cm / 2.4 × 3.4 meters, before any additional edging.

WHAT YOU RECEIVE — 5 PDF FILES

1. Professional Printable Chart Pack — 22 pages

A detailed visual chart version of the complete Purple Iris design.

The full 240 × 340 graph is divided into 20 enlarged chart sections. Each section identifies its position within the complete design and includes row and column coordinates. Coordinates are shown every 10 blocks, and each chart square represents one C2C block.

Includes:

• Full-design cover reference
• Complete 9-color A–I key
• 20 enlarged chart sections
• Row and column coordinates
• Section-position references
• Original-area reference guides
• Coordinates every 10 blocks
• A–I codes inside the chart cells

This format is useful for crocheters who prefer following the design visually from a pixel graph.

2. Premium Boxed Written Instructions — 33 pages

A spacious written version covering all 579 diagonal crochet rows.

Each diagonal is presented separately and uses the full color names rather than only A–I letter codes.

Includes:

• Full color names
• Consecutive block counts
• Individual row sections
• RS / WS labels
• Reading-direction arrows
• Total squares per row
• Complete color-run sequences

The pattern begins with Row 001 — one Ivory block and continues through Row 579 — one Ivory block.

3. Professional Row Cards — 67 pages

A visual row-card version designed for following one diagonal at a time.

Each row panel includes:

• Row number
• Total number of blocks
• RS / WS designation
• Lower-to-upper or upper-to-lower reading direction
• Row-coordinate range
• Column-coordinate range
• A–I color tags
• Consecutive coded block runs

The Row Cards clearly show the alternating RS/WS structure from the beginning of the project.

The file continues through the complete 579-row sequence.

4. Compact Row-by-Row Block Instructions — 17 pages

A condensed written version of the same complete Purple Iris pattern.

Each row includes:

• Row number
• RS / WS label
• Total block count
• Reading direction
• Row coordinates
• Column coordinates
• A–I color-code sequence
• Consecutive block counts

This version places more rows on each page, making it convenient for digital viewing or for crocheters who prefer a compact text reference.

The same A–I coding system is used throughout the compact instructions.

5. Diagonal Box Crochet for Pixel Patterns — 6 pages

An illustrated technique reference explaining how to turn pixel charts into diagonal crochet blocks.

The guide uses US crochet terms and explains that each pixel square becomes one crochet block. It includes ch, dc and sl st, with a typical block described as a ch-3 side plus 3 dc.

The guide covers:

• Making the first C2C block
• Increasing along diagonal rows
• Joining neighboring blocks
• Working the longest diagonal
• Decreasing
• Reading pixel charts diagonally
• Color-change guidance
• Troubleshooting
• Single crochet edging reference

It also explains that rectangular charts may contain a middle section before the decrease begins.

NINE-COLOR PALETTE

• A — Border Green — 3,330 blocks
• B — Stem Teal — 1,993 blocks
• C — Sage Green — 8,977 blocks
• D — Deep Purple — 4,077 blocks
• E — Soft Gray — 898 blocks
• F — Lavender — 9,169 blocks
• G — Pale Lilac — 4,073 blocks
• H — Peach — 1,039 blocks
• I — Ivory — 48,044 blocks

Together, the nine colors account for all 81,600 blocks in the design. The files explicitly state that the original nine-color palette is retained without color reduction.

Lavender forms much of the main iris petals, while Deep Purple creates the stronger shadowed petal areas. Pale Lilac provides lighter highlights, and Peach adds small warm accents within the flower.

Sage Green forms the long foliage, Stem Teal defines the darker structural stems, and Border Green creates the slim surrounding frame. Ivory forms the main background, while Soft Gray is used for additional subtle detail.

The supplied color names and RGB values are reference colors, not specific yarn-brand shade recommendations.

Screen, printer and yarn colors may vary, so maintain clear contrast between Deep Purple, Lavender and Pale Lilac, as well as between Sage Green, Stem Teal and Border Green.

HOW TO USE THE FILES

Start the Purple Iris sequence 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. Chart cells use the A–I codes to help distinguish similar shades.

For this rectangular design, follow the project-specific construction:

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 beginning the 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 layouts.

The Professional Printable Chart Pack presents the same Purple Iris design visually, while the fifth PDF provides general C2C technique support.

EXPERIENCE AND PROJECT NOTES

The Purple Iris is a substantial multi-color C2C project with 81,600 blocks and nine colors.

The large layered iris petals, smaller flower bud, long leaves and narrow stems create a mix of broad color areas and more detailed sections with shorter color changes.

The included technique guide provides illustrated instructions for increasing, decreasing, joining blocks and reading pixel charts. It also includes troubleshooting guidance for curling edges, uneven block proportions, mirrored charts and yarn tangles.

If you are new to C2C crochet, practicing the basic block construction on a smaller sample before beginning the full 240 × 340 project can make the larger chart easier to manage.

COLOR & MATERIAL PLANNING

The PDFs provide:

• Exact block totals for each color
• A–I color codes
• Color names
• RGB reference values

The color references are not tied to a specific yarn brand, so you can choose your own yarn line and match the nine shades as closely as you prefer.

Finished size and yarn usage will depend on your chosen yarn, hook, block construction and personal tension. A sample swatch is useful if you need to estimate your finished dimensions before starting the full project.

VIEWING AND PRINTING

The 22-page chart pack divides the complete design into 20 enlarged chart sections, with coordinates shown every 10 blocks for easier navigation.

The three written versions offer different levels of spacing and information density:

• Boxed format for larger, separated written rows
• Row Cards for visually isolated diagonal instructions
• Compact format for fitting more rows onto each page

The PDFs can be viewed digitally or printed as needed.

For easier distinction between the similar purple and green shades, color viewing or color printing is recommended.
