The Professional Row Cards also include a Graph Overview designed to be used together with the row-by-row C2C instructions.

INCLUDED C2C CROCHET GUIDE
The additional 6-page C2C reference guide is included as a helpful technique resource.
It covers:
• How to make the first C2C block
• How to increase
• How to join neighboring blocks
• How to decrease
• How to read a pixel chart diagonally
• Color-change guidance
• Troubleshooting common C2C issues
The guide uses US crochet terms and explains that one pixel square becomes one crochet block.
It also explains the first block beginning with ch 6 and the standard C2C block structure using a ch-3 side plus 3 double crochets.
The decrease section explains how to stop adding a new outside block and move inward with slip stitches after reaching the longest diagonal.
TWO-COLOR CREAM & BLACK DESIGN
The original pattern uses:
Cream + Black
The strong contrast keeps the hourglass structure, roses, butterfly and botanical vines clearly defined.
Because the design uses only two colors, you may also substitute another color combination while following the same chart.
Possible alternatives include Cream + Burgundy, Ivory + Deep Green, Beige + Dark Brown, Cream + Deep Plum or White + Charcoal.
The supplied PDF instructions themselves use Cream and Black.
DESIGN FEATURES
The complete composition includes:
• Ornate hourglass
• Large rose in the upper chamber
• Multiple roses in the lower chamber
• Butterfly
• Botanical vines
• Decorative leaves
• Vintage ornamental frame details
• Symmetrical floral composition
The Graph Overview on page 3 shows the hourglass centered within climbing vines, with the butterfly positioned near the upper-left side and the rose motifs contained inside the hourglass.
SYMBOLIC & DECORATIVE STYLE
The combination of hourglass + roses + butterfly gives the design a distinctive symbolic quality.
It works especially well for:
Rose lovers
Butterfly lovers
Vintage botanical decor
Gothic-inspired interiors
Dark romantic decor
Nature-inspired crochet
Statement blankets
C2C graphgan projects
Meaningful handmade gifts
FINISHED SIZE
A fixed physical finished size is not specified in the PDFs.
Your final dimensions will depend on:
• Yarn weight
• Crochet hook size
• Personal crochet tension
• Size of each completed C2C block
For better planning, make a small C2C swatch first.
Measure one finished block and use:
240 blocks wide × 340 blocks high
to estimate the approximate final size.
