Working-order row instructions

BEFORE YOU START

A simple color graph for single-crochet projects.

Turn an image into a color-by-color plan for a blanket panel, cushion front or small motif. This is the general single-crochet graph tool: start here when you want a clear color layout without committing to a carried-yarn technique.

BEST FOR

Flat image panels and general single-crochet color planning.

READ THE GRID

One cell is one single crochet.

THE KEY SETTING

Your swatch gauge, working hand and row construction.

From idea to a useful chart

Make a swatch

Measure stitches and rows across 10 cm in the stitch and yarn you will actually use.

Build the color layout

Upload a cropped image or draw on a blank chart. Enter your yarn colors and simplify isolated cells.

Follow the working order

Choose flat rows or unturned rounds. The row list changes direction to match the selected construction and working hand.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from the tapestry crochet tool?

Both use a single-crochet color grid. Use this general graph when you are choosing how to manage colors. Use the tapestry tool when you intend to carry unused yarn inside the stitches and want guidance for that construction.

Can I use this for corner-to-corner crochet?

Not directly. A C2C block and its diagonal working order are different from the one-cell-per-single-crochet model used here.

Why does the photo change height when I generate it?

With Preserve photo proportions enabled, the tool uses your horizontal and vertical gauge to calculate the row count. Turn it off if you want to set both dimensions yourself.

Does the chart include a complete blanket pattern?

It provides the color graph, working-order rows and estimated size. Borders, joining methods, shaping and yarn quantities must be planned separately.
