What you get

• Tapestry crochet: a chart with row numbers and a color key, which way each row reads, how to carry the unused yarn, and color changes on the last yarn-over
• Corner-to-corner: increasing then decreasing diagonals, the block count and block colors for each diagonal, and how many yarn bobbins to wind
• Granny squares: stitch counts for every round, corners, and joining a new color
• Every square: an edging, fastening off, weaving in, blocking, gauge notes, yarn per color that adds up to the total, and a printable PDF

Your colors and share links

Color A is the main color and the edging, and the others are contrasts. Use any palette, and a share link keeps your colors, yarn weight and size. Yardage is a rough estimate, so check it against your own swatch.
