Granny square: Crochet Chart Maker

Separate the granny base from its sewn rose

This original worksheet draws a two-round plain granny base and a separate three-shell rose strip. The base contributes twelve then twenty-four double crochets, plus sixteen corner chains across its two rounds. The strip contributes nine single crochets followed by fifteen double crochets and six slip stitches. Its ten foundation chains and one turning chain are also drawn. The result is ninety-three occupied canvas cells and sixty-six main crochet outputs before assembly.

Preserve corner groups instead of filling old posts

The first square circuit places four three-post groups and chain-two corners in a magic ring. The next uses the source's corner groups and designated intervening spaces. It does not simply work once into every old post. The square portion of the worksheet arranges the output groups around four sides; the companion's insertion map and complete steps determine the actual bases.

Roll only the separately finished strip

Make the nine-sc strip from ten chains, turn and repeat slip stitch, five double crochets in the next base and slip stitch across each group of three old sc. Keep the foundation edge below the shell tops, roll the first shell for the center and wind the remaining shells around it. Secure the underside through every rolled layer, then sew the rose to the square's stated four receiving points. Do not roll the granny base itself.

FAQ and assembly checks

Are sewing tacks part of the sixty-six outputs?

No. They are separate finishing work.

Why does the worksheet have ninety-three symbols?

It includes twenty-seven foundation, corner and turning chains in addition to the main outputs.

Can the rose be forced onto any square?

Measure both finished components. If their receiving points do not fit without distortion, adjust the real material trial rather than stretching the base.

Exact editor setup and independent source files

Open the Crochet Chart Maker with 53 columns and 70 canvas rows. Download the exact editable original worksheet and retain its palette, rotations and blank cells. For crocheting use smooth compatible yarn, a matching hook, scissors, markers and a tapestry needle. A physical swatch is required for dimensions, flatness, surface suitability and material consumption. This is original vector construction documentation, not a photographic or physically certified finished sample.

The plain granny base has12 then24dc,plus16corner chains. The separate rose strip has9sc then15dc+6sl,with10foundation chains and one row2 turning chain. Roll and sew the rose only after making both components. Read the stitch-chart guide alongside both files. In US terms sc,hdc,dc,tr mean single,half double,double and treble crochet; UK labels become dc,htr,tr,dtr. Canonical saved symbols and coordinates remain the same. The editor's free-placement row list inventories diagram cells; the complete source sequence below supplies the actual working order. Arbitrary later edits require a new connection review.

Source 1: complete counted construction

Download source 1 for flower-granny-square and restore it in its matching generator. Source counts: 12 completed source units, 24 completed source units, 9 completed source units, 21 completed source units. Roll the first shell tightly and wind the other shells around it;keep the foundation-chain edge at the underside. Use the sewing tail to catch every turn of the rolled foundation edge several times;secure the rose base without crushing shell tops. Center the rolled base over the magic-ring center of the square. Distribute four securing tacks around the underside of the rose and the middle dc of each three-post group in base round1: stitches2,5,8,11. Catch only the rose foundation edge and base stitch loops. If the rolled base cannot span the four attachment points without pulling the square,adjust the materials or make a new measured trial. Do not force the petals flat. Secure and weave ends on the underside;check the square remains relaxed. This is a sewn center,not a flower grown directly from the square corners. Counts include the two slip stitches within each rose shell group. Base corner chains and joining slip stitches are separate. No physical crochet or attachment-strength test is claimed.
