Multi-row texture: Crochet Chart Maker

Compare three stitch heights without changing the row width

This original sampler worksheet draws six outputs in each of six worked rows. The first two rows use single crochet, the next two half double crochet and the final two double crochet. Thirty-six counted outputs plus seven foundation chains occupy forty-three cells. Equal symbol counts preserve the receiving width; the drawn grid does not imply that all six physical rows have the same height.

Change the lift while retaining six old bases

Begin from seven chains and work six single crochets from the second chain. Continue the second short-stitch row, then follow the source's specified lift when moving into half double and double crochet. Turning chains remain excluded from the six-output width. Work into every old stitch once at each transition, including the first and last bases. A taller turning chain is not an extra output or a reason to skip a side stitch.

Read stitch codes in the selected terminology

The editor stores canonical US codes even when labels show UK terms. In UK mode these three heights are dc, htr and tr; their coordinates, rotations and receiving counts stay unchanged. The two-row zone sequence is part of this saved source, not an inferred pattern based on which glyph appears darkest. Keep the source instructions beside the worksheet when checking the transitions.

FAQ and useful comparisons

Can uniform grid spacing predict final sampler length?

No. Measure the actual mixed-height fabric.

Why is one side longer?

Check edge counts, transition lifts and tension before using blocking to disguise an error.

May I substitute treble crochet for the top zone?

That changes the source stitch and lift. Regenerate a supported new sampler and update its chart accordingly.

What is a useful practice goal?

Compare how six repeated bases support three heights while maintaining consistent edges through every change.

Exact editor setup and independent source files

Open the Crochet Chart Maker with 19 columns and 23 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.

Two rows each of sc,hdc and dc retain six outputs per row. The canvas uses equal grid spacing; actual stitch-height differences and changing excluded turning chains belong to the source. 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 stitch-sampler and restore it in its matching generator. Source counts: 6 completed source units, 6 completed source units, 6 completed source units, 6 completed source units, 6 completed source units, 6 completed source units. Turning chains never count as stitches. The chart shows stitch positions; work the written turning chains at each edge.

Exact canvas-to-source symbol register

Columns and canvas rows below are one-based screen coordinates, counted from the top left. Each entry names its actual stitch or chain role. Blank positions are layout space. Verify the independent source before crocheting.
