Multiple panels: Crochet Chart Maker

Draw each distinct bag recipe once and record copies

This panel worksheet contains a six-by-four front/back recipe, a two-by-four side recipe, a six-by-two base and a four-by-ten strap. Make two front/back pieces, two sides, one base and two straps. The displayed eighty-four single-crochet symbols describe one copy of each distinct recipe. Copy multiplication gives 156 actual crochet outputs across seven pieces; twenty-two drawn foundation chains bring canvas occupancy to 106. The final source line describes assembly and is excluded from those 156 outputs; its 32-unit label does not add 32 crocheted stitches.

Keep the strap continuation in the same recipe

The strap drawing places its first four rows at the lower left and its remaining six beside them. This is a diagram-space continuation, not a separate strap to sew onto the first section. Follow source row labels five through ten on the continuation band. Start each complete physical strap from five chains, work four single crochets per row for all ten rows, then repeat the entire recipe for the second copy.

Compare edge lengths before permanent assembly

Join the base's long sides to the front/back bottoms and its short sides to the side bottoms, then join the vertical panel sides and attach handle ends symmetrically. Stitch counts and row counts measure different fabric directions, so matching numeric counts alone does not prove equal physical seam lengths. Swatch both gauges, pin the real edges evenly and revise the construction if they cannot meet without gathering. The plan does not certify carrying strength.

FAQ and practical controls

Why does one front diagram make two pieces?

The saved source quantity explicitly requires front and back copies.

Are foundation chains extra rows?

No. Work each first row from the stated chain and exclude turning chains from its width.

Can I treat the 106 canvas positions as yarn consumption?

No. Measure actual recipe consumption and multiply by copies, including seams and finishing tails separately.

Exact editor setup and independent source files

Open the Crochet Chart Maker with 47 columns and 37 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.

Four distinct recipes are displayed once:front/back6×4 (make2),sides2×4 (make2),base6×2 (make1),straps4×10 (make2). The strap continuation is placed beside its first four rows; it is not a second separate strap recipe. 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 bag-panel and restore it in its matching generator. Source counts: 48 completed source units, 16 completed source units, 12 completed source units, 80 completed source units, 32 completed source units. Rectangular gusseted bag only. Counts are stitch/row dimensions, not centimeters; use separate stitch and row gauges to estimate physical size. Reinforce handles and test under a light load.

1. Front/back: make 2. Ch 7; sc in second chain and across (6 sc). Ch 1, turn; work 4 rows total. Fasten off. [48 source units]
2. Side gussets: make 2. Ch 3; sc in second chain and across (2 sc). Ch 1, turn; work 4 rows total. Fasten off. [16 source units]
3. Base: make 1. Ch 7; sc in second chain and across (6 sc). Ch 1, turn; work 2 rows total. Fasten off. [12 source units]
4. Straps: make 2. Ch 5; sc in second chain and across (4 sc). Ch 1, turn; work 10 rows total. Fasten off. [80 source units]
5. Join base long edges to front and back bottom edges; join short edges to gusset bottoms. Join each gusset side to front/back sides. Attach both strap ends securely to upper panels, equally spaced. Line the bag if needed to limit stretch. [32 source units]

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.
