Round study: Crochet Chart Maker

Draw three counted circuits without inventing a foundation glyph

This round worksheet places six, twelve and eighteen single-crochet outputs on three concentric bands. Its thirty-six occupied cells correspond to the complete three-round disk's thirty-six outputs. The empty center refers to a magic ring described in the source instructions; the free editor has no dedicated magic-ring symbol. It must not be interpreted as a large chain-space hole or an instruction to begin with an arbitrary chain loop.

Keep the six-sector source budget outside the canvas guesswork

Work six single crochets in the ring, then two in each old stitch for twelve. The third circuit repeats one ordinary stitch and an increase six times, consuming twelve bases and producing eighteen outputs. The editable glyph positions show the resulting tops, while the separately generated construction map shows which old bases receive them. Six increases cannot be inferred reliably from which glyphs happen to be closest on a snapped grid.

Use rotation only as a drawing aid

The editor rotates in forty-five-degree steps. A six-position circle advances sixty degrees per output and an eighteen-position circle advances twenty, so the worksheet approximates glyph orientation. That limitation does not alter the source's stitch counts or turn a single crochet into a taller stitch. Keep the exact circular source beside the worksheet when reviewing connection geometry.

FAQ and continuation

Should the circuits be joined?

This source is a continuous spiral with a moved first-stitch marker. Do not add routine joins because the drawing has separate rings.

Is this a finished-size template?

No. Wash and measure a real trial disk before assigning dimensions or table use.

Can I add another drawn ring?

Only after designing its new receiving budget and saving the corresponding source instructions. More canvas space alone does not define an increase rule.

Exact editor setup and independent source files

Open the Crochet Chart Maker with 43 columns and 43 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 blank center refers to the source magic ring. Three circles contain six, twelve and eighteen actual outputs. The free editor has no magic-ring glyph and does not infer the six-sector insertion sources from proximity. 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 coaster-set and restore it in its matching generator. Source counts: 6 counted outputs per copy, 12 counted outputs per copy, 18 counted outputs per copy, 1 separate finished piece. Sl st in the next stitch to soften the spiral finish; this finishing slip stitch is excluded from sc counts. Fasten off, weave both tails securely and block the unfilled disk flat without stretching. No filling or sewn cap. Six increases per growth round; assess relaxed physical flatness with a real sample. Keep these pieces separate; no seam joins the set. Finish every recipe as written. Wash and block a trial piece, compare the actual base of the intended cup, and repeat to the stated quantities. A larger table mat is not certified for hot cookware. Component counts describe one copy. Make the stated quantities separately; sewing, placement and finishing references are not additional crochet outputs. These are source-connected construction diagrams. Measure actual yarn, hook, stitch and row gauge before relying on finished dimensions. The set workload is 36 counted outputs across all copies; chain-space and joining conventions remain those of each source recipe. Decorative coasters and table mats are not heatproof trivets.

1. Plain spiral disk (make 1), round 1: Magic ring: ch 1 (not counted), 6 sc. Tighten ring and mark first stitch. Continue in a spiral without joining or turning. [6 counted outputs per copy]
2. Plain spiral disk (make 1), round 2: Repeat [0 sc, 2 sc in next stitch] 6 times. Each increase makes two stitches in one old base. [12 counted outputs per copy]
3. Plain spiral disk (make 1), round 3: Repeat [1 sc, 2 sc in next stitch] 6 times. Each increase makes two stitches in one old base. Sl st in the next stitch to soften the spiral finish; this finishing slip stitch is excluded from sc counts. Fasten off, weave both tails securely and block the unfilled disk flat without stretching. [18 counted outputs per copy]
4. Keep these pieces separate; no seam joins the set. Finish every recipe as written. Wash and block a trial piece, compare the actual base of the intended cup, and repeat to the stated quantities. A larger table mat is not certified for hot cookware. [1 separate finished pieces]

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.
