Fruit colors: Crochet Coaster Set Generator

Map six citrus segments onto real stitch outputs

The fruit-color set uses a four-round single-crochet disk with six sector separators and a contrasting outside rind. It does not add unsupported leaves, a stem or a sewn fruit shape. Each copy has sixty outputs and four copies have 240. Yarn one is the main interior, yarn two is the final rind, and yarn three is the narrow separator role in this three-color saved example.

Color the first output of each growing sector

For an interior round numbered n, divide the completed outputs into six consecutive groups of n stitches. Color the first output of each group with the separator role and the remaining n minus one with the interior role. The first round therefore has six separator-colored outputs. Round two alternates separator and interior, while round three places one separator followed by two interior stitches in each sector. The entire fourth round uses the rind role.

Handle an increase that straddles a color boundary

A single old insertion base may produce two new stitches with different yarn colors. The saved intermediate representation assigns a color to every output, including each stitch of an increase, instead of coloring the whole increase group indiscriminately. Change yarn on the final pull-through before the next required output and carry unused strands loosely inside the stitches. Recount the six separators around each interior circuit and inspect both faces for unwanted tightening.

FAQ and palette choices

Is the picture a realistic fruit cross-section?

It is a six-segment colorwork study with an explicit stitch route. Actual appearance depends on the worked fabric.

What happens with only two palette slots?

The separator role falls back to yarn one, so the interior loses its contrasting dividers while the rind still uses yarn two.

Can I replace the six-sector mathematics with eight segments?

This saved construction supports six. An eight-segment design needs a different increase budget.

Why is the fourth round not divided?

Its continuous contrasting band represents the rind and supplies the final twenty-four outputs.

Exact setup, terminology and saved source

Open the Coaster Set Generator and choose fruit. Set working rounds to four, quantity to 4, rectangular recipe width to twelve stitches and its length to twelve rows. Only controls used by the chosen recipe affect its construction. Download the exact original project JSON before changing colors or dimensions. Use compatible smooth yarn, a matching hook, removable markers, scissors and a tapestry needle. Make and wash a trial piece before repeating the full quantity.

The following complete sequence uses US terms: sc is single crochet, dc is double crochet, ch is chain and sl st is slip stitch. UK mode converts sc to dc and US dc to tr while retaining all insertion sources and counts. Starting chains, spaces, petal closures and routine joins follow each recipe's explicit counting convention; do not apply one blanket convention to every component. The chart-reading guide explains how to compare symbols with written instructions. Finish and weave every tail, then retain the measured sample and saved project together. These original vector diagrams show generated construction rather than a photographed or physically validated finished sample.

Complete component recipes and final set check

1. Six-segment citrus-color disk (make 4), round 1: Across this round, color the first output of each 1-stitch sector with project yarn 3, then its 0 remaining outputs with yarn 1. Change on the final pull-through before the next colored output; carry unused strands loosely inside the stitches. 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. Six-segment citrus-color disk (make 4), round 2: Across this round, color the first output of each 2-stitch sector with project yarn 3, then its 1 remaining output with yarn 1. Change on the final pull-through before the next colored output; carry unused strands loosely inside the stitches. 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. Six-segment citrus-color disk (make 4), round 3: Across this round, color the first output of each 3-stitch sector with project yarn 3, then its 2 remaining outputs with yarn 1. Change on the final pull-through before the next colored output; carry unused strands loosely inside the stitches. Repeat [1 sc, 2 sc in next stitch] 6 times. Each increase makes two stitches in one old base. [18 counted outputs per copy]
4. Six-segment citrus-color disk (make 4), round 4: Use project yarn 2 for every output in this rind round. Repeat [2 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. [24 counted outputs per copy]
5. 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. [4 separate finished pieces]
