The twenty-six-column, thirty-seven-row study fills a twenty-four-by-eighteen logical interior with twelve original six-square diamond tiles. Four tiles fit across and three down. Two fixed edge columns and the initial A preparation row remain outside the logical tiling. Its purpose is preserving complete repeat boundaries while keeping physical working-row counts distinct from the dimensions of the logical drawing.
Count one small tile, then the complete panel
Each six-by-six tile has marked row widths of two, four, six, six, four and two, totaling twenty-four. Twelve tiles therefore require 288 drops. The full working rectangle contains 962 positions: 494 in A working rows and 468 in B working rows. Its 288 long double crochets replace ordinary stitches, leaving 674 single crochets. The final surface shows 782 A-colored cells and 180 B-colored cells.
Extend by complete construction units
One additional horizontal tile needs six more interior columns, while the two fixed edge columns remain outside the repeat. One additional vertical tile needs six logical rows, which are twelve physical B/A working rows. Keep the initial A row only once at the start of the full panel. Adding another preparation row at each tile boundary would shift the working color phase and no longer match the saved execution.
Estimate actual materials from a representative trial
A visible A area of 782 cells does not mean 782 A stitches were made. A working rows contain 494 positions, some of them taller drops, and every row also has tails. Make a complete repeat in the actual yarns, finish it and measure consumption and dimensions before calculating a full blanket. Include any seam, fringe or independently planned border separately. The small graph does not specify a bed size or guarantee a particular number of balls.
FAQ and repair strategies
Why does a repeat shift halfway down?
Check for an extra preparation row or an incomplete B/A pair at a vertical boundary. A full logical tile adds twelve working rows.
Should each tile be made separately?
The supplied panel works continuously across all four tiles in each row. No tile seams or extra standing stitches are inserted inside a row.
How do I find a wrong tile count?
Check the six logical row widths and the four-by-three layout independently. Repair the first extra or missing mark rather than stretching a partial edge tile to fit.
Exact settings and complete working sequence
Choose blanket-repeat, 26 chart columns and 37 physical working rows in the Mosaic Crochet Pattern Generator. Yarn A is #1B5462 and yarn B is #E7DAC0. Use smooth compatible yarns and a suitable sample hook. The logical interior is 24 columns by 18 rows. The saved operation count is 288 overlay dc and 674 ordinary sc, with all row-end tails separate from those counts.
Download the exact original mosaic project JSON. Restore it before comparing another palette or size. In US terms, ordinary interior stitches are BLO sc and the covering stitch is dc into an unused same-color front loop two rows below. In UK terms these are BLO dc and tr. Every drop replaces the ordinary stitch behind it. Begin with the stated chain foundation, attach each later row at the right, keep the front facing and cut at the left without turning. Secure the final tails after completing the last row; any border is separate. Read the chart-reading guide to distinguish working symbols from the final visible-color panel.
