How to Follow the Graph
When using the graph, you will work back and forth in rows. Each square on the graph represents one stitch in your chosen technique. Below are instructions for both Single Crochet (SC) and Tunisian Simple Stitch (TSS), with guidance for both right- and left-handed crocheters.
Single Crochet (SC) Instructions
For Single Crochet, you will be working back and forth in rows.
➡️ Right-handed crocheters:
Odd-numbered rows are worked from right to left
Even-numbered rows are worked from left to right
⬅️ Left-handed crocheters:
Odd-numbered rows are worked from left to right
Even-numbered rows are worked from right to left
Each square on the graph represents one single crochet stitch. Simply follow the graph row by row, and your design will take shape as you go.
Tunisian Simple Stitch (TSS) Instructions
For Tunisian Simple Stitch, you will be working in forward and return passes, always moving in the same direction on the forward pass.
➡️ Right-handed crocheters:
Forward pass: Work right to left, picking up loops.
Return pass: Work left to right, closing the stitches.
⬅️ Left-handed crocheters:
Forward pass: Work left to right, picking up loops.
Return pass: Work right to left, closing the stitches.
Each square on the graph represents one Tunisian stitch. Keep an even tension, and your design will come to life as you progress through the rows.
