⚠️ Important Note — Please Read Carefully

Yarn consumption varies depending on individual crochet tension, hook size, yarn thickness, and personal working style. Because of this, a single universal yarn estimate cannot be provided.

Each maker should calculate their own yarn requirements using the swatch method described below.

Yarn Estimation — Swatch Method (Recommended)

For the most accurate yarn estimate, crochet a mosaic swatch.

Make a 20 × 20 stitch overlay mosaic swatch using a chart section that includes an active mix of overlay dc stitches in both colors (avoid plain background areas).

Work the swatch exactly as instructed in the pattern, alternating the two colors every row.

Your swatch will contain:

• 400 total stitches (a combination of sc and dc stitches in both colors)

Separate and weigh the yarn used for Color A and Color B individually.

The full design contains:

• 343 × 379 stitches = 129,997 stitches

To estimate total yarn usage:

• 129,997 ÷ 400 ≈ 325

• Multiply the yarn weight used for each color in your swatch by 325

✔ Always round up

✔ Add an extra 10–15% for safety and personal tension differences

Happy stitching!
