Why square cells suit crochet

Knitted stitches are wider than they are tall, which is why knitting charts use oblong cells. Many crochet techniques are much closer to square: a corner-to-corner (C2C) tile is square by construction, and filet crochet mesh blocks out square. A square grid shows those designs in their true proportions.

The bold line every ten does the counting. Losing your place along a row is the usual charting mistake, and with a heavy line every tenth cell you never count further than ten.

Every sheet here is free, adjustable and prints at exact scale.

Questions

Is tapestry crochet square?

Close, but single crochet is usually a little wider than it is tall. If a design must keep its exact shape, work a swatch and use the knitting graph paper, which sets the cell to your gauge.

How big a chart fits on one sheet?

30 by 40 cells. For a larger blanket, split the design into sections and chart each on its own sheet.

Can I colour straight onto the chart?

Yes, with markers or coloured pencils. If the grid competes with the colours, choose a paler line colour before printing.
