♡ MY COLORWORK INSTRUCTIONS ♡
this project must be done in HDC & 1 graph square = 1 HDC
graph square 1, 1 must start on an odd row
if you were to change the direction of the graph (mirrored) then you must start them on even rows
even numbered rows will be the wrong side if you are right handed
odd numbered rows will be the wrong side if you are left handed
read the graph from right to left on odd rows, and left to right on even rows
if you make the graphic into a plain tapestry, I would suggest a starting chain of 6 more than the graph to leave 3 on each side, plus one turning chain each row; I would suggest starting graph on row 3 and working two blank rows after the graph is completed
capybara graph is 16 rows tall & 24 stitches wide; start on an odd row
requires about 18g tan, 5g white, 2g dark brown & orange, 1g green & black — in medium worsted weight yarn (4) you will need 16g background color if making a standalone tapestry
with 5mm hook & the following gauge: 5 rows of 6 hdc = 2x2”
you should have a finished graphic about 6 inches tall
