Choosing colors and yarn usage per block
You could use the colors I used, but you could also choose your own of course. And you can choose as many colors as you like. The only advice I want to give is to stick to 1 background color (color 1). This makes it all come together.
Here I give you the usage of yarn per block, both for the ‘background’ color (color 1) and the different ‘foreground’ colors (color 2). Click here to download the chart for the usage of the yarn.
If you want to get a kind of feeling how the colors that you want to use work out with each other, I have a chart that you can color in.
Overview crochet symbols
In the tutorials I use a couple of charts with crochet symbols. This helps to clarify the stitches you have to make, and where these stitches have to be made. I also show how to do the stitches in the videos, if it’s not clear. Here is the overview of the used symbols.
