Arrow Big Left Dash
By StitchingLab ·
This 50×50 chart finishes at roughly 13×12 inches in worsted-weight tapestry crochet, using 2 colors — a clean two-color project — a good first counted chart. Worked as tapestry crochet it suits a cushion front, tote panel, or one bold graphgan square. The grid, materials estimate, and written row-by-row instructions below are all free; open the chart in the editor to resize it or swap the palette to yarns you already own.
