When you discovered the fun of Carreaux Crochet you might want to understand how to read a chart.

To explain the different options I have worked out the same design four times. One with only two colors (+ a third one for the border). And three where a third color is integrated in the design, every time in another way.

Just a quick explanation: A and B are the colors that alternate position - if you work only with two colors the effect is similar to double knitting. A third color C stays on the same place - front and back. Check the photos to see the differences between the patches.

Have fun with this crochet challenge!

In my ’crx chart blog’ I will post charts I have made on paper together with the results. They too work ‘this way’.
