Comes with 3 horseshow crab patterns. One of them is a top view with a sandy edge background, the other two are a side view and very similar. One of the side view patterns is more detailed than the other (the other is more vectorized). You can see all 3 patterns that come in this bundle in the pictures provided in the listing.

All patterns use single stitch crochet using the tapestry crochet technique (carrying yarn)

For the Side View Horseshoe Crab Patterns:
You will need 4 skeins of white yarn (or whatever background color you choose) (A), 3 skeins of your darkest color (B), 3 skeins of your medium color (C), and 2 skeins of your lightest color (D). You can use whatever color palette you’d like. Skein estimates are based on a medium weight yarn with skein lengths of about 350 yards.

I recommend carrying all 4 colors through the entire pattern to keep it even.

I recommend a medium weight (worsted weight) yarn with a J sized hook. The tapestry should come out a little over 4 feet wide (when crocheted with a J hook and medium weight yarn) This pattern can be repeated and sewn together or combined with other patterns (most of my other patterns are also 150 stitches wide) to create a blanket. A border can also increase the size and give the project a more finished look.
It is all single stitch crochet. In order to make this blanket you will need to know how to carry yarn (there are great Youtube videos that can teach you how to do the Tapestry Crochet Technique. I highly recommend trying a small simple pattern to practice carrying yarn before attempting a larger project. Carrying yarn gets more difficult as you add more colors.

For the Top View Horseshoe crab Pattern:
You will need 8-9 skeins of White/background color(A), 2 skeins of black /dark brown yarn (B), 4 skeins of brown yarn (C) and 6-7 skeins of sand (D) to complete this project.
I recommend carrying the background color(A), Brown (C) and Sand (D) through the entire pattern to keep it even. I would only carry dark brown/black (B) in the sections where it’s needed. This is assuming a medium weight yarn with skin lengths of 350 yards.

Once you have purchased this pattern a text document that like this (below) will automatically download to you. If you have any trouble receiving it message me and I will have it e-mailed to you in no time. This pattern also comes with a Graph!

1.) A-150
2.) A-30, B-20, A-10, B-50
3….

The #’s are for each row
The letters are for different colors. (A = White (or background color), B = darkest color, C = medium color, D = light color)
(so the above pattern would have the first row be 150 stitches of color A. 2nd row would have 30 stitches of color A followed by 20 stitches of color B followed by 10 stitches of color A and so on….)
