Planning tips
- Swatch 10 × 10 blocks and measure: if your block is not 0.8 in, divide 50 and 60 by your own block size.
- Buy one extra skein of the background color in the same dye lot.
- A border of a few rounds adds 2–4 inches and about 5% more yarn.
- Fewer colors and Remove confetti mean fewer bobbins — see C2C color changes.
