Checkered heart crochet chart
A 32 × 32 color chart places a two-color checkered heart on a white background. The repeated patches make it useful for practicing short color runs.

This original Ovopixel design is a digital color chart, not a photographed or test-crocheted finished item. Each square is one worked stitch, including background squares. Use separate instructions for starting chains, turning and finishing.
Keep the checks readable
The heart uses two alternating colors inside one outline. Choose yarns that remain distinguishable beside each other, then check where each patch meets the sloping edge.
Colors and stitch counts
The full rectangle contains 1024 stitches. These counts describe color placement; they do not predict yarn weight without a measured swatch.
| Symbol and color | Stitches |
|---|---|
| A — White | 676 |
| D — Clay | 178 |
| E — Petal | 170 |
Try one edit at a time
For a solid heart, replace one fill color with the other. This removes the checkered detail while keeping the silhouette; leave the background separate so the heart stays visible.
Open an editable copy, change a palette color and inspect the entire outline. In Make, follow the rows from the bottom; in Print, choose a PDF with a legend and row instructions. The original example stays unchanged.
How large would it be?
For an illustrative gauge of 20 stitches and 24 rows per 10 × 10 cm, this chart would measure approximately 16.0 × 13.3 cm before borders. Width = 32 ÷ 20 × 10 cm; height = 32 ÷ 24 × 10 cm.
This is a worked calculation, not a measured finished size. Use your own washed or blocked swatch: the squares in the preview do not mean that crochet stitches will be physically square.
