About this pattern

A desert at dusk: two saguaro cacti standing in silhouette against a low sun, with a flat topped mesa and two ridges of dune behind them. Four colors, worked flat in single crochet with no shaping and no isolated stitches. Finishes around 32 by 34 cm (12.5 by 13.5 in), a panel for a wall, a cushion front or a blanket square.

Any yarn works as long as every color is the same weight. The names describe the shade, they are not a specific brand.

How to read it

Work flat in single crochet, from the bottom of the chart up. Chain 53 and work row 1 into the chain, starting in the second chain from the hook.

Row 1 is a right side (RS) row, worked from right to left. Turn, and row 2 is a wrong side (WS) row, worked from left to right. Keep alternating to the top.

Each entry is a run of one color: "12 X" means 12 single crochet in the color marked X. Carry the colors you are not using along the top of the row and crochet over them, and switch to the new color on the last yarn over of the stitch before it, so every stitch comes out clean.
