Mode toggle
In the tapestry crochet pattern maker, switch Back and forth (flat) vs In the round. The toggle changes how rows are written (direction and turn assumptions); it does not by itself turn a flat panel into a seamed tube — construction still depends on how you cast on and join.
Width is stitches; set max yarn colors as usual. Privacy: local images. Entry choice: photo vs blank.
Back and forth (flat)
For flat panels and wall hangings — turn at the end of each row. Written rows follow flat reading (odd/even directions may differ; trust the generated text). Confirm you will actually turn before row 1.
Failure modes: using flat text for a tube (spiral drift); ignoring odd/even direction so the motif mirrors wrong.
In the round
For tubes and hats — keep going the same way. The text will not assume turn-arounds. After switching modes, re-read the whole row list and reprint if needed.
Failure modes: turning every round despite round text; losing the start-of-round stitch so vertical stripes “crawl”. Mark the start with a stitch marker.
Row-by-row text
Row by row looks like “5 A, 3 B, 5 A”; letters match Materials. After recolor, resize, or mode changes, re-export — do not crochet from an old screenshot.
