Arrange colors across motifs
Use a numbered layout and a separate color key. Count each motif recipe, since equal motif counts need not use equal quantities of every color.

Before you start
Have the complete instructions, a short list of unfamiliar actions and the materials for a trial. Separate the trial from the final project.
Try this example
A 4 × 6 checkerboard contains 12 motifs of recipe A and 12 of B. Measure yarn for both recipes before multiplying their separate color requirements.
Check your result
- Try the unfamiliar action before committing the main material. If the instructions leave a necessary choice unresolved, write down the missing information and resolve it first.
- A planning exercise is not a complete tested pattern. Project fit, construction and quantities still need their own instructions.
