Not only are we retired military, but we sell our handcrafts to the military. Even if you have the camo yarn, it will not look like any of the camo outfits being currently worn. I would say ‘Yes’ you need the chart.
I have used many of the Camo colors and none of them, not one, ever came out like the real pattern on the uniforms and other military items. But I will also say, it you want it to come out like the chart, then don’t use camo yarn but use the different colors and chart it.
I have used 3 different brands of camo yarn & none of them turned out like that pattern, even with making a baby outfit out of one of the yarns. I will say they do make nice afghans, I have made 3 that sold before they were done & have orders for 2 more, just using a simple ripple pattern.
I have to agree, I like the chart.
I have used many different colors of camo yarn, and none of them look anything like real camo, especially when crocheted-maybe a little closer to the real thing when knitted. Use the chart!
Hi JD,
If you want to use the yarn you have, I would suggest something like a granny square so that the colors will puddle somewhat. Cammo yarn is not meant to reproduce the actual cammo pattern, just the colors. If you want an actual cammo pattern, I agree with the others, go with solid yarns and chart it out.
However, as you described the request, I think the yarn would work fine with a granny square motif.

I agree with the above. Use the chart and appropriate colors to match. Crocheting or knitting with the camo yarn comes out pretty but it is usually in stripes, no the way true military camo is.
i have made several afghans with the varigrated camo yarn and the folks thatbought them(military) where pleased with the way they came out.
it actually can depend on how you hook the peice up. i did swatches with one skein to mess with to seehow the colors work together.
i like the pattern too. i would like to try it.
Michele,
Do you have any pictures of your afghan or swatches? That would be most helpful. Do you recall what hook size and stitch(es) you used?
Thanks,
jd
Thanks for that! It’s just the answer I neeedd.
