New! The Herrschner's Worsted Palette - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!
New! We've just added the palette for Deborah Norville Everyday Yarn! If you knit and/or crochet, this is for you. This is a beautiful yarn with a nice feel to it, a good alternative in worsted weight acrylic! (Thank you again to BetwixtTheStitch!)
New! The Red Heart Super Saver Palette - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!
Welcome to Stitchboard! Feel free to sit and stay awhile. Check out our new Premier features. In addition to the ability to create larger patterns (up to 500 stitches wide), illusion knitting and private labeling (no more worries about editing those pesky and messy PDFs), we've just introduced Filet Crochet, our most popular request! We have many more features planned, too!

Hi! My name is Kristy but I go by Stitches so either one will work. I have been cross stitching for about 30 years. I know I am old...lol. My mom taught me. Anyhow. I am a work at home mom and LOVE cross stitching. I know duh right? Other things I do....play video games, read, write (I am a published author). I usually work on more than one project at a time. Right now I am working on 5 Harry Potter themed pieces for my best friend's upcoming FIRST baby shower!
I am partial to geek stuff so my works usually are geek related. I am so glad to have found you all and looking forward to meeting some friends who also cross stitch!!
Welcome!
If you're referring to the finished pattern being 50 x 70, that means 50 stitches by 70 rows.

MStanley,
Welcome!
At this time we
support only certain stitches such as single crochet, Tunisian and
filet crochet. In the future we'll be adding other stitches. In the
meantime, the problem with single crochet to half double crochet
would make it a very different size of stitch. Depending on your
gauge, you could end up with a very distorted piece. It's not the
width of the stitches that's the problem...it's the height. While
your stitch width would likely remain the same (unless you were to
switch to a different yarn or hook than what you've been using),
the height of your stitch will be more elongated, as a half double
crochet is taller than a single crochet. I don't remember offhand,
but I want to say a half double for me is about 1 1/2 times the
height of a single crochet. It's not a lot, but it's just enough to
throw it off.
With more elongated stitches,
your graph for a single crochet will end up with fewer rows per
inch, meaning your entire piece will be elongated. If you're
working with something that isn't critical to remaining true to how
long the stitches are, you'll be okay, but in most cases, I'd say
your finished item will be longer than anticipated and the longer
stitches may look wonky.
I wish there were
more of a direct correlation, but while the width of the different
stitches are usually the same, the height is usually different.
Patricia,
Welcome!
I'm sorry to
say the freePatternWizard can't take a finished pattern and turn it
into a chart. All the program can do is make
patterns in word or graph form from original images. I've done some
searches, but have never found anything that takes word charts and
converts them. All of the matches are for programs that will turn
an original image into a chart or word pattern, or tutorials on how
to create your own word pattern.

sorry you're having problems with those word charts. Perhaps you
could contact the original designer(s) and ask if there are graphs
available instead of word charts?
