New! Caron One Pound, Caron Simply Soft and Herrschners 2-Ply Afghan palettes - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!
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, Isabelle.
I just did three tests. 1. Showing the .pdf on the screen, 2. Downloading the .pdf pattern, and 3. Having it email the .pdf pattern to myself. All three worked fine on my laptop. I also just downloaded and emailed a .pdf chart using my iPhone and they worked too. So the basic functions are working.
BUT, one of the great "joys"
of programming and developing software
for internet use (which I've been doing for some 20 years) is that
there are always companies upgrading device software versions, and
changing what and how they support various functions. So
things that work today might not work tomorrow after an
upgrade. Or if I make a change on our end, all of a
sudden something might not work on 1%, 10%, 50%, or 100% of the
users' browsers on certain devices.
Back on March 24 I moved the entire site over to our secure server because that's how the internet is headed. Security is super-important!
In doing some research, I do see some versions of the standard Android browser have a problem downloading .pdfs from a secure website. This is not a problem on our end but just something that Google didn't work through in their browser. I did also see that people who then used a different browser on the same device were able to download just fine. I'm guessing there are other browser versions on some other devices that may also have an issue.
What's the solution?
1. You can have it email the pattern to yourself (set in the freePatternWizard section 7).
2. Change your browser.
3. Upgrade your browser.
4. Help me offer work-arounds.
Number 4 above would probably be the better solution in many cases. All this would take is to have one or more users who have a problem downloading a .pdf chart give me some information so I can thoroughly research the cause. I had to do a similar thing when Microsoft caused a problem with one version of one of their browsers.
So if anyone reading this would be interested in helping, I can probably come up with a fix in a short period of time. Just let me know.

Hi,
Thanks so much for your help!
I'll try those options 
Guamlite,
Welcome! 
It's more
complex than that. If you want your blanket to measure to a certain
size, you'll first have to do a gauge swatch with the yarn and size
hook you've chosen. This gauge swatch (no worries...just about
everyone hates making them) will tell you how many stitches and
rows you get to an inch. Then you can use that information to
calculate out the number of stitches you'll need to make the
blanket the size you want. Since everyone's gauge is different and
there are different sizes of yarn and hooks you may choose, these
numbers will be unique to you. This is why I can't do a gauge swatch
and give you solid numbers, because I may crochet tighter or looser
than you do, so my numbers would be completely different from your
numbers, even if I used exactly the same yarn and hook.
This is why I can't do a gauge swatch

number of stitches. Say you've discovered you need 100 stitches to
produce a certain size. You'd enter "100" and then the system will
calculate out the number of rows. At this time you can't designate
the number of rows. That's because when we originally developed the
freePatternWizard, we were worried people would skew or truncate
their patterns by designating a number of rows that was too large
or small. So for now, the only way to add or subtract rows is to
add borders to your original image so you get the result you
want.
