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!

Dean,
Welcome!
If you're creating a graph from an image using the freePatternWizard, you can opt to make your pattern as a written pattern, rather than a graph only.
If you're talking about an already-made graph, I'm sorry to say the freePatternWizard can only work from images, not from already-created graphs.
Will do on the adding the pic and thank you for the compliment. It has not been breezy easy but I think the biggest challenge is simply to develope a technique. I've never done something quite like this before so it has been a learn as I go project.
Is there an option for a circular grid when making a pattern?
Hi, cwcoup.
I recently added some paper sizes specifically made for fitting and printing more stitches per page.
In your case, you can reduce your page count to about 12 pages (4 across by 3 down) by specifying paper size "Stitchboard 5". This paper size will allow up to 130 standard crochet stitches across and 240 rows down.
Please note that the size of the stitches on the pages will be smaller so they may be more difficult to read.
If you have a hard time reading them, you can choose a step down from that and select paper size "Stitchboard 4" which will allow 110 standard stitches across and 200 rows down. This should print your chart in 25 pages (5 across by 5 down).
I do have an update coming which will offer another method of reducing stitch size on the paper but for now the "Stitchboard" paper sizes will also do it.
When you go to print these pages, you probably need to tell your pdf reader (or whatever program you use to print) to fit the pages onto a single page. For example, in Adobe Reader, under "Size Options", select "Fit".
Regarding checking the box in color selection, you might need to enlarge the section of the page. You should be able to click or tap inside of the little checkbox in the upper left corner of the color sample. (I just made sure it still works on mobile devices by checking my iPhone, and without enlarging it was able to click in the box and see a checkmark.) If you're having problems with this, by all means let me know what device you're using (iPhone, tablet, desktop, laptop...), what operating system (iOS, Android...), and if possible, what browser. I'll certainly look into it.

Since the last update we've had a few people who expresses interest in allowing you to choose whether or not crochet word charts should display turning chain stitches.
I just added a new "Preferences" tab on the left of the page that allows you to choose one way or the other.
This basically allow you to set it so crochet word charts display turning chain stitches (the word chart row counts total the chart stitch count), or set it so it does not display turning chain stitches (each row will show one stitch short).
We set the default to show turning chain stitches, the way it's been since day one.
To use this option, click on the "Preferences" tab on the left, click on your desired button (show or don't show turning chain stitches), and click on the "Save My Settings" button. It'll then remember this information from then on. You can always go back at any time and change the setting back if you want.
