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!

Welcome! Glad you were able to work it out!
I started just knitting something small that my partner helped me to get started. I suspect that it will end up being a scarf. It is about 14" wide, and I will figure out how long, after I run out of wool.
Hello,
1-When making a graph, many times it changes the color of an entire object
2-Sometimes it will add in a few random stitches of a different color to an object that is entirely one color. In other words, if there is a pink solid object it will randomly throw in a blue stitch here and there.
3-Sometimes it will add or subtract in an entire line such as a line that is in a border
Please let me know how I can fix these things.
Thank you very much
Filet Crochet has been one of our most requested features and we've had a button showing for a long time. We just added this new feature and as we've been telling people, it's the newest Premier Feature.
What is Filet Crochet? Filet Crochet is a process of crocheting open and closed blocks to produce a basic picture or graphical design in one color.
This feature allows you to upload a drawing or graphic image and create your own filet crochet charts. You can turn on borders is you like, select turning chain count, and, as with other stitches, adjust your image with many optional tools. For those new here, the main freePatternWizard page is here.
Just a quick rundown...
Everyone subscribed to "All Premier Features" will already be able to access this new feature! Otherwise, when you subscribe to the Filet Crochet feature, you can then click on the "filet" button in section 3. When you do, section 5 will change to the following image:
Note the new options:
Borders lets you have the system automatically include top/bottom and/or left/right borders. You can also have it either count or not count the borders in your chart. So if you set it to not count borders and specify 40 blocks across and have left and right borders turned on, it would make a chart 42 blocks across. Telling it to count the borders would result in a chart that's 40 blocks across including the borders.
You can also set your desired turning chain count – either 2 chain or 3 chain. This will also affect the foundation starting chain count (explained in a moment).
Instead of "stitch" counts on the chart, it will now show "block" counts as shown below (note that some of the special formatting you see on the pdf cover page is made with the "Private Label (Custom) pdf Premier feature):
Next, on the cover sheet below the chart thumbnail image is a key showing that the black (filled-in) boxes are double crochet blocks and the others are open blocks. After this is information about the number of stitches that make up the foundation starting chain. A sample is below:
One other change is even row counts are now on the left and odds on the right. (For you left-handed stitchers, read this message about a new feature just added for you! ):
ALSO, we added filet default settings to the right "Settings" tab so you can make it always do borders or whatever when you select filet. These settings will only show if you have subscribed to the filet Premier feature.
We're looking for your input and please let us know what else you'd like! We're on a roll! Oh, yeah, and please subscribe to the filet feature!

Evelyne,
Standard stitch is what
we called single crochet in this case, because users from the UK
call a single crochet a double crochet. We felt standard would be
less confusing than calling it single and double.
C2C is not recommended in this case. A C2C stitch is
square, whereas a regular single crochet stitch is rectangular, so
your pattern would be skewed. At a future time we'll offer C2C, but
it isn't available at the moment and I'm sorry to say we don't have
a specific date for when it will be available.
