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 Terry,
Not sure how that happened sorry. I didn't post a msg at all. Lol.
Ok I'm about to try your suggestions. I am already using the antialias each time and have upped the brightness and contrast to 5 but will try 10 now.
Thanks
Lou
Thank you for that reply but that is not really what I meant........... What I meant was how do you control the actual pattern to be a specific size? For example I have a picture of my sons dog and I made a pattern for filet crochet but when I am crocheting it with size 10 thread ( which I thought was basic or say standard, for filet crochet ) it is turning out much larger than I really wanted. So the problem lies with the pattern I made not with my chosen thread or yarn or hook...... How do I control what size finished product my "pattern" will make? I'm assuming making the pattern with less graph squares but I don't really understand your program for that........is that where it says I can put in how many blocks I want and you have it defaulted to 80??? So how do I figure out how many blocks I want on my pattern? I'm sure for someone who is good at math it's probably an easy answer lol but I honestly have no idea and appreciate your help. I'm using a 2mm hook and size 10 thread if that helps........ Or do I have to shrink my picture of the dog? Or is the math backwards and you figure the amount of blocks for the pattern by your crochet gauge?? I'm confused lol Please help!! I appreciate it!! Thanks
Hi.. I'm new here and am trying to figure out how much yarn I need for a pattern I generated last night. BTW: Thank you for this service, this is wonderful!!
I have my stitch count from the pattern, and followed Melanie's link. However this makes no sense. The author of the calculator is saying a sc takes 1.8 inches.. that seems huge to me. I did a swatch of 10x10 in US dc, and my guage is 3 inches across and 6.5 inches tall.
According to the calculator.. taking that 1 stitch is .3 inches, I'd only need 57 yards of white for 6,922 stitches...
I'm confused!! lol
Debbie,
