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 I am trying to creat a graph for an afghan that will be 66 x 90. But the pattern wizard only asks for the amount of stitches across. I need 180 across but I need 198 vertically according to my gauge swatch. When I enter the 180 across it generates its own vertical number that is in the 300's and would be incredibly long.
gauge 3 stitches equal 1 inch horizontal and 2 stitches equal 1 inch vertically.
Maybe there is an easy way for me to interpret the graph that I am not understanding, but could someone help me please?
Thank you!
Welcome!
We're still looking into it...we've been dealing with other issues that have cropped up and there's another issue that's taking our attention right now. Word charts for beading are definitely near the top of our list!
The reason illusion knitting has word charts is because this is purely mathematical. Peyote, as you know, isn't. So it will require some extra attention.
Please bear with us, and sorry for the inconvenience.
Welcome!
When you go to make your pattern, please use "standard stitch," which is the standard single crochet. (We do have double crochet in our plans, but don't have it available at this time.) The word chart you're describing is for Tunisian crochet, as that is the only type with a "return" for each row. With standard single crochet, you go from side to side, flipping your piece so you (in effect) go right to left and left to right on alternate rows, even though you technically work in the same direction for each row (flipping it is what changes the direction). With Tunisian crochet you use a special type of hook and you go from right to left and then without flipping the work, you work off the entire row of loops from left to right.
If you make a word pattern in Tunisian crochet when you only want single crochet (e.g., standard), you'll be very disappointed in the results, because it won't match what you're doing.
