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!)

Hello! I am new and worked out some on my issues on my own but I am stuck Smiley

Is there a way to see what the pattern I created will look like on fabric?
What I mean is like when you buy a premade cross stitch kit, the cover shows a pocture of the completed work, usually in a frame or hoop.   

I am trying to find a way to create that image. I know how to do mock ups, I just need the actual image.

THANKS!!!

Why can't I click the artwork box?

Guamlite,
Welcome! Smile
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. Smile 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.
Once you've made a gauge swatch, you can then input the 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.


Hi!

I'm trying to create a crochet pattern by using the Free Pattern Wizard. The problem is: I have chosen the option "standard" as my stitch type because my plan is to use the very basic single crochet stitch.

The result is that the boxes marking each stitch seem much wider and shorter than the actual result when using single crochet stitch. What is the right option for me?

Thank you so much for your help!

I love your site and would like to ask your members if they have ever come across a pattern for tunisian entrelac crochet.  I have seen the patterns on line and in books; however, I am looking for a crochet pattern tunisian entrelac that looks the same as the knitted tunisian entrelac pattern.  Been searching for years with no luck.  Anybody Help!  Thank You

Please answer me at zippermom@hotmail.com - Thank You Again for your help!
