Hi,
Just a quick update. Please bear with me an extra day. I have unlocked the new version for you but found one issue with .pdfs in Peyote that I'm quickly addressing.
I'll still be emailing a link for you to try it out hopefully tomorrow.

Christie,
Welcome!
You're
certainly welcome to make your own pattern using the
freePatternWizard, and also, there are patterns and images out
there for free all over the place, so if you find something you
like, the work may have already been done for you! Doing a search
for "deer head knitting chart" can give you some results. I'm not
sure what you're looking for specifically and the size, but these
are just a couple of examples of what's available:

Sometimes it's not even necessary to reinvent the wheel.

Delicia,
Welcome!
If you're
talking about 40x40 or 60x60 inches, before you can determine
anything, you need to know about your gauge.
To find your gauge, use the size crochet hook you've
chosen for the project and the size/type of yarn and make a 4x4
inch swatch. If you're going to use single crochet, you'd use
single crochet stitches to make your swatch. If you're going to use
Tunisian, you'd make your gauge swatch in Tunisian.
Let's say you end up with a single crochet swatch of 16
stitches x 20 rows to the 4x4 inch swatch. You'd divide each of
those numbers by 4, giving you the number of stitches and the
number of rows per inch. In this example, you'd have 4 inches x 5
rows per inch.
You'd then multiply those
numbers by the number of inches you'd want in each. In the above
example, 4 x 40 = 160 and 5 x 40 = 200.
For
the freePatternWizard, using a graphics program you'd take your
image and make it 160 pixels across, where the number of pixels =
the number of stitches. Then in option #6 you'd choose, "I wish to enter my desired count - Number of stitches
desired: ___ stitches" and you'd enter the number 160.
(Since maximum if you're a regular member - e.g., not a premier
member - is only 150, you'd have to at least subscribe to the
premier 300 stitches across option, which is currently a nominal
cost of $2.99 for a full year.)
The only
thing you can't determine is the vertical length of the piece; for
that, you could start with 200 pixels down (in this
example...adjust for your own figures, of course) and adjust as
necessary until you get to the length you want. In the future,
there will be an option to enter the vertical size, but since that
isn't an option at this point, the freePatternWizard will do that
calculation for you.
Swatching isn't
something most people like doing (lol, guilty!), but for anything
that requires specific measurements it's very important to do the
swatching, rather than ending up with a too-small or too-large
piece and being sorry later.
