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!

Hi, I uploaded a square photo of my dog as I want to make a square cushion. The pattern is 100 stitches wide and 134 rows, but this is for crochet. Will it crochet as a square it seems to me to be a rectangle? Please can anyone help, I'm a newbie and want to make this for Christmas for the much beloved, thanks
Silvertiger,
I haven't worked 10 stitch blankets before, but I've added on to bound off knitting many times.
The easiest way I've found
is to pick up and knit stitches from the area where you'd like to
add. As for the number of stitches, that would depend on
several things: how large the area is where you'd like to add the
stitches; if you're stitching on the bound-off side, how many
stitches are there; how much you'll have to increase or decrease to
get to the number/measurements you'd like; if you're using a
different yarn for that new area, is it the same weight as the
bound-off knitting, or is it lighter or bulkier?
For instance, if you were picking up 30 stitches in a lighter yarn, instead of 20, you may want to mathematically work it out that you can get the extra 10 stitches in spots where you might not normally pick up stitches in a matching weight of yarn.
Most importantly when you're working a project such as this, be sure to make swatches of all of your fibers. I understand...swatching is about as interesting as watching paint dry; however, it will save you a lot of pain and trouble when you need to change fibers or numbers of stitches, where you'll be able to calculate any changes you need to make.
Hope that helps! If I'm misunderstanding your
question, please let me know.
Is there any way to get an increase from 150 atitches across when creating a pattern? I have several peoplewho have asked me for images that 150 stitches just cant accomodate.
Thanks
Melissa

It looks a little complicated, but definitely worth a
try and it's free!! (always a plus in my book!!! I played around
just a couple of seconds and did the input and got this for the
graph. Is this what you are looking for?
