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!

Cpiper,
Welcome!
If you've made your chart with the freePatternWizard, once you choose the number of turning chains you want for your pattern, the PDF you download will contain the number of foundation chain stitches.
The foundation calculation is for the foundation chain itself, but that will also be a true amount for the entire pattern. So if your foundation chain is calculated for 50 blocks, then it will be correct for 50 blocks, including your turning chain, so you'll be able to properly work your pattern from the chart.
Jodee,
You're welcome! Hope all goes smoothly!

Zuesad,
Welcome!
Wow, that is an
AWESOME jacket! 
I can see why you like it.
I can see why you like it.Making a pattern for that is complex, since it doesn't
seem like a repeating skull pattern. It might be, but what I can
see in the picture is too small to show repeats.
You could start with a very plain sweater pattern and
chart a bunch of different skull designs based on the number of
stitches in the pattern. This will be complex, but I can't think of
a way to do it while designing a jacket, too.
The other thing you might be able to do is make the
jacket, then cross stitch various skulls on it. Even better, if you
know Tunisian crochet, those stitches are great for cross stitching
over them.
Hope that helps!
Chiefstick,
Welcome!
Embarrassed to
say I'm not sure where the free pattern sites are anymore! 
I used to know of a ton of them.
Now I mostly look at books and magazines for
inspiration.

especially enjoy watching something in flat, round peyote grow from
a tiny circle to something amazing.
