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!

Ann Benson has a great book on tapestry crochet. I have made many projects with size12 pearl cotton an 11/0 Czech seed beads with beaded crochet, which is very easy. The hardest part is making sure the beginning chain is straight and flat, after that it is simple. There are tutorials on this technique. If you can work a chain and single crochet you will be fine! As for durability, I made a cell phone case which has not come apart after a few years of abuse! I would suggest scanning a simple photo into the pattern wizard and have it charted for beading. The key I came up with had Myuki beads, but you most likely can substitute Czech beads if you can find the colors as they are less expensive and are round as opposed to the Myuki which tend to be more tube shaped although they are the same size. I hope this helps.
Pmeixner,
Welcome!
Thank you for letting us know about the issue you're experiencing. We're aware of it and we do have some changes that have been made to peyote that will fix these issues, though they haven't been made live just yet. We're hoping to bring them live in the next few weeks, when testing of them has been completed.
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!
Thank you Debbie and Melanie,
I really like the look of tunisian knit for this type of work, and color changes are so much easier.
Melanie,
Well the backside looks like this:
I made the brim using back loops only.. And then reverse single crochet the last row to give it a different look.. I don't know what the stitch is called in english, but you go from left to right instead of right to left.. It gives the edge a really pretty look IMO.
I can try translating the pattern for you if you like?
Hugs from Denmark
