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!

I just added support for those who want to use .webp image files.
There are a few different sub-formats within this image configuration so currently you may need to make adjustments to section 7 to get better patterns from webp images.
Currently line drawing .webp images will work better than photos but it really depends on how the image background was saved in the program that created your image.
If you can't get a good pattern, try using a photo editor to load the image and save it in a .png or .jpg format and use that new image.
I'll be making a few adjustments in the future to the better support all the various sub-formats but for now we have basic support.

That has to be done on your own computer under settings...
Is this how you read crochet the regular crochet graphgan patterns?
You start with your foundation ch. then reverse sc row 1 from left to right then alternate regular sc right to left and reverse sc left to right on the rows???
Thanks!!

Suzy,
Welcome!
Your turning chain doesn't count as an actual stitch, so no, don't skip the first stitch. While some conventional (non-graph) patterns sometimes call for counting the turning chain, some don't, and in this case it's inadvisable to count it, as your stitching will no longer work with the graph. You also shouldn't work into the turning chain when you get to the end of the row, as this will also throw your work off of the graph. Just keep single crochets to single crochets and you should be good to go!
Debbie,
Thanks for the link and for writing out the first 5 rows! I'm not a chart knitter, either...never learned that years ago, as nobody spoke of charts like that. I didn't know there was such a thing for at least 20 years after I became a knitter!
Silvertiger,
Please do tell where you've found the instructions written out. That's really a gorgeous pattern!
I see what you mean about the instructions as they are...chart, chart, chart. Some say charts are easier to follow, and perhaps that's so, but they make knitting difficult, IMO. (Same with crochet charts.) I keep trying to sit down and learn how to read them, but it's all soon forgotten.
