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!

Thank you for responding. I am basically looking for a step by step on how to propoerly create the pattern for this image so I can crochet a baby crib blanket around 45"x60" or so. Everything I've tried it comes out with boxes out of place and doesn't look correct. I just checked the properties of this picture and it is a JPG 10.8KB demensions 300x300. I'm guessing that's why it isn't working. I will try to find a GIF or PNG that's smaller but what size should I look for? Also does the size or type of yarn make a difference when it comes to making graghgans or is it all in what your gauge is? I was trying to use black, gold, and white in Lion Brand Hometown USA which is 6ply super bulky.
Karen,
Welcome!
Popcorn stitch is currently in development, along with a number of our other most requested features. When we get a lot of people asking for a feature such as popcorn stitch, we raise it higher in priority. I'm not sure yet when the feature will be available, so please check back!

Welcome! Congrats on learning cross
stitch...it's such a fun thing to do and there are so many options
for projects!
Congrats on learning cross
stitch...it's such a fun thing to do and there are so many options
for projects!If by saying "ring," you mean
hoop, you can try to find one large enough to fit your entire
project, but that will only work if you have an extra large piece
of fabric, or only part of your project will be in the hoop. You
can also use a smaller hoop that fits your fabric, but then you
must keep readjusting if it only shows part of your
project.
If you're using Aida cloth, a lot
of that is very stiff and often needs no hoop at all.
There's also another option if you really feel you need
a hoop. There are frames called Q-Snaps. I personally have a few
different sized sets and love them! They're made of PVC pipe and
they have a piece that holds the fabric on pretty securely! There's
no need to reposition the frame, like with a hoop, as they allow
for maximum fabric showing. Simply get the right size for your
project, snap it on, and go. I've used my frames for linen,
especially very coarsely woven linen that absolutely needs a hoop.
With a hoop the project would have taken much longer, but with the
Q-Snaps, it was easy!
When you mention
tacking down the excess cloth around the ring, are you talking
about using a hoop to frame your finished work?
I've mostly used 2 strands for stitching on 14 count.
I've used 3 strands on 14 count, as well, with no problems. I'd say
it's more a matter of preference. Some people like better coverage,
some are satisfied with two strands.
I
mainly prefer two strands because there's a little trick to
starting with no ends, and it requires an even number of strands.
So working with 3 strands looked really nice...LOL, but it drove me
batty, because there were more ends to work in!
Hope that answers your questions!
