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!  Laughing

I wanted to convert what I believe to ne a cross stitch pattern of Chewbacca into a knitting chart.  Is that possible in Stitchboard?  If so, how would I go about it?  TYIA
 

Lesa,
Welcome! Smile
The stitch to use, if you're in the US, is a single crochet. if you use any other stitch (such as a double crochet), your graphghan will turn out skewed. The only exception is if you choose certain stitches, such as Tunisian, in which case you'd work Tunisian.
The graph is like any other crochet graph, worked side to side, first on one side, then returning the other way.
I'm not sure what you're referring to about "color with the number." If you're looking at a graph, you will see, perhaps, 3 of the squares have a blue, so then you'd work 3 stitches in blue. If you're following a word pattern, that's different. It tells you how many stitches to work of each color, in order.


I'm Shelley. My name on here... Riley was my beloved kitty, and acu is acupuncture, which is something I do.  I also like to bead, knit, do some wire work, and some really crappy crochet. 
 

I found some more colors that are incorrect. Delica Bead 279 actually looks like the pic of 297. 1004 is burgundy, not blue. 1756 is a violet purple, not a blue purple. I'm doing a pattern of an abstract painting, and these inconsistencies are making my finished project very different than the pattern pic. I'm getting ready to purchase more Delica beads for my next one and I want to get the colors right. This software is only good if it's an accurate representation of the colors. I found Fusion Beads Delica by number photos to be accurate for the color if that helps you check it out. I'd really appreciate help with this so I can order the best beads for the pattern. Thank you

Line,

How adorable! Can't wait to see the finished project.

I always loved making the plush toys. Kiss
