BLANKET FOR MY BED, HALF MADE





I'm trying to make a word only crochet pattern from this image.  The original image I use for input is 4000x4135 with 144 ppi resolution.  I had to resize it to insert it here.

I have converted this image numerous times now and the program is putting a few stitches of blue and/or green where there should be white.  I finally tweeked all the variables and increased the original image size and got these errant colors down to a minimum but cannot rid the pattern of them completely.  With everything I tried I either get much more of these color stitches where there shouldn't be or only 3 of the 4 colors (without the unwanted color stitches) I select from the palette to use.

I'm including 2 screen prints (partial pages) for you to look at from the pattern results I get. 

The first page:

 


Part of the beginning of the pattern:


 


These errant stitches begin to occur in row 1.  The colors green & bright turquoise medium are not supposed to be there.  Those stitches should be white and are white in the image.  Green is only used as the background surrounding the tiger and bright turquoise medium is only supposed to be used for the eyes.

This is not the only pattern I've had this occur with.  It actually happens in most conversions I do.  Most times I can tweek it down but as I said I can never completely rid the pattern of them.

Can you provide me with some guidance as to how to completely rid a pattern of this happening?

Thanks!

Strange ... the link to the cookies didn't work for me ... looks like account has possibly been taken down?
