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 do understand that but I am trying to see if I can send someone the PDF documents and see if they could help me send with putting it into one of the formats and sending it so that I may get graphghan for the pictures. Is there anyone that might be able to help me with this situation.
Thank you for your quick response on this matter.
Sincerely,

Inorrid,
Welcome!
The graphs the freePatternWizard creates aren't meant for C2C afghans, so we can't guarantee the results. C2C is in the plans, but no idea when.
Since you're using C2C instead of single crochet (a.k.a. double crochet if you're in the UK), you may notice your pattern is skewed, as single crochet stitches aren't actually square. They're more rectangular, so the patterns created are keyed to be rectangular. C2C is more square than rectangular, so it's possible your pattern will distort for that reason.
I've worked C2C patterns before, and the time to decrease is when you reach the 150 square mark; you'll have to check your pattern for which side that is. Once you do, then you'll continue increasing the other edge until it reaches 235 squares, then that will be decreased until you ultimately end up at the opposite corner from where you started, with one square left.
Melanie,
I will always be the alpha female I am the one who makes decisions, and I am the one that train the dogs, I feed the dogs and so on..
But there is also the "dog leader" :p And that will be Jamie...
Hi, I'm Trish from Maryland! I have a question about graphing crochet: I'm assuming that the patterns for regular crochet are based on the single crochet stitch as the unit. Is that correct? Please advise.
Thank you!
Astrid,
You are absolutely right that it is the technique that causes it to be so uneven.
Happy crocheting.
