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!)

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

Dawn,
Welcome! Smile
I'm not sure that you'd be able to size down quite that small. The key is to resize your image first to the size of the pattern you're trying to make. So if you wanted to make your pattern 15 beads across, you'd adjust your image to 15 pixels across. The problem with that is your original image may not be able to go as small as you need it to be for such a limited size project.
Unfortunately, the freePatternWizard can't be used to make the image smaller for you; since it's not a graphics program, it's only going to guess at what you'd want from a larger image. This size reduction has to be done in a graphics program before you upload your image. If you'd like to try that and you're on a PC I can give you links to two very powerful and free graphics programs that will handle the task.




I just tried to make my first pattern. I keep getting lots of errors. Is there someone that can help me.

CeLiza,

You're so welcome!  Smile

Just remember single crochet stitches are rectangular (wide and short) and c2c are more square, or your finished image may turn out skewed.  This is a big reason we're currently working on developing C2C, since conventional crochet patterns aren't really suited to it.

Portia,

Great.  I just sent you an email so please attach your image ot a reply and I'll take a look and let you know what I find.
