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!

Amber,
Welcome!
I'm not sure I'm understanding what you're asking, so feel free to correct me if I have this all wrong!
As of now the freePatternWizard's word charts assume you already know how to crochet, so they simply reflect the colors in your pattern. A graphghan pattern would technically be repetitive across the row: sc, sc, sc, sc, sc..., so other than starting chains there's really no difference in the instructions. You wouldn't have an instruction like sc, ch1, sc because a chain in between two sc stitches would throw off the pattern. You'll want to crochet solid scs in each row, consistently, or making a pattern wouldn't really work.
Please let me know if I'm misunderstanding what you're asking.
Thank you for membership! I'm trying to figure out which to order the blocks up against each other or separated by a spacer and I'm great at crochet but new to doing crochet he as graphghan.
Which would you suggest?
Thanks!

Welcome!
In this version
of the software, no, you can only specify the stitches across, not
the number of rows. The reason for that is originally we were
concerned people would skew or truncate their patterns, so we
didn't want them to have an issue and decided to let the Wizard
determine the rows/length of a pattern.
The
optimal thing to do is make your original image 110 pixels across,
so pixels = stitches. The number of rows is a more difficult thing
to determine, because crochet isn't square; the stitches are
rectangular, so the Wizard is looking more at the height the image
is, so rather than attempting to go pixels = rows, it needs to look
more at the aspect ratio of the image.
In a
future version you'll be able to specify, but even then, the
problem would be that it would likely mean designating a number
would give you a skewed image if you're trying to go from a square
image to a crochet pattern.
As it is now,
the best thing is to experiment to get it to the correct length.
You could add or subtract a blank border to get it to the correct
size. I'm not positive you could get it to exactly 110 pixels, but
you could likely get it close.
Jessica,
That error is in the
community software, so if you wouldn't mind giving us info about
what kind of device you're using, image format, etc, that would
really help!
Also, I'll send you an email,
so please be on the lookout for it. If you can reply and send the
image we can do some testing with it and find out what's causing
the problem. If you don't see the email, which I'll send
momentarily, please check your spam folder.
Sorry this is happening! Ugh, computers, what a pain!
Renee,
Welcome!
Thank you for
the excellent suggestion! We'll add Stylecraft Special DK to our
list...it's always great to find a nice fiber and to know it feels
soft to the touch. Do you also like going to your
LYS...just to feel the fibers? LOL, heavenly...well, most of the
time !
