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

Welcome! Smile
First, I'm wondering if you're measuring your pattern according to the width of the pages on which it's printed to get the dimensions? This is actually not the measurement you're looking for.
What you're looking for is your gauge, based on the size hook, the stitch (filet blocks in this case), the fiber you're using and, well, you! Kiss No two people crochet exactly the same, so what you need to do is use the hook you've chosen and the fiber and then crochet at least a 4 inch x 4 inch swatch in filet, using both empty and full blocks. When you know your gauge, e.g., how many blocks per inch, you'll then know how many blocks in "stitches" and "rows" you'll need for the measurements of your windows. (If you find you're not able to get the result you want - say, your blocks are a bit too large, you can go down one hook size and swatch again.)
This is the measurement you'll need to know how many blocks you'll need for your particular windows. Hope that helps!

That's a beautiful image and will make stunning curtains in filet! Kiss


Gloshei,
With the freePatternWizard you can choose from a number of different stitches. Many of the larger pieces seem to be done in peyote, though loom/square stitch is also used. (Loom and square stitch basically look the same, but are completely different techniques.)
I haven't heard of anyone using the freePatternWizard for bead embroidery. While it probably could be used for that, my guess is there are other ways of using bead embroidery for creating larger pieces. It's a completely different technique, as it allows one to work outside of a grid entirely, so a grid isn't really necessary if you know where the different beaded areas should be on a particular piece. (I'm not terribly proficient at bead embroidery, so I can only say what I've seen and read about it, that bead artists who use this technique will generally plot out where beads should be embroidered on the fabric. There are likely some very talented people who can wing it and just figure it out as they go, but not being one of them, I'm not sure how well that would work for most!)


Hi my name is Iris I just had a picture made into a pattern this is my first time doing this. I had it done in basic so my question is it C2c are is it regular crocheting ?
