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 mainly write fiction-fantasy and sci-fi, but leaning more toward fantasy. The books I have published are vampire themed though...lol. LOVE it that I have met another geek so soon!!! Once I get past the background and into the picture part of them I will post them in the WIP. I am so glad to be here and thank you for the warm welcome!!
Ava,
Excellent!

Chrisbst,
Welcome!
It's a bit
difficult when you need certain specific sizes, plus, we don't
currently offer HDC patterns, only SC.
One
solution might be to try C2C. It actually isn't difficult at all,
and it goes soooo fast! There are many tutorials on YouTube that
teach C2C. If you can HDC and DC you can definitely work C2C...the
most difficult part I found as a newbie to C2C was trying to get
the second block started correctly. But with a tutorial on YouTube
or somewhere (so long ago, I can't remember!), it went like a
breeze.
Another is to find an image to put
through the freePatternWizard, but please note your finished
pattern will be single crochet, not half double.
A very tedious option is to find if someone has a
pattern like what you want, in half double crochet, though it may
not match the size you want. That's simply a matter of searching,
unfortunately, which may or may not give results.
I'm so sorry I don't have any better solutions for you!
I've been there...same thing...proprietary image, pattern in a
stitch I really, really didn't want to do, nothing to use to make
the pattern to my specifications. 
One other idea,
which is probably stupidly simple and not really what you're
looking for, is to use Air Force colors, perhaps in stripes or
maybe make a solid rectangle for the center, then pick up stitches
and go around the edges, making larger borders in other colors, so
you keep making it wider and longer until you've reached the
desired size (or thereabouts) in different colors in your chosen
colorway.
Hope that helps. 
Smokinheart and Gloshei,
So sorry
for the late reply, Smokinheart, I don't recall seeing your
message!
We're planning on
creating some tutorials in the future, but I'm sorry to say we
don't have any available at this time.
Iris,
Welcome!
If you went
with what we call the "standard" stitch, then that means single
crochet if you live in the US. Single crochets are rectangular
stitches, so if you work a pattern meant for single crochet with a
square stitch, like filet or C2C, your pattern will likely look
odd, as the stitches will be taller than single crochets. Unless
it's something that really doesn't matter, you're best off using
single crochet.
