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!

Probably nothing. This software can only go across 150 stitches. i use pattern wizard and download pictures and crop and save. I just posted to see if all the features are working. Last time I looked at messages it said he wasn't working complettely.

Id like to learn more as well it dies lose me a bit.
I guess the more we do the easier it is, but a tutorial would be great
Kate,
Here's a starting point...
I used the image from your message above. When I ran it as is, I had a lot of background patterns, the colors were not right, and it was not filled in properly.
I'm assuming the background should not have that pattern so I used Photoshop to change it to a simple white.
Then I selected the Red Heart Super Saver palette since the default of Stitchboard Basic palette might not be the best since it's limited in colors.
Next I chose "I will choose my colors" in section 5c and checked the boxes 311 (white), 312 (black), and 341 (gray).
I then ran a pattern but it had a lot of breakups so I darkened it by changing the brightness to -23.
Here's the preliminary pattern it created.
It's not perfect yet but if you have a clean image without shading, you'd probably get a better pattern.
By the way, I told it to use the exact pixel count (section 6) so the program would not introduce any shading or other stray pixels when resizing. Since you're doing a hat, you'd want a much smaller pattern. I strongly suggest resizing the image in your art software and reduce it to the exact stitch count in pixels. So if you want 20 stitches across, the image should be 20 pixels across. I'm actually not a stitcher so I'm not sure exactly what count you'd want but if you give it a 1:1 stitches:pixels size, it would be best. In this case, you'd select the "Use the actual number of pixels..." option in section 6.
You may want to try these settings with a clean image and see how it works for you.
Let us know if you need any more assistance! And thanks for using the program.

Is this how you read crochet the regular crochet graphgan patterns?
You start with your foundation ch. then reverse sc row 1 from left to right then alternate regular sc right to left and reverse sc left to right on the rows???
Thanks!!

Molly,
You're so welcome! 
IMO there's room
for all levels of patterns out there! Some like advanced patterns
to have a challenge, some like simpler patterns. I personally enjoy
a challenge...at least when I have time!
