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!  Laughing

Trying to create a cross stitch pattern with just symbols and lines could someone point me in the right direction to start one please and thank you.

I am  a avid cross stitcher and glad to be a new member..

Sarah,
Welcome! Smile
What happened was that whoever made your pattern used the Stitchboard Full Palette. We don't recommend using this particular palette for crochet. This is why we made the Stitchboard Basic Palette. The Stitchboard Full Palette consists of too many colors that will often be impossible to find in yarns, and more specifically, in the same brand/thickness/type of fiber, which would be important for a blanket to be consistent throughout.
If it's at all possible, would you be able to re-run (or have the same person) re-run the image through the freePatternWizard, instead choosing the Stitchboard Basic Palette? (Or at least one of the yarn choices we have available.)
It won't look as nice as the pattern using the Full Palette, but it will also be much easier to get those colors in yarn. Smile


Goedenavond,
Ik dank u voor uw moeite en de vertaling was goed en duidelijk Smiley
Ik kom hier niet verder mee. Helaas.

Ik ga werken op count 10, 100 kruisjes breed en 168 kruisjes hoog en 12 kleuren.
Ik had gehoopt dat het omzetten van foto naar patroon het aantal tekens zou tellen. Nu moet ik alle hartjes , x, boogjes gaan tellen om dan om te rekeken.

Ben bang dat dat niet gaat werken en ik dus maar van iedere bv 3 strengen ga kopen en maar zien hoe ver ik lom.

Ik weet niet hoe ik het u duidelijker moet uitleggen. Ik heb wel eens een patroon besteld bij een bedrijf en kreeg dan het patroon met daarbij bv groen, 3 strengen, wit 1 streng en rood 6 strengen. Daar zo een patroon behoorlijk prijzig is, wilde ik het op deze manier proberen, maar loop dus tegen dit gebrek aan

Nogmaals dank voor uw moeite en uw antwoord.
Fijne avond

Groet,Henny Aly

Thanks for your reply I will certainly bear that in mind.
So is this where the Wizard comes in for making a graph still slowly understanding it.
Or!! I could do it as beaded cross stitch couldn't I ?
