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!

Thank you for that reply but that is not really what I meant........... What I meant was how do you control the actual pattern to be a specific size? For example I have a picture of my sons dog and I made a pattern for filet crochet but when I am crocheting it with size 10 thread ( which I thought was basic or say standard, for filet crochet ) it is turning out much larger than I really wanted. So the problem lies with the pattern I made not with my chosen thread or yarn or hook...... How do I control what size finished product my "pattern" will make? I'm assuming making the pattern with less graph squares but I don't really understand your program for that........is that where it says I can put in how many blocks I want and you have it defaulted to 80??? So how do I figure out how many blocks I want on my pattern? I'm sure for someone who is good at math it's probably an easy answer lol but I honestly have no idea and appreciate your help. I'm using a 2mm hook and size 10 thread if that helps........ Or do I have to shrink my picture of the dog? Or is the math backwards and you figure the amount of blocks for the pattern by your crochet gauge?? I'm confused lol Please help!! I appreciate it!! Thanks
Hi, I'm new and am working on my first project. It's a sampler mandala. Wish me luck!
Hi everyone.
I just made an update that addresses newer browser versions that monitor "secure" and "non-secure" connections. A few members have asked why their browser shows "Not Secure" in the address bar. With this update that message should now be gone.
Since most pages at our site include a "Log In" function, we now use our secure server everywhere, including at the freePatternWizard.
The only one-time side effect is that you may need to retrain your browser when you next go to log in. If your browser normally saves your username and password, you may need to re-enter it and let it re-save it once again. After doing this it shouldn't ask again.
Sorry for any inconvenience but this is a needed enhancement to keep the site up to date with present and future browser requirements.

Mamaof11,
Welcome! 
Goodness, it
sounds like you're going to be mighty busy. 
If you've never
crocheted a graphghan before, perhaps you'd like to start with
something a bit smaller? This is what I do when trying something
new, I start smaller, then work my way up. Of course, if you're the type of
person who gets bored easily with smaller projects, by all means,
jump in!

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.
