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

I am new.  And I need some help.  I am trying to make a blanket of my son's dog's face.  I am doing in grey scale (black and white)  I have 6 colors.  Using Red Heart Yarn.  Max width?  I am croucheting it.
 1. how do you download and save to my downloads?
 2.  What are the best items to check on creating it to get the best results?
 3. How do you match up the yarn numbers given with the one's at the store?  Will they be the same?
4. Is there any tutorial I can watch to explain it all?
5. Figure the max width this will be approx 50" and 70" long
6.  Am I using a single crouchet stitch?

Thank You
JMT

Sue,

Glad I could help! Smile

The two programs I like to recommend are:
GIMP:
https://www.gimp.org/
and paint.net:
https://www.getpaint.net/

I can't tell you how to use them, though...I'm still using a program from, gasp, 1998! Surprised

Welcome!  Smile

The free upgrade was an extended beta test and is over.  In order to make larger patterns, we now have those options as Premier features.  You can see the Premier features we have and subscribe on this page:
/pages/pattern/subscribe.php

The current options are 300 stitches across, for the introductory price of $2.99 for a year, and 500 stitches across, for the introductory price of $4.99 for a year.  If you're interested in 500, that includes 300, so you don't have to pay for both, just the one.  Smile

whats the upgrade 
 

I would like to be upgraded please and thank youLaughing
