Your photo becomes
a C2C crochet graph
The photo is split into tiles and reduced to a few colors, so you can see how the finished C2C will look. A row-by-row written pattern is made at the same time.
- Tile — one C2C square, worked as ch 3 + 3 dc
- Row — one diagonal row of C2C tiles
Frequently asked questions
Answers to common questions from people making their first crochet graph.
Should I choose C2C or tapestry crochet?
C2C (corner to corner) works tiles in diagonal rows, so it grows quickly and suits big pictures like blankets and rugs. Tapestry crochet works single crochet row by row and carries the unused yarn inside, which suits dense, smaller designs on bags, pouches and hats. You can switch techniques at any time to compare.
How do I read the row-by-row pattern?
"Row 5 ↗ 3 A, 2 B" means work row 5 from lower left to upper right, making 3 tiles in color A and then 2 tiles in color B. For C2C, each row also says whether to increase or decrease at its ends. Tap a row on screen to outline it on the chart; the red dot marks the tile where it starts.
How do I keep track of my progress?
Tick the box next to a row, or press "Next row done", to mark everything up to that row as finished. Progress is saved in the file you get with "Save project", so you can open it later and carry on. The written pattern in the PDF has a checkbox for every row as well.
Why do I need to enter my gauge?
Single crochet stitches are not perfectly square, so a square grid worked as is looks squashed or stretched. With your gauge, the chart uses cells shaped like your real stitches and shows the finished size. C2C tiles are close to square.
Does it work for left-handed crocheters?
Directions in the written pattern are for right-handed crocheters. If you are left-handed, flip your photo horizontally before uploading; then you can follow the rows exactly as written and the picture comes out the right way around.
How is the yarn amount calculated?
Enter your swatch size (stitches and rows for tapestry, tiles across and up for C2C) and its weight. The tool works out the weight of one stitch or tile, multiplies by the count for each color and adds 10% extra. Enter a skein weight to see how many skeins to buy.
Is my photo stored on a server?
No. Your photo file is never uploaded or stored on a server. Everything from the pattern to the PDF is made inside your browser. Session recordings we use to improve the site may include a reduced-size copy of what’s on screen (not in Europe); see the privacy policy.
