The unfortunate part about that is the program will incorporate that one white block into the written pattern. They do have an option for “Stray Pixel Cleanup” – but I’ve experimented with all three settings and it doesn’t always catch that one white in the middle of a sea of black. Maybe I just haven’t figured out how yet. Don’t get me wrong – it’s a great program, but the limitations of being able to clean up stray color blocks is not good. This can be confusing because when creating a crochet graph, we certainly don’t want to use 20 skeins of yarn now do we? If you want to limit the color palette to only a few colors, you have to set the value very high (385-500), and if you want more colors you must set the value low (0-20). ~ The color sensitivity section is a little confusing. ~ Absolutely no way to change or clean up the image. ~ You can choose Red Heart yarn colors for export Cons ~ Exports written pattern & graph simultaneously. ~ Basically it’s plug and play, you upload your photo and enter a few criteria and walla! This is a useful program for most projects and delivers a full graph, written pattern, and even sections it off into pages, which is extremely helpful. It exports them into Tunisian/C2C/Afghan in color blocks & written, which is so wonderful! This is what I use to create my graph patterns. You can import photos, clip-art, and also draw graphs from scratch. Winstitch by Ursa Software is by far my favorite and one of these days I’ll get around to doing a video tutorial for it.

I also wanted something I could easily turn into a PDF pattern to upload to my sites. I wanted something that was easy, fast, and had pretty graphics. So, in the past year and a half or so, I’ve played around with a lot of graphing programs. If you don’t know the basics of C2C yet, head on over to this post first, then come back and check out these great programs. I love this technique so much I created a calculator to help you figure out how big your project will be! Here is the link for the C2C Blanket Size Calculator. Better yet, you can check out all the graphs (not many ?) I’ve created using these programs here! I also used graphing for my Fair Isle crochet beanie (FREE CAL), and the Keep Shining beanie.
