don't know how it's called-graphic?

[kotek]

Hi,
I am sure the info is here somewhere but I can't find it because I don't know how to call it:think .
I would like to understand how can I design patterns drawing them from square graphs? I don't know if anybody knows what I mean.... I would like to know how it works when you are changing color on a crochet thing to 'draw' a drawing. I have seen a graph or two and would like to do my own, what I don't know is also which stich to use?
I feel very unclear, sorry:P

Yup it's usually called a graph.
You can do it several ways. Single crochet or tunisian then cross stitch over it. Single or tunisian changing colors as you go, pretty much the way you change colors any other time; just follow the chart/graph.

Here's how to change colors:
