I use...

to make charts from my pictures.

Here is a place to find the team logos...they also give a history and pictures of past and present team logos. This is where I found the Steeler logo I used for the chart to make my Steeler afghan...

Here is a chart for plastic canvas. It looks like an easy chart to convert to sc squares.

Thanks for you help.....now here is another question i have never done this using a graph.....is each square a "SC"??

Has anyone done this befor??

[misssmaggie]

I did mine all in sc...yes.

[mrsstormmyrain]

Thanks.....that what i thouht....each square would be a SC right??

If it says 160 that how many SC i would start with right??

How would i know what was the roll or the startting chain??

[misssmaggie]

If it says 160 sc...then you would ch 161.

When you are doing a project in sc...your foundation row will be one more ch than the number of sc stitches of row 1.

Row 1 will begin with a sc in the 2nd ch from your hook.

Does this make sense?

[mrsstormmyrain]

One more Question and i will not ask any more......lol.....

Is the Height or width the starting point??

[misssmaggie]

You work it with the width...back and forth...as normal working each row from right to left...AND...you are working from the bottom to the top...when I did mine...I did each row twice.

What I am saying...and I hope I explain this right...when I got into the area with the logo..say it started at row 50 and I had 30 sc per row...
let's say it goes 5 sc in black...10 sc in red...5 sc in blue...10 in black.
See how I did row 50 and 51 the same...
then I will do rows 52 and 53 the same...
say they are 7 sc in black...7 sc in red...7 sc in blue...9 sc in black.

row 53 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
row 52 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
row 51 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
row 50 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Does it make sense to you? I did each row twice like that for two reasons...one...I needed to get more length to my afghan...and two...I liked the look of a more bold design.

Any more questions...just ask...

[mrsstormmyrain]

Thank Maggie......

Wont adding two lines of the same mess up the picture??

[CrochetinClara]

I did like Maggie, repeat the row. It added length to the afghan.

[misssmaggie]

I don't think so...my Steeler afghan is just about finished :clap and it looks fine...I will post a picture either later today or tomorrow.

[mrsstormmyrain]

that could be cool......Hubby don't think i can do it or that it will look good....lol.....

[mrsstormmyrain]

one more question.....

When you are crocheting it how do you count the little sqaures......do you do one row then stop and count again and then keep going........I am having a hard time getting the squares counted.......

Thanks for all the help
