Anyone know a site to make your own crochet charts?

[SweetLilRachy00]

I have a dear friend that just lost her brother due to gay violence. I wanted to make her and her family a nice large memory 'ghan. I wanted to have a rainbow background (he was gay, which is why he was murdered) and put "In loving memory of _________" and then his DOB and DOD

 

How do I make a chart for font/letters? I've never even done charting (if that's even what it's called) before! But for her, I will learn.

Find the alphabet you like and pull it into this program: http://www.microrevolt.org/knitPro/. If you google "free fonts" or "free alphabets," you'll have plenty of letters to select from. Here's one that looked interesting: http://simplythebest.net/fonts/

 

So sorry about your friend's brother.

If you are working in single crochet stitches (sc) only, then you can use ordinary graph paper. SC stitches are nearly square.

 

You have my sympathy, for your loss.

Here is a chart of block letters (uppercase and lowercase) and Numbers............each dot can be a sc on a graph...just plan it out on Graph paper as MindyJedi suggested.

here is another site that may be helpful to you......you type whatever you want in the box and it creates a pattern for you. But it will only do Capital letters.

I'm so sorry to hear about your friend's brother. What an awful thing to have to go through. I know the afghan you design for her and her family will be greatly appreciated. Would you please post a picture of it so we can see it?

I am so sorry for what your friend has had to go through. Please know that the family will be included in my daily prayers. Nobody should have to go through a loved one being murder just because someone else doesn't agree with anothers life style or opinions. I know they will greatly appreciate the afghan you are going to create and give to them and it will be lovely.

I have no words.

 

Your thoughtfulness at this awful time will be remembered for the rest of their lives.

I'm sorry to hear about your friend's brother and I'm sure his family will appreciate your thoughtful gift.

 

If it helps any, I just got done making and adding some rainbow graphs to my Epson album here if you want to take a look:

The rainbow2a and rainbow3a color graphs have the 6 colors of the gay flag: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.

 

If you want to use one of the graphs I made, I can also personalize it for you - just let me know.

 

HTH!
