Design too complicated to write out

[Robyn]

I had an idea for a granny square pattern yesterday and started working on it, writing it out as I was going along. WHen I got to the fifth round, I realized my design was too complicated for me to figure out how to write down. I've since finished the square just how I saw it and tried to write it down stitch by stitch like a friend suggested but I'm relizing that it's even more complicated than I thought it was. *sigh*

 

 

Has anyone else ever created a pattern that was too complicated to write down? Please tell me I'm not alone in this.

You're not alone! It just takes a lot of patience and sitting right at the computer while crocheting the design.

 

Just take it a little at a time. Work on it when you feel you can concentrate.

Sometimes I find it helpful to say out loud what I am trying to put down into words.

And some times I break it up it to sections ( one stitch group ) then the next until I have the complete rnd or row. Then I pull it all together. Doing it in bite size pieces does help though. I have done some very complicated pieces that way.

Pattern writting isn't easy. But it does get easier the more you do it.

Best of luck to you on getting it written down.

...make another while looking at, following along, your original... see if you can recreate it to the end....then make another and write it down

Make another and say outloud everything you are doing stitch by stich.....but record your voice. Then listen to the tape and write it down.
