Crochet grid sizing guide
Pick a stitch count that matches the project.
A prettier conversion is not always the better crochet pattern. Start with a realistic grid size, then edit cells and colors before exporting the PDF pattern.
- 40-60 stitches works for small icons, patches, and simple motifs.
- 80-120 stitches works for beginner blankets, bag panels, and readable pixel crochet.
- 120-180 stitches works for portraits, sweater back panels, and detailed graphghans.
- 180+ stitches is advanced and needs a careful palette, row tracking, and patient color changes.
- Use 8 to 16 colors for beginner-friendly graphghans before increasing detail.
