Creating your knitting chart with the Stitchfiddle software

Creating your knitting chart with the Stitchfiddle software

Creating your chart can be tedious with a pen and paper or even knitting graph paper that has the right propertion of the grid. I found the Stitchfiddle website’s free charting software makes everything so easy.

I only tried the color work knitting chart creation. They let you pick the number of the rows and stitches to start a new chart, and pick any color to “color” the chart according to your sketch or what is on your mind. If you make a mistake, you can easily redo it or fix it with a different color. There is also tools for drawing lines, charting symbols and translate into written pattern. Some features requires a fee, but the free one is still powerful for most hobby knitters.

The chart you created can be downloaded as a png file. The png file is a transparent background. It is easy to convert it into jpg or other format.

This is a quick review and tutorial of the online knitting chart making software: Stitchfiddle. I like it a lot because it is very easy to use, free if you don't need extra features, and you can download the charts. The Stitchfiddle online software makes charts for knitting, crochet, cross-stitch and other crafts.
