What Is a Crochet Graph (Graphgan & C2C)?
A crochet graph — often called a graphgan — is a grid where each square represents one stitch of a color. Crocheters use graphs to "draw" pictures, letters, and characters into blankets, pillows, and wall hangings: instead of following written rows, you follow the chart square by square.
The two most popular techniques are the single-crochet graphgan (worked in straight rows, each stitch = one square) and corner-to-corner (C2C), worked diagonally in small blocks from one corner to the other. Both read from the same grid chart, and filet and tapestry crochet use it too.
A crochet pattern maker like MakeBead removes the hardest part — turning a picture into an accurate, color-matched grid. Upload an image, choose your yarn colors and blanket width, and export a chart with a stitch-by-stitch legend so your design translates cleanly into yarn.
Working a specific technique? The dedicated filet crochet pattern maker builds a true blocks-and-spaces mesh chart with the foundation-chain math, the tapestry crochet pattern maker writes round-by-round instructions for mochila bags with carry-aware yarn estimates, and the mosaic crochet pattern maker derives a real overlay X chart with one-color-per-row instructions — all things this color graph tool doesn't do.

Preguntas Frecuentes
How do I turn a photo into a crochet pattern? ▾
Upload any photo, character, or logo. MakeBead scales it to a stitch grid, matches every square to a Red Heart Super Saver yarn color, and outputs a color chart with a stitch count and legend. Export the PDF and crochet it square by square as a graphgan or C2C blanket.
What is a graphgan? ▾
A graphgan is a crocheted blanket (afghan) made from a grid chart, where each square is one stitch of a color. It lets you crochet pictures, letters, and characters into a blanket. MakeBead generates the graphgan chart from any image you upload.
Can I make a C2C (corner-to-corner) pattern? ▾
Yes. The same grid chart works for C2C — you work the squares diagonally from one corner instead of in straight rows, one C2C block per square. Read the chart square by square in the C2C sequence, using the color legend to know which yarn to use.
What yarn colors does it use? ▾
MakeBead matches your image to Red Heart Super Saver worsted-weight colors — the most widely available yarn for graphgans — so the chart uses skeins you can actually buy. Colors are approximate; check a physical shade card for exact matches.
How many stitches wide should my blanket be? ▾
A lovey is roughly 60–80 stitches, a throw 100–130, and a full blanket 150+. Set the width to your target and the grid scales to the size, showing the finished stitch count.
How do I know how much yarn to buy? ▾
The color legend shows the exact stitch count for each color, and the materials estimate converts that into approximate skeins so you can shop before you start.
Does this work for filet or tapestry crochet? ▾
Both have dedicated tools that do more than this color graph: the Filet Crochet Pattern Maker builds a blocks-and-spaces mesh chart with the foundation chain count, and the Tapestry Crochet Pattern Maker writes in-the-round instructions with carry-aware yarn estimates for mochila bags. Both are linked above and in the footer.
Can I use my own yarn colors? ▾
Set the maximum number of colors to match the skeins you own, and MakeBead limits the chart to that many yarn colors.
How do I read a crochet graph? ▾
Each square on the grid is one stitch. For a single-crochet graphgan, read row by row (alternating direction each row). For C2C, work the squares on the diagonal. The exported PDF includes a color legend so you always know which yarn each square is.
Is the crochet pattern maker free? ▾
Yes, completely free. No sign-up needed — create and export unlimited crochet charts.
