10 /Quick answer
To turn a photo into a crochet pattern, upload it, choose how many blocks wide the blanket should be, keep it to about 8 colors and follow the written rows. For C2C each square is one tile, and the instructions run diagonally — like “Row 12: 3 blue, 5 white, 4 blue”.
Pets and simple scenes with big color areas work best.
40–60 blocks for a lap blanket, 80–100 for a throw, depending on your tile size.
Every color change means a new bobbin — fewer colors, less juggling.
Tick off each diagonal row as you work it; the direction flips every row.

Most crochet grid makers stop at the chart. This one also writes every row as text — direction, color and count — and keeps a tick list so you never lose your place.

Finished size = blocks × the size of one block in your swatch. Crochet a small swatch first and measure one tile.
| Blocks | 1 in tiles | 1.25 in tiles |
|---|---|---|
| 40 × 50 | 40 × 50 in | 50 × 62.5 in |
| 60 × 75 | 60 × 75 in | 75 × 94 in |

Upload the photo, set the width in blocks, limit colors to about 8 and use the diagonal row-by-row instructions under the chart.
Multiply the block count by the size of one tile from your swatch: 60 blocks of 1 inch make a 60-inch-wide blanket.
Yes. Use the straight-row view and keep 2–4 colors per row so the carried strands stay manageable.
