Although I love to do cross stitch I also like crocheting. I am going to use this software to make charts for picture afghans. I think this software is going to work wonderfully for that. In making an afghan, three or four stitches equal one inch in size. Here's my question. I have been working on a Native American design that originally started to be an afghan and it is fairly detailed and I want it to be close to the original picture. Then a dear friend of mine asked if I could make it into a wall hanging for him. I'm almost finished with the afghan chart and, holy cow, it was a lot of work, from yesterday afternoon until the wee hours and I'm still not done. With all that said, how can I reduce the size of this chart once it's finished without starting completely over? The chart is about 24 x 25 inches which equates to about 68 x 72 inches in an afghan. I would need to reduce the pattern by about 2.5 times to get it to be less than 30 inches square for the wall hanging. Is there a way to do this or do I have to start from square one? For those of you who crochet, I know I could use smaller yarn and needles but I don't think I could reduce it enough by doing that and I'm afraid it would become too delicate. Thanks for any suggestions you can provide.
