Cute, right? But what if you don’t want a PINK rose? What if you want a YELLOW one? Here’s a little pink rose, only 21 stitches wide by 20 stitches high. Changing the colors in a chart THAT big requires graph paper, colored pencils, and lots of patience, but changing the colors for something small is EASY. I already showed you MY version of the detail from Teresa Wentzler’s “Castle Sampler” with bright autumn colors instead of the cool pastels of the original. (You aren’t even required to use the same count fabric but that’s a topic for another post.) The colors shown in a chart are just to tell you what to use to make your own piece EXACTLY like that one. What if the only chart you can find isn’t exactly what you want? “I like this design but the colors aren’t quite right.” Or, “I want to make a brown horse and all I have is a chart for a palomino.”
