How to Use Pattern Keeper on the Computer - Frizzy Lizzie Stitches 

Thanks for the tip! I’ll have to try that 😊

Hi Elaine! Thanks for stopping by! The pattern for the crochet blanket should be in the description box of every video where I talk about it 😊

Thanks! The Create piece is a cross stitch pattern from Caterpillar Cross Stitch called Made to Create 😊

Caterpillar Cross Stitch does sell their kits with PDF charts. They are not pattern keeper compatible however I have managed to play around with the advanced options to get it to work. Pattern Keeper won't read the individual symbols, but it will load it so that you can still mark off stitches.

I use pattern keeper and also paper patterns. I find there is not a huge amount of difference in keeping track of my progress with a pencil & paper or the touch screen. I like the app cos you can zoom in or out as much as you like and keep track of parked stitches when you walk away. It takes a few minutes to get the pattern loaded into the app but it's still faster than printing or photocopying another paper copy of a pattern to mark. the app also keeps track of how many stitches are left for each colour, which I like because when I finish a colour, I will put it back in my stash instead of leaving it in my project bag.

I'm not quite familiar with the Chrome Book, but it looks like it runs a special OS called ChromeOS. According to google, it looks like you can run some android apps without an emulator. I would give it a try and see what happens!
