Fir Cone Chart
Now the only thing about this chart is that the purl rows are put in as what is commonly know as a wrong side knit stitch. I didn't catch it until the chart was printed, but I actually found it easier to follow, even if it's technically incorrect.
Hi Melissa, I recognize Knit Visualizer! I use it, too, and LOVE it. When you do your chart or instructions, there's a drop down box ("Mode") with selections of "circular" which would make it all right side rows, or "flat" that makes it a right side row, then a wrong side row. You can easily just open the file and pick the one you want then you can still "Export to PNG" to print it out nicely. Great, huh? I just love it...can't say enough. I really like how your sample shows the pattern - really nice yarn!
