The shape is

Dark / light cutoff: 128

Block fill: 45%

Block fill: lower keeps small points and thin parts, higher gives tighter edges.

Fill in holes inside the shape (keeps it one solid piece)

2. Size, stitch and gauge

Height at the highest point (inches)

Width at the widest point (inches)

Stitch you will use

Gauge: stitches per inch

Gauge: rows per inch

Chart pages

Gauge numbers fill in with typical worsted-weight starting values when you change the stitch. Replace them with the numbers from your own swatch.

Chart style

Draw blocks in stitch proportions, so the chart matches the shape of your finished piece Include written row-by-row instructions (not used with the X-only style)
