I am new to here and an ameture crocheter. I created a pattern in tunsinian stitch and could use some help understanding the pattern. I believe the stitch is TSS and or TPS for the blanket I am attempting to make. Any advise or help is appreciated.

Terrydrew,

Welcome!

I'm not entirely sure I'm understanding, so please feel free to clarify. The freePatternWizard produces a graph that can be used with Tunisian stitches; however, it still relies on gauge to know if the stitches are Tunisian horizontal, Tunisian vertical or Tunisian square. Did your gauge swatch have horizontal stitches, vertical stitches or were your stitches completely square? It sounds as if you chose Tunisian vertical, but if your gauge TSS or TPS stitches weren't vertical (or they weren't crocheted as TPS, but rather, something like TKS), the pattern will end up skewed. For example, if your gauge stitches were actually horizontal, crocheting them from a vertical pattern will stretch them out and they'll be shorter, so your pattern may not look as good.

Please let me know if I'm not correctly answering your question; my apologies for not understanding.
