Below are links to amazing video tutorials how to create diagrams in rounds using StitchinCrochet font by BayviewPaula (sure this technique will work for your custom created symbols too): You have two options: create your own or purchase a crochet font like StitchingCrochet (or ready-made library if any is available for sell). To create the charts you will need a library of crochet symbols first of all. It’s really matters to pass first learning bumps and get comfortable with Ai tools first of all. Take your time to watch this course, which includes a detailed explanation of the elements that make up vector graphics, and shows how to use each of Illustrator’s drawing tools. To get started, I would highly recommend Illustrator CS5 Essential Training by lynda. If you don’t have this software, you may want to try trial version of Adobe Illustrator ® CS5 first, which is fully functional and offers every feature of the product for you to test-drive. Even if I get asked a lot about how I draw my crochet diagrams, just about a week ago I started to use Adobe Illustrator and I really can’t describe how I’m happy with this drawing software and with a new and exactly look of my diagrams I wanted!! And as I promised, I’m so glad to share some helpful links and tips, which helped me a lot.
