Method 1c
Method 1c - Skip Rows - There is no easy way to convert such a graph. If you use it as is, the resulting image will look the same as it does on the chart - distorted. If it's a simple design and you skip (don't work) every few rows, it has a good chance of coming out correctly. Begin by skipping every third or four row, on average. Be prepared to make lots of swatches!
Method 3 - Use Rectangular Stitches - In this case, you might want to try working 2 hdcs or 3 dcs for each block. Again, try it and see which looks best.
Method 4 - Adjust the Number of Stitches per Block - For filet crochet, you could try working 3 dcs (or tcs) instead of 2 dcs (or tcs) for each solid block, and reducing the number of chains by one for each open block.
