Hello,
I am trying to make a capital letter “S” fit nicely within a panel of single crochet: 61 st across x 85 st down. The letter would have to be reverse popcorn stitches, and centered in the pattern.
I tried using stitch fiddle while looking at pictures of crochet alphabets, but they were all on such a small scale and I couldn’t get it right (and it was my first time using SF).
Can anyone point me in a better direction?
Thanks so much.

maybe you could make an image with the ¨S¨ in a higher resolution then import that to stitchfiddle? this is what i mean:
^ here, i made a 61x85 canvas and sized it up to keep the ratio. then, i inserted the text box with the “S” and centered it
^ changed the font, color, and background then exported it
^ making the chart, selected this option
^ changed the size to 85 (brought the width down to 60 for some reason but hopefully that isn’t too much of an issue) and reduced it to 2 colors
update (i misunderstood the first time)
alright, so i made the assumption that each reverse popcorn stitch is roughly equivalent to a 2x2 square of scs. first i made a rectangle around the S in the main file with a 1-stitch allowance on every side and erased the S itself. (this is to have a guide as to where to put the smaller S)
then i made another file with a height of 42 (since it’s roughly half of 85). filled in the gaps, opened it beside the original file, and began to copy the smaller version into the rectangle i drew earlier. here’s what i ended with:
(it was slightly off center, but i fixed it by adding 1 row on the right and deleting one on the left)
this is very long but hopefully it sorta makes sense
