Each x in cross stitching equals one stitch in crocheting. I frequently make my own graph using a cross stitching design program called PC Stitch. As a matter of fact, I'm working on one of them right now.

Before you start working, crochet a 10 st x 10 row square to get a feel for how big the blanket will be and give consideration to how big you want it and how to accomodate. There really is no "conversion" necessary.

If you have the picture, you can upload to this site and it will give you the graph. I have used this in the past to convert graphics for crocheting see Tigger - found picture on web, uploaded and got graph:

Here is a link that might be useful: KnitPro 2.0

Thank you both for your help. I will get the crosstitch pattern and see how intricate the color scheme is.

Thanks for the knitpro site I had plans on making a afghan from some favorite cartoon charcters and had the pics but had not put them to a graph yet and this was a big help in that. So I will be playing with that site for awhile.

Thanks again for both of your help I really appreciate it

and i love your tigger afghan it looks great.

I too am trying to convert a cross stitch image to crochet. I tried using KnitPro 2.0. I browsed for my image and selected it then I hit submit but I keep getting an error message saying "no image was selected". Can anyone help me?

Thanks Ellen

I'm sure you can simply use the graph as is for crochet. Single crochet and cross stitch are pretty well square. Knit stitches on the other hand are wider than high.
