Hello All

Does anyone have or can they direct me to a knit or crochet pattern of the University of Pittsburgh (PITT) logo ?

A nephew of mine requested a pillow, apparently he saw this at a craft show he was at with his Mom.

Any help will be appreciated

Thanks !!!

I just Goggled "Pitt logo". From what came up you may be able to use one of either the Pitt Panther, or the university coat of arms, or just the word, "Pitt".

Thank you

I did that before I posted on here.

I think he just wants "PITT" which seems east enough but I am the type of person who does better with a pattern ????

Thank you again

i down loaded the the pick or work from the web sight and went to a copy place and had them put in on graph paper.... i gave them a sheet of knit graph paper the put it on a clear sheet of paper then put it over the picture or wording and make a copy for me..... i also needed it larger so they enlarged it for me and then instead of 1 stitch per square i did 2 or 3 per squar to make it larger.. i hope this helps

If you just want the letters "PITT" go to Ravelry.com and search for knit alphabet.

Or, you can go to StitchFiddle.com and create your own chart.

Both are good options. Of course you still need to decide what the final size is to be able to know how big to make the logo.

I do mini sweaters. I have made a Pitt...is this similar to what he wants on a pillow? It would be easy to chart larger...

This is what I would do if you want it to be in the official Pitt script. As a Pitt grad I'd be interested in something like this-let me see if I can find anything.

This is a link to a cross stitch Pitt graph. It may help!

Get graph paper specifically for knitting and graph the word into a visual pattern. You could also duplicate-stitch the design onto a knitted item, which would be your easiest bet. Best wishes!

Great idea thank you

Hello all

I want to thank everyone who responded.
After some trail and error I finally finished a PITT pillow for the kid and he loved it.
I ended up finding Stitchboard.com, a free service where one can upload a picture and Stichboard puts the picture onto a grid with colors you choose.
The final result is just single crochet stitched background, then cross stitching the pattern as someone here suggested.

So thanks again for the help.

 

[Pittgirl]

that looks great! Good job!

 

[Scoot915]

Thank you

This silly thing drove me crazy lol
Pic not great but it tuned out better than I expected and the kid loved it which is the most important thing..
