Download Affinity Designer 2
Purchase it here. Page down and find the ipad link, under $20. I bought the Universal license because I use Affinity Photo 2 on my mac, and I am discovering how well all the apps work together on the ipad. I’ll share more of what I’ve discovered during the Computer Tech Office Hours. Members of The Rug Hooking Journey are invited to ALL Office Hours, but members of this course get an invite on the Computer Tech week. See the Dashboard for details.
Zoom Link for the Live Lessons
Use the Dashboard for the link to Office Hours on the third Tuesday every month. You can attend live, but the recordings are posted inside The Rug Hooking Journey membership. You will need the membership to watch the past recordings of ALL Office Hours. Several courses are included with the membership also.

Your Progress on this Course:
There is no substitute for drawing your own patterns. You not only get to hook what you want, but you really understand the pattern when you are done. When you hire someone else to create your pattern, you miss out on all this preliminary work.
Original Image
Traditional short cuts using a photo app do not create useable patterns. Seeing the image like this may give you some insight, but you need something else.
The contour line drawing seems like the right option, but all it does is confuse things. It creates too many lines in the grass and not enough on the dog.
Manually tracing the pattern is the only way to get a good rug hooking pattern AND understand the image.
