I would like to make a hook rug for my spare bathroom in the shape of an original Nintendo controler, but I'm not sure how to graph out a pattern. Thanks Julia :zelda :yoshi

Not knowing much about latch hooking, do you know how many stitches you get per inch or per foot on the latch hook material?

EDIT: You could try this website to make a pattern: http://www.leftsource.com/

How does this look? It's not exactly the same, but I think the general idea is still there and you can play with it as you go.

It's 141 x 62 pixels, so it should be about 37.5" x 16.5" on 3.75 canvas or 28" x 12" on 5 canvas. If you wanted to, you could add a border around the outside to make it closer to the size you wanted. I think it'd be cool to add a colored border all the way around and add the cord to the top like your picture shows. Hopefully this helps!
