Strawberry
From a reference image to a counted chart
A clear silhouette and simple background work well at small sizes. This example uses a 40-stitch width and a six-colour limit, with each stitch still editable.

How to make a cross stitch pattern
Choose an image or start from a grid
Use a PNG, JPEG or WebP you have permission to use. Pick a stitch width and a colour limit, or draw directly on a blank grid.
Review the chart stitch by stitch
Edit colours with the pencil and eraser. When the editor flags an isolated stitch, compare the suggestion before applying it or keeping the original.
Check the proof and print
Choose A4 or US Letter. Check the numbered chart pages and floss key, then download the PDF in colour or black and white.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need an account to create a pattern?
No. You can import a photo, edit a sample or start a blank chart without signing in. Standard PDF downloads are currently free.
What images work best?
Start with a clear subject and a simple background. The converter accepts PNG, JPEG and WebP up to 20 MB. Charts can be up to 200 × 200 stitches. Use a smaller width if a tall image exceeds that limit.
Does my photo get uploaded?
Image conversion runs in your browser. The editor stores the current chart on this device. Download a project file to keep an editable backup or move the chart to another browser.
Which thread colours are available?
The current palette has 12 reference shades labelled with DMC codes. Screen colours are approximate, so compare them with real floss before buying or stitching.
What is an isolated stitch?
An isolated stitch is a single stitch whose colour does not touch another stitch of the same colour. The editor flags some of these stitches and suggests nearby colours. You can keep intentional details or undo a change.
What comes in the printable PDF?
The PDF includes a cover, numbered chart pages and a floss key with symbols, thread codes and stitch counts. Choose A4 or US Letter and print a test page before stitching.
How do I calculate how much fabric to cut?
Enter the chart’s stitch width and height, your fabric count and the margin you need on each side. The fabric calculator shows the stitched area and the full size to cut separately.
