Cross Stitch Pattern Maker

Turn any photo into a cross stitch pattern you can print and stitch tonight.

Pick a photo of your pet, your family, a flower or a favourite place. The app turns it into a chart of real DMC thread colours, shows you how the finished piece will look in stitches, and makes a printable PDF with everything you need.

NEW: CROCHET GRAPHS

Crochet too? Switch to C2C (corner to corner), single crochet or tapestry crochet and the same photo becomes a crochet graph.

• Every row written out: tiles of each colour per C2C diagonal, with where to increase and decrease, or right side and wrong side rows for graphghans

• A row tracker that lights up the next row on the graph as you go

• Squares shaped by your gauge, so the picture keeps its shape when you work it

• Yards and balls of yarn for every colour, lettered A, B, C

FREE, WITH NO LIMITS

Every feature is free. No limit on size, no limit on colours, no limit on how many patterns you make. Your patterns stay saved on your phone.

WHAT YOU GET

• Real DMC stranded cotton colours, 454 of them, with the number and name of every thread

• A stitched preview, so you see the finished piece before you buy a single skein

• A colour chart and a black and white symbol chart, with bold lines every 10 stitches

• A shopping list: how many skeins of each thread, for 11, 14, 16 or 18 count Aida

• The finished size in cm and inches, and how much fabric to cut

• Any shape: square, tall or wide, and crop the photo to just the part you want

A PDF MADE FOR STITCHING

• A cover with a picture of the finished design and all the sizes

• A thread key with symbols, DMC numbers, stitch counts and skeins

• A page map showing how the chart pages fit together

• Chart pages with row and column numbers and arrows marking the centre

• Colour, black and white, or both, on A4 or Letter paper

• Bigger squares if you like an easier read

• Print it, save it to Downloads, or share it

MAKE IT YOURS

• Choose from 2 to 60 colours

• Tidy stray stitches, so you are not changing thread for a single cross

• Swap any thread for another DMC colour, or merge two colours into one

• Draw, fill and pick stitches by hand

• Clear a background in one tap, so the fabric shows through

• Vivid colour and smooth shading options for photos

• Undo and redo
