Needlepoint pattern maker

Turn a photo into a needlepoint chart. Choose the width in stitches, the number of colors and your canvas mesh, and see the finished size before you buy the canvas.

The chart prints with symbols and a key that counts the stitches in each color. The photo never leaves your device.

From photo to canvas

Needlepoint covers the whole canvas, so untick Leave white empty if the background should be stitched too. Mesh is the number of holes per inch: 13-mesh is the usual choice for wool, 18-mesh for fine detail in thinner thread, 10 or 12-mesh for quick, chunky work. The note under the tool shows the finished size on the mesh you pick.

The chart prints over as many pages as it needs, with a heavier line every 10 stitches and a key with a line to write in your yarn. For counted cross stitch on Aida, use the cross stitch pattern maker.
