Create custom cross stitch grids with color palettes and stitch count calculations.
A cross stitch pattern is a grid: each cell is one stitch, and each palette color is one thread color. The tool gives you an empty grid sized in stitches and a palette of thread colors; you assign a color to each cell, and it tallies stitches per color and in total as you work, so you know exactly how many stitches each color needs before you buy thread. The thing people trip on first is the unit: the grid is measured in stitches, not inches. On 14-count Aida there are 14 stitches per inch, so a 40-stitch-wide design is only about 2.9 inches across.
A concrete input and expected output from the current implementation.
Input
Grid: 40 stitches wide, 30 stitches high. Palette: 8 thread colors.
Expected output
A 40 x 30 grid of 1200 cells, one cell per stitch, with 8 palette colors. Total stitch count: 1200. Per-color stitch counts update as cells are colored and always add up to 1200.
A cross stitch grid has exactly one cell per stitch, so the total is width times height: 40 x 30 = 1200. Because every cell is exactly one color, the per-color counts must sum to that total, so the tool's counts and the grid always reconcile.
You set the grid's width and height in stitches, and the tool draws one cell per stitch. A palette holds the thread colors you plan to use; each cell is assigned exactly one palette color, so the design stays limited to threads you actually chose. Per-cell color assignment is also what makes per-color stitch counting possible.
Every colored cell adds one stitch to that color's tally and one to the running total, so the counts always reconcile: total stitches equals width times height, and the per-color counts sum to that total exactly. The tallies are derived from the grid rather than entered by hand, so a change to the grid updates every affected count at once.
Multiply the inches by the fabric count. A 4-inch-tall motif on 14-count Aida is 4 x 14 = 56 stitches tall, so set the grid height to 56. Going the other way, divide stitches by the fabric count to get the finished size in inches. The grid is always in stitches; the fabric count is the conversion factor between the two.
It tells you stitches per color exactly, one cell per stitch, and that number is reliable. Skein counts are a separate estimate you have to make: floss use depends on strands per stitch, fabric count, and personal tension, none of which the grid models. Budget extra thread for your heaviest colors and any backstitch work.
