The pattern library
Free cross stitch patterns, chart and all.
Small, quick designs you can actually stitch from the page: the symbol chart, the DMC thread key and the skein counts are all here, free. The same charts our generator makes — just drawn by us instead of from your photo.
Curious which DMC colors these charts lean on? Which DMC colors these patterns use, counted chart by chart.
Fair questions
Are these patterns really free?
Yes. Each page shows the full symbol chart and the DMC thread key, and the print button gives you a clean copy. No account, no email. The library exists so you can try a chart from us before deciding whether a custom one from your own photo is worth $5.99.
What do I need to stitch one?
A scrap of 14-count Aida, an embroidery needle, a small hoop and the DMC skeins listed in the key — most of these motifs use one skein per color. On 14-count fabric the largest design finishes under two inches square.
Can I sell something I stitch from these?
You can sell the finished stitched piece you made with your own hands. What you can't do is redistribute the chart itself — sell the pattern, post the file, or pass it off as your own design. See the terms page for the wording.
Can I get a pattern from my own photo instead?
Yes — that is what the generator does. Upload a photo, preview the chart free, and pay only if you want the printable PDF with the full symbol chart, DMC key and skein counts.
Rather stitch something of your own?
Upload a photo — a pet, a wedding day, a kid's drawing — and get the same kind of chart, made from it. Free preview; the printable PDF is $5.99.
