Cross-stitch guides and DMC color charts
Free reference pages for cross-stitch, built from the same data the FlossChart converter uses: the DMC floss color table (489 colors, CC BY 4.0), the finished size formula and the skein estimate. Every page links to the free tool, so you can try the numbers on your own photo.
FlossChart turns a photo into a printable cross-stitch pattern in your browser. You choose the width in stitches (20 to 500) and the number of DMC colors (2 to 60), clean up stray single stitches, and print a chart with symbols, a floss list and skein estimates. Charts up to 40 x 40 stitches are free; bigger charts need a one-time unlock of €5.
