The count of a fabric (the number of stitches to 2.5cm or 1in) affects the size of a finished piece even when worked from the same chart. Find the middle by following the arrows, or counting the stitches left to right and top to bottom. Traditionally, cross stitchers begin to stitch from the middle of the chart and the middle of the fabric to ensure that the design is centred when it is mounted and framed. Each occupied square equals one stitch unless otherwise stated.Ĭross stitch charts generally consist of whole squares representing complete cross stitches, but sometimes you will see additional stitches added indicating three-quarter cross stitches (sometimes called fractional stitches), French knots and so on. Each square on a chart, both occupied and unoccupied, represents two threads of linen or one block of Aida unless otherwise stated.
