Eight craft sheets: cross-stitch, diamond painting, fuse beads, knitting, C2C crochet, latch hook, real string art and string mandalas - with counting grids, legends and per-color usage estimates, all computed locally.
Craft sheets computed entirely in your browser: cross-stitch charts, diamond painting, fuse beads with pegboard split lines, a gauge-aware knitting chart that keeps your photo's proportions, C2C crochet, a latch-hook rug chart with per-color pack estimates, real string art threaded around physical nails with a numbered winding guide you can actually build from, and a string mandala of classic times-table chord patterns.
The source is the whole document, any layer picked by name, or the media library. Yarn colors come from the image, with an accent rescue so blue eyes survive quantization, from preset palettes, your brand kit or custom colors, and the chart is quantized to exactly those yarns. A counting grid, edge numbers and a legend with per-color usage in skeins, drills, beads or knots are included.
Open it from the Extensions menu. Every sheet takes a multi-line title in the editor font catalog, inserts as an editable layer and reopens via Edit Stitch Patterns.
Choose image
#Opens the media library to pick the source photo. The large size is used when available.
Use active layer
#Renders the currently selected layer and uses it as the chart source - a logo becomes a bead pattern in one click.
Grid width
#Chart width in cells (24-120). The height follows the image aspect; for knitting it also respects the stitch gauge.
Colors
#Palette size (6-24). Fewer colors mean an easier project, more colors a finer likeness.
Chart symbols
#Toggles the counting symbols drawn into the cells and the legend.
Stitch gauge
#Knitting only: cell height as a percentage of the width. Knitted stitches are wider than tall - the chart compensates so the finished piece keeps the photo proportions.
Pegboard size
#Fuse beads only: the pegboard module (29 x 29 or 50 x 50). Bold lines mark the board boundaries so large motifs split cleanly across boards.
Insert chart
#Bakes the chart with its legend and inserts it as an image layer, scaled to fit the document. Right-click the layer for Edit Stitch Patterns to reopen it.
Latch hook
#A latch-hook rug chart: coarse tufted cells that read like knotted yarn, no symbols needed, and the legend estimates precut yarn packs (~320 pieces) per color.
Source
#The chart pulls its image from the whole document (default), any single layer picked by name, or the media library - no empty state, the preview renders immediately.
Title and font
#Every chart takes an optional title of up to two lines, set in the editor font catalog with a 60-160% text size factor, colored by the first pinned yarn color.
String art
#A real thread portrait: greedy error-accumulation threading around 144-360 nails with up to 3500 threads and three thread weights (fine, normal, bold) - every thread covers exactly the darkness it adds, thread-thickness aware so parallel bands cannot form, with contrast stretch and an edge boost that keeps faces readable. The preview weaves the FULL thread count. The thread takes your first pinned color, and an optional numbered WINDING GUIDE sheet lists the full nail order as a second layer - print it and actually build the piece.
String mandala
#The classic times-table chord patterns: nail i connects to nail i x factor. Factor 2 draws a cardioid, 3 a nephroid, higher factors bloom into rosettes - no image needed, the thread takes your first pinned color.
Craft modes Extension 8 items #
Eight crafts share one grid engine: cross-stitch, diamond painting, fuse beads, knitting and C2C crochet.
Cross-stitch
#Tinted cells with counting symbols, a bold ten-grid with edge numbers, and a legend with an approximate skein count per color (about 1700 full stitches per 6-strand skein at 14 ct).
Diamond painting
#Faceted round drills on tinted cells, symbols for counting, and drill counts per color including a small reserve. The Drill shape select switches between square drills (full coverage, the common kit style, default) and the classic round drills.
Fuse beads
#Beads with visible holes, pegboard split lines and per-color bead counts - iron-bead motifs straight from a photo or logo.
Knitting chart
#Solid color cells in gauge-corrected proportions with row and stitch numbers on the edges.
C2C crochet
#A corner-to-corner graphgan chart: color cells with symbols and stitch counts per color.
Latch hook
#A rug chart: chunky cells sized for latch-hook canvas, with symbols for counting and a yarn count per color.
String art
#Turns the image into a nail-and-thread plan rather than a grid chart: the pin ring and the thread order.
Mandala
#Lays the motif out in rings around a centre instead of on a square grid, for round craft pieces.
