X stitch patterns
X stitch patterns to make and download free. Turn any photo into an x stitch chart with DMC colours and a printable PDF — no account needed.
"X stitch" is simply another way people write cross stitch — named after the X shape each stitch makes. Everything about the craft is the same: the same fabric, the same DMC floss, the same charts.
Make your own instead of hunting for one
Most people searching for x stitch patterns are looking for something specific — their dog, their house, a favourite photo. Rather than trawling through other people's designs, you can make exactly what you want: upload the picture, choose how many colours and how big, and download a printable chart with the thread list worked out for you.
What you get
- A chart with a symbol for every colour, in numbered pages you can print
- The DMC floss list, with how many stitches each colour needs
- The finished size for your fabric count
- A preview of how the stitches will actually look
One colour only
If you want something bolder and quicker, an [alpha pattern](/alpha-pattern) uses a single colour of thread and lets the bare fabric form the other tone. They look striking and take a fraction of the time.
