New! Caron One Pound, Caron Simply Soft and Herrschners 2-Ply Afghan palettes - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!
New! The Herrschner's Worsted Palette - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!
New! We've just added the palette for Deborah Norville Everyday Yarn! If you knit and/or crochet, this is for you. This is a beautiful yarn with a nice feel to it, a good alternative in worsted weight acrylic! (Thank you again to BetwixtTheStitch!)
New! The Red Heart Super Saver Palette - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!
Welcome to Stitchboard! Feel free to sit and stay awhile. Check out our new Premier features. In addition to the ability to create larger patterns (up to 500 stitches wide), illusion knitting and private labeling (no more worries about editing those pesky and messy PDFs), we've just introduced Filet Crochet, our most popular request! We have many more features planned, too!

Angela,
You're so very welcome!
Picachu,
Welcome! 
There's a
calculation involved if you don't have fabric measurements. But the
good news is, you don't need to reinvent the wheel! Someone has an
excellent cross stitch fabric calculator.
https://yarntree.com/java/xstitchcal.htm
In addition to the number of stitches either way, you do
need to know the count of the fabric you're using, because that
will make a difference. 14 count vs 11 count is very different!
This calculator also allows for the
specification of a border, if you plan to use a mat, and another
calculation for extra fabric for finishing.
Hope this helps!
Hi,
I'm trying to make a pattern
with the pattern creator and it looks very good, but the real card
only has 6 solid colours and the pattern gives me so many, every
cross stitch seems to be a different colour. I've been playing with
the options the creator has, but I haven't found out which of the
image enhancement options I need to get more solid coloured areas.
Does anybody here know? Thanks.
beadsNbooks,
Welcome! What a
great name!
The Stitchboard
full palette isn't for a particular yarn or type of bead. We
actually don't recommend using it for creating patterns, which is
why we created a more generic designation, the Stitchboard basic
palette. Those are more likely to be found in yarn, in particular,
and also are good for beads. The colors are much more limited, but
when we're talking limited palettes like yarn manufacturers
generally have available, there's just no way to match up all or
even most of the colors in the full palette to specific product
colors.
