Cross Stitch Size Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the size of a cross stitch design is:

$\text{Size Width (inches)} = \frac{\text{Width in Stitches}}{\text{Fabric Count}}$

$\text{Size Height (inches)} = \frac{\text{Height in Stitches}}{\text{Fabric Count}}$

Where:

Size Width (inches) is the width of the cross stitch design on the fabric.
Size Height (inches) is the height of the cross stitch design on the fabric.
Width in Stitches is the number of stitches across the design.
Height in Stitches is the number of stitches from top to bottom of the design.
Fabric Count is the number of stitches that can be made in one inch of fabric.

What is Cross Stitch Size?

Cross stitch size refers to the dimensions of a cross stitch design when it is stitched onto fabric. It is important for crafters to know the finished size of their project to ensure it fits within the intended display area or frame. The size is determined by the number of stitches in the design and the fabric count, which indicates how many stitches fit into one inch of fabric.

Example Problem

Let's assume the following:

Width in Stitches: 100
Height in Stitches: 150
Fabric Count: 14 stitches per inch

Step 1: Calculate the size width:

$\text{Size Width} = \frac{100}{14} \approx 7.14 \text{ inches}$

Step 2: Calculate the size height:

$\text{Size Height} = \frac{150}{14} \approx 10.71 \text{ inches}$

Therefore, the size of the cross stitch design is approximately 7.14 inches by 10.71 inches.
