Enter the width and height in stitches, along with the fabric count, into the calculator to determine the size of the cross stitch design in inches. This calculator helps to convert the dimensions of your pattern into the actual size it will be on the fabric.

Cross Stitch Size Formula

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

Size Width (inches) = Width in Stitches / Fabric Count
Size Height (inches) = Height in Stitches / Fabric Count

Variables:

  • 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.

To calculate the size of a cross stitch design, divide the width in stitches by the fabric count to get the size width in inches. Repeat the same process for the height in stitches to get the size height in inches.

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.

How to Calculate Cross Stitch Size?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Cross Stitch Size.

  1. First, determine the width in stitches of the design.
  2. Next, determine the height in stitches of the design.
  3. Next, determine the fabric count (number of stitches per inch).
  4. Use the formulas provided to calculate the Size Width and Size Height in inches.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem:

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

Width in Stitches = 150 stitches

Height in Stitches = 200 stitches

Fabric Count = 14 stitches per inch
