About Cross Stitch Calculator
Cross Stitch Calculator is an independent website of free planning tools for counted cross stitch: design size, fabric size, floss and stitch counts, for any fabric, in inches and centimetres.
What the site does
- Cross Stitch Calculator: Finished design size and fabric to cut, for any count, in inches and cm.
- Cross Stitch Floss Calculator: Thread length and skeins to buy for each colour in your chart.
- Cross Stitch Stitch Count Calculator: Turn a finished size into stitches, or find the biggest design your fabric can hold.
- Cross Stitch Fabric Count Converter: How the finished size changes when you switch fabric or count.

What it does not do
- It does not turn photos into patterns or sell patterns, fabric or floss.
- It has no accounts. Saved projects stay in your own browser.
- It does not replace your pattern’s instructions; check your chart before you cut fabric.
Who runs it
Cross Stitch Calculator is run by Fahad Shoaib, the site owner, who maintains the formulas, defaults and sources described on the methodology page and reviews every correction that readers send in.
How the site is paid for
The tools are free and need no sign-up. The site does not show advertising or use affiliate links at the moment. If that changes, this page and the privacy policy will say so before it happens, and ads will never sit between a calculator and its result.
Corrections
If a number looks wrong, please tell us. Every correction is checked against the sources, fixed, and recorded in the methodology changelog.
