How to create your own cross stitch pattern?
To design your own cross stitch pattern, you’ll need a graph paper, colored pencils, eraser, and floss color chart for color shades. Don’t forget to have the picture that you want to use to create the pattern in case you need to trace it on the graph paper. Once you have all these in place, follow the listed steps to create your own cross stitch pattern.
- On the graph paper, draw the picture which you want to project as your cross stitch pattern. Or you can also trace the picture using a tracing paper.
Note: The size of the picture matters a lot. For example, if you are using a graph paper with 8 squares per inch and 16 point Aida cloth for cross stitching then your picture will be only half the size as seen on graph paper. Instead of 16 point Aida cloth, if you use an 11 point Aida cloth then you will be able to obtain approximately the same size of the picture that you drew on the graph paper.
- Now, transform your picture into square edges. If you want to project the picture on to the Aida cloth then it is very essential to follow this step.
- Next decide the colors for various portions of the pattern. In case you want to add shadow effect think about the side from where light is coming in the picture. For shading effects, you can blend different colors and shades of cross stitch floss.
By following these simple steps, you can create your own cross stitch pattern.
