Cross stitch size calculator
Finished size is the stitch count divided by the fabric count. Enter your design below to see it in inches and centimetres, or work backwards from the size you want. It is the same rule the PIXVIX editor uses in Chart info.
The rule
On Aida, fabric count is how many stitches fit in one inch. A 140 × 140 chart on 14-count is 10 × 10 inches (25.4 × 25.4 cm). Pixvix stores fabricCount on the chart (default 14) and displays this size in Chart info.
What this does not do
It does not estimate floss skeins, hoop size, or “over two” on linen. Over two on 28-count evenweave is a different convention; Pixvix’s Info panel does not apply that automatically.
Questions
- Does Pixvix use this formula in the product?
- Yes. The editor Info panel formats finished size from width, height, and fabric count with the same division. Changing cloth count in the editor updates that readout.
- Which fabric counts are typical?
- 14-count Aida is the Pixvix default for new charts. 11, 16, and 18 are common Aida counts. Higher counts make the same stitch grid physically smaller.
- Why is the result different from a hoop I own?
- Hoops are usually named by inner diameter, and you leave a margin. The calculator reports the stitched area only.
