Draw it, chart it

Drawing Chart Studio

Set your gauge and the size of the piece, then draw straight onto the grid. Up to three colors, a brush as wide as you like, and the cells keep the real proportions of your stitches — save it as PNG or PDF, or print it.

Gauge (10 cm / 4 in)

The gauge sets the cell shape and the finished size. Changing it never changes the drawing — the stitch and row counts stay put.

Board

40 sts × 40 rows · about 26.7 × 18.2 cm. Making the board smaller drops what you drew outside it — undo brings it back.

Colors (up to 3)

Color 1

Picking a swatch recolors the whole color you have selected — everything drawn in it changes at once. A color another number already uses is off limits.

Brush

Click or drag to fill cells with the color you picked; start on a cell that already has it and the same drag rubs it out. Move lets you push a board that is wider than the screen.

Each column is one stitch and each row is one row. Read from row 1 at the bottom upward, and from stitch 1 on the left to the right. Heavy lines fall every 5 cells.

Use it for colorwork — stranded knitting or intarsia — or as a duplicate-stitch chart embroidered over stockinette. Stitch and row counts stay the same at any gauge; a different gauge only changes the finished size and the shape of each cell.
