Free cross stitch patterns
A small set of charts we drew and checked by hand — no auto-generated filler. Every colour is real DMC floss, every pattern opens in the free editor so you can recolour or resize it, and nothing here is watermarked or gated. Want a pattern of your own photo instead? Turn a photo into a pattern.
