Cross stitch pattern maker for Android
Any photo becomes a pattern you can actually make.
Pick a photo of your dog, your house or your kid’s drawing, and Gingham turns it into a clean cross stitch chart with real DMC floss colors — or a crochet graphgan, a knitting chart, an alpha bracelet or a Perler bead pattern. You see the whole pattern, at full quality, before you pay for anything.

Your pattern, before any paywall
Too many pattern makers let you look at four sample designs and then ask for money before you can try your own photo. Gingham does it the other way round: you make the pattern from your photo, zoom into every stitch, and check the shopping list — at full quality, no watermark. Only saving, exporting and making more patterns need Gingham Pro, and that starts with a free trial.
- Choose a craft and what you’re makingA 6″ hoop, a bookmark, a pillow, a baby blanket, one pegboard.
- Pick a photo, or start from a sampleThrough Android’s photo picker — no photo permission to grant.
- Crop it, and the pattern builds in secondsRight on your phone. Zoom to a stitch and back out to the whole design.
- Adjust until it’s rightSize, number of colors, Bold or Detailed shading, and Reduce confetti.
One app, five grid crafts
A pattern maker that knows what each grid is for
Switch crafts at any time and the same photo becomes a new pattern, with the right grid, palette and color key for that craft.
Cross stitch
A cross stitch pattern maker for 11, 14, 16 or 18 count Aida, with every color matched to DMC floss and skein estimates.
Up to 60 DMC colors
Fuse beads
A Perler bead pattern maker for one 29 × 29 pegboard or bigger, in Perler, Hama midi or Artkal S colors — with a bead count for each.
Up to 40 bead colors
Crochet
A graphgan creator for tapestry crochet pillows, baby blankets and throws. Your own yarn, so each color gets a letter and a plain name.
Up to 16 colors
Alpha bracelets
An alpha pattern maker for 10 to 22 columns, as long as your image — a bold heart makes a lovely first try.
Up to 12 colors
Knitting colorwork
A knitting chart maker whose cells are wider than tall, like real stitches, so the chart looks like the knitted piece.
Up to 8 colors
The details that matter
A clean chart, not a pixelated mess
The color key is a shopping list
Every thread or bead color comes with its code, its name and how much to buy: approximate skeins for floss, an exact count for beads. Tap a color to light it up on the chart.
A PDF you can print
Letter or A4: a cover, the color key, and chart pages with symbols, a bold line every ten cells, row and column numbers on every page and a small overlap between pages. Crochet and knitting patterns add row-by-row color runs. Or share the chart as a PNG.
Colors, symbols, or both
Read the chart the way you stitch: colored cells, black-and-white symbols, or both at once, with a minimap so you never lose your place.
A library of your patterns
Save patterns, rename them and duplicate them to try a different size or palette without losing the first version.
Private, and plain about price
Your photos stay on your phone
The conversion runs on the device. Your photos are never uploaded, there is no account to create, and pictures come in through Android’s photo picker, so there is no photo or storage permission to grant. The only things that leave the phone are the purchase itself, through Google Play, and anonymous usage analytics.
