Free crochet pattern maker

Turn a photo into a crochet pattern.

Upload any photograph and StitchingLab will generate a stitch chart, a materials list, and a one-click affiliate cart for the yarn. Free, browser-based, no sign-up. Choose crochet (filet or tapestry), cross-stitch, or knit colorwork.

Step 2 · Stitch type

Step 3 · Grid size

Smaller grids stitch faster but lose detail. 80 × 80 is the sweet spot for most photographs.

Step 4 · Number of colors

More colors = richer image, more yarn changes per row.

Step 5 · Yarn brand preference

Your chart will appear here.

How it works

A photo becomes a chart in three moves.

  1. 1. Drop your photograph.

    JPG, PNG, WEBP, HEIC. Up to 10MB. Anonymous upload is fine.

  2. 2. Choose grid size, colors, stitch.

    80×80 with 8 colors is the sweet spot for most photographs. Filet uses 2 colors. Cross-stitch can handle finer detail.

  3. 3. Get your chart and materials list.

    We snap each color to the closest match in your selected yarn brand, calculate how many skeins you need, and generate a one-line SLPN code you can copy, paste, or share.
