About Crossly Stitch
Crossly turns your photos into cross-stitch patterns you'll love stitching. Pick a photo, touch and hold your dog, cat or loved one to lift them out of the background, and Crossly makes a chart with DMC threads, ready to stitch. Everything happens on your iPhone or iPad: no account, no uploads. FROM PHOTO TO PATTERN • Touch and hold to lift a pet, person or thing out of the photo; the background stays bare fabric • Frame just the face, the head and chest, or the whole subject in one tap • Paint away anything you don't want, or paint it back • Round hoop, square or free frame • Presets for pets, people, houses, flowers and landscapes PATTERNS THAT ARE NICE TO STITCH • Colours matched to 489 DMC threads the way your eye sees them • Stray single stitches tidied up, while highlights like the sparkle in an eye stay • Choose the size, the number of colours and the fabric count SEE IT BEFORE YOU START • Preview it finished in a hoop, framed or on a towel • Share the picture with the person it's for TOWELS • A special mode for towels with an Aida band: hand towel, guest towel, bath towel, bib and more • Your motif is fitted to the band, once in the middle or repeated along it BEAD PATTERNS TO DMC • Found a lovely MARD bead chart? Take a screenshot and Crossly turns it into a DMC pattern • Get a bead colour to DMC list to copy or share CLEAR CHARTS AND PDFS • Zoomable chart with symbols, bold lines every 10 and centre marks • Thread list with skeins, and a shopping list to copy • PDF with a thread key and chart pages, for printing or for pattern-tracking apps Made for stitchers of every age: large, clear text that follows your iPhone's text size, and available in 15 languages.

What’s new
Version 1.0.1 · Updated October 11, 2026
Clearer printed patterns: • Every chart page now has its own colour key at the bottom, so you can stitch from one page without the full key. • Every page shows a pattern code. Pages with the same code belong together. If you printed a pattern, changed it and printed it again, reprint all pages from the same export so the symbols match. • When you edit a pattern, each thread keeps its symbol wherever possible. Also new: deleted patterns go to Recently deleted in Settings for 30 days, so you can bring them back.
