Pixilart
Pixilart is a free online pixel art editor and community. It is not a craft tool as such, but crocheters, cross stitchers and knitters use pixel grids to plan C2C blankets, tapestry crochet, colourwork and perler-style motifs.
Each pixel maps to one stitch, so you can count rows and colours straight from the drawing.
- Pixel grid drawing
- Colour palettes
- Export images
Stitch Fiddle
Stitch Fiddle is a browser-based chart editor for knitters, crocheters and cross stitchers. You draw on a grid of stitches, pick colours and symbols, and can start a chart from a photo instead of a blank grid.
It suits colourwork such as Fair Isle, intarsia, tapestry crochet, C2C blankets and cross-stitch designs. The basic editor is free; a premium plan adds more features.
