Why not make the grid rectangular to match the actual shape of a knit stitch?
Awesome trick, though. I’ll be using it for sure!

You have to just play with your image to get it to fit, possibly using the free transform tool or using Image Size without preserving the aspect ratio. You’ll see in the PDF that the skeleton grid given there is a little taller and skinnier looking than the resulting sweater, but that’s just from the image I used at the time. Thanks for reminding me!

But then maybe nobody will care… :-)

ditto on the grid — stranded colorwork can result in square-er stitches, but otherwise they are a lot wider than tall… I think about 1.67w to 1h

But the pixel trick is pretty nifty!

Nor a mac…

Have you considered trying to do tutorials in The Gimp?

I just teach what I know, and would be very interested in learning the subtle differences, but I would hope that one would glean the concepts necessary to do this process in whatever software and platform you like. I’m all for free and open source software, and if you find the parts where my tutorial varies from The Gimp, please share with us to help out other users!

This will help me with knitting as well as cross stitch. Thanks so much for taking the time to share with us!
