40 × 50 squares · 160.00 × 200.00 mm on paper

4.000 mm per drawing square

From paper to fabric

Drawing cells give you room for pencil marks. They do not change the finished stitching. This optional cloth estimate uses your current 40 × 50 grid.

Stitched area: 2.86 × 3.57 in / 7.26 × 9.07 cm.

Calculate fabric with a border

This estimate does not change your download. Count means squares per inch on Aida or threads per inch on evenweave; Over 2 uses two fabric threads per stitch. Calculation and sources.

How to print your grid

  1. Choose A4 or US Letter, orientation and square counts. Use Fixed size or Fit to page.
  2. Download PDF and print at 100% / Actual size. Turn off Fit, Shrink and extra browser headers.
  3. Measure the 50 mm ruler on the printed sheet. Correct printer scaling before drawing.

Graph paper questions

Can I print this cross stitch graph paper on A4 or US Letter?

Yes. Choose A4 or US Letter and portrait or landscape, then download the matching PDF. Print at 100% / Actual size and check its 50 mm ruler; printer scaling can change it.

Why does my grid not fit on one page?

Fixed drawing cells can make the grid larger than the printable area. Reduce the squares or cell size, change orientation, or choose Fit to page. Fit changes drawing-cell size explicitly.

Is 4 mm graph paper the same as 14-count Aida?

No. A 4 mm cell is a drawing square on paper; 14-count describes cloth. A 40 × 50 stitch design on 14-count Aida over 1 is about 2.86 × 3.57 in, regardless of the paper drawing-cell size. Use the fabric calculator for a cloth estimate.

Where is the center of an odd-sized grid?

The center passes through the middle square on an odd axis and between squares on an even axis. Enable center marks to locate it; bold lines group every 10 squares.

Should I download PDF or SVG?

PDF is the straightforward print option. SVG is a vector alternative for a compatible viewer; its physical millimeter dimensions still depend on the viewer respecting the scale. Both are one page.

Does this worksheet save a pattern in Crosy?

No. It creates a blank paper grid and does not save editor projects. Follow the complete design lesson for a digital blank chart, drawing, native save and chart export.
