Angular Cross Stitch Font
Square, outlined letters that look like tiles, for a clean and contemporary look.
Small, Medium and Large
Angular is a subscriber font, so here it is as a short sample rather than a full chart. The generator has three stitch sizes. Medium and Large are the same letters with every square doubled or tripled, so the shapes stay identical and simply stitch up bigger. The generator starts at Medium.
| Size | Letter (stitches) | Gap | Height on 14-count | Height on 18-count |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small | 8 wide × 8 tall | 1 | 0.57 in (1.5 cm) | 0.44 in (1.1 cm) |
| Medium | 16 wide × 16 tall | 2 | 1.14 in (2.9 cm) | 0.89 in (2.3 cm) |
| Large | 24 wide × 24 tall | 3 | 1.71 in (4.4 cm) | 1.33 in (3.4 cm) |
How much text fits in a frame
Planning a verse, poem or recipe? These are the characters per line (counting spaces) and the number of lines that fit on 14-count Aida, leaving a 1 in border all round. Allow about six characters for an average word and its space.
| Frame | Small | Medium | Large |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 × 7 in | 4 per line, 7 lines | 2 per line, 3 lines | 1 per line, 2 lines |
| 8 × 10 in | 9 per line, 11 lines | 4 per line, 5 lines | 3 per line, 3 lines |
| 11 × 14 in | 14 per line, 17 lines | 7 per line, 8 lines | 4 per line, 5 lines |
Where Angular works best
Angular suits minimalist and modern pieces: a single word on a plain hoop, a name on a geometric nursery design, or a bold statement with lots of fabric around it. Because the letters are outlines, the fabric shows through the middle, which keeps even a long word light.
Every letter is exactly 8 stitches square, so a word is easy to centre. The outline also makes a good base for filling the middle in a second colour in the editor.
Stitch your own words in Angular
Type a name, date or a whole verse into the cross stitch font generator, pick a size and thread colour, and it builds the chart for you, ready to print as a PDF or open in Pattern Keeper. Angular is included with a Standard or Pro subscription.
