Stitch a bright glass mason jar with this free printable cross-stitch pattern. The chart includes DMC floss colors, fabric sizing, and an editable preview before you export the finished PDF.
A clear jar depends on edges and highlights rather than solid fill. Keep the pale blue and white stitches around the rim, shoulder, and straw so the shape reads as glass instead of a flat blue block.

Real examples
StitchBitz turns the colours and shapes in a picture into a counted grid using real DMC floss shades. Open any example to inspect the chart, materials, and editable pattern.
Built for real projects
A useful photo-to-cross-stitch pattern maker needs to do more than pixelate an image. It should simplify the picture, map it to real thread colours, and leave you in control of the final chart.
Every generated colour is matched to a DMC thread code, so the chart maps to floss you can actually buy and stitch with.
Stitchability controls smooth noisy areas and reduce isolated confetti stitches while keeping the subject recognisable.
Your photo is processed on your device. It is not sent to StitchBitz or stored on a server.
Adjust colours, remove stitches, add backstitch detail, and check the floss list before exporting a PDF or JPG.
Better source, better chart
You can turn any image into a cross stitch pattern, but a few simple choices make the finished chart cleaner and easier to recognise.
Pets, portraits, flowers, ornaments, and simple objects usually translate more cleanly than a crowded scene.
A well-lit subject that stands apart from its background is easier to simplify into distinct thread colours.
Frame the part you care about first. A tighter crop gives the available stitches to the subject instead of empty space.
Good to know
The short version: it is free, private, editable, and designed to produce the files you need to start stitching.
Yes. You can convert a photo, edit the generated chart, and download the finished pattern as a PDF or JPG without paying or creating an account.

Learn how to choose a photo and pattern settingsTo stitch this design, you will need a piece of Aida fabric measuring at least 15×15 cm on 16-count Aida. The full DMC floss palette for this chart uses 24 colors:
Yes. The jar has a clear outline and a limited cool palette, with most detail grouped around the lid, straw, and glass highlights. 14-count Aida keeps the default chart easy to count.
The pattern uses pale blues and whites for glass shine, stronger blues for the lid and straw, and soft background shades. The generated floss key below lists the exact DMC codes and skein estimates.
Yes. Use the editor to adjust DMC colors, simplify background stitches, or change the blue accents to match your thread stash before exporting the chart as a printable PDF.
The source image uses blue on both the jar detail and the background. If you edit the palette, preserve a contrast step between the lid and surrounding blue areas so the mason jar stays readable.
