Within 24–48 hours you'll receive the complete package as a digital download in your email:

What do you get?

  • PDF pattern with color symbols — clear grid with a unique symbol for each yarn color, tailored to your photo
  • PNG example of the final result — so you know beforehand what the finished piece will look like
  • DMC yarn list — all required colors with the number of skeins you need
  • Dutch step-by-step guide — from first stitch to finishing
  • Files arrive as a download in your inbox, ready to print at home or at a print shop

Tips for the best photo

  • Use daylight or good lighting
  • Ensure a simple, uncluttered background
  • Main subject clear and large in frame
  • High resolution (at least 1500x1500 px) gives the best result
  • Avoid overly dark or overexposed photos
  • A sharp close-up photo works better than a large landscape shot
