Letters and shapes in a grid standing for thread colours.
Also known as: Counted cross stitch chart, Thread symbol key
A cross stitch chart uses one symbol per thread colour on a grid of squares, with a key giving the manufacturer's thread numbers. The symbols are arbitrary, so a chart cannot be worked without its key — unlike a knitting chart, whose symbols carry meaning.
Assign one symbol per thread colour on a grid, each square standing for one stitch.
Contexts: Laundry
Use arbitrary symbols keyed to specific manufacturers' thread numbers, so a chart is unusable without its key and its colours are not portable between brands.
