Over Two Cross Stitch Fabric Calculator
This page is only for stitching over two on evenweave and linen. On evenweave and linen each cross usually covers two threads in each direction, which halves the stitches per inch, so 28 count over two works up the same size as 14 count Aida. For any fabric, including Aida over one, use the fabric to cut calculator. For finished size with no margin, use the finished design size calculator.

When to stitch over one
Stitching over one on 28 count gives 28 stitches per inch, half the size. It is used for fine detail and miniatures but needs good light and usually a single strand. Count the threads on your fabric if you aren't sure of the count: lay a ruler on it and count threads in one inch.
