Why pixel art works so well as cross stitch
Pixel art is already a grid: one pixel of the artwork becomes one stitch, so the chart keeps the look of the original. Small sprites need few colors and a small piece of fabric.
In these PDFs, every square with a symbol is one stitch and the legend pairs it with a DMC thread. Blank squares are background and stay unstitched.
