What is counted needlepoint?

Answer 1

Counted needlepoint, like counted cross stitch, is done using a chart that shows every stitch you will be making, and each stitch corresponds to a thread on the canvas.

You count the number of threads across or down the canvas, and you place the stitches on the threads according to the chart.
