The trouble with using a cross stitch chart as reference for knitting is that cross stitches are square and knitting stitches are longer than they are wide, so there will be quite a bit of distortion. It wouldn`t matter so much with a purely geometric shape but with a pictorial representation it would show quite a lot. A circle would appear as an (upright) oval, for instance
