A knitted stitch is wider than it is tall — roughly 5 stitches to 7 rows per inch in stockinette. So a cell on knitting graph paper should be about 5:7, not square.
This matters more than it sounds. Chart a circle on square graph paper, knit it, and what comes off the needles is an oval at about 70% height. Lettering compresses. Anything with a shape you'd recognize — a heart, a snowflake, a fair isle motif — comes out wrong, and it isn't fixable after the fact.
The cells here are proportional, with a heavier line every ten to count against. Set the stitch width and the row height follows. If your own gauge sits a long way from 5:7, swatch first and adjust the spacing until one cell matches one real stitch.
Knitted stitches are wider than they are tall, roughly 5:7. Chart on square paper and your design knits up squashed.
It uses 5:7, a decent approximation for stockinette. Knit a swatch and check — if you're far off, the chart will still drift.
No. Cross stitch is square. Using square paper for knitting is the mistake this page exists to fix.
