25 count cross stitch paper
25 count evenweave is worked over two threads, so this is 12.5 stitches to the inch — squares of 2.03 mm, printed at true size.
25 count evenweave is worked over two threads, which puts 12.5 stitches in an inch and makes every square on this page 2.03 mm across. Print it at 100% and you can lay the sheet against the cloth: a design 100 stitches wide finishes 8.00 inches (203 mm) wide at this count.
Worked over two threads, 25 count evenweave — Lugana and Dublin are the usual names — gives 12.5 stitches per inch. It is the one common count with no Aida equivalent at all, sitting between 11 and 14, and stitches very slightly larger than a 14 count stitch.
The grid below is the generator from the main cross stitch paper page, opened at 25 count. Heavy lines fall every ten stitches, the edges are numbered and the centre is arrowed on all four sides. Change the paper size, the colour or the design size and it redraws; nothing you set leaves your browser.

Questions
Is there an Aida equivalent to 25 count?
No. Over two threads it works out at 12.5 stitches per inch, and Aida is not sold in half counts. It is the closest thing to 14 count that is not 14 count, which is worth knowing before you assume a chart's finished size.
How big will my design be on 25 count?
Divide the stitch count by 12.5. A design 100 stitches wide finishes 8.00 inches (203 mm) wide, and 200 stitches finishes twice that. Set the stitch counts in the panel and the sheet prints the finished measurement for you, in both millimetres and inches, so you can work out how much fabric to buy before you cut anything.
Will it print at the true size?
Yes, at 100% scale. The grid is drawn in millimetres at 25.4 divided by 12.5 stitches per inch, which is 2.03 mm a square, and the page size is declared to the printer. Print the calibration page once to confirm your printer is not quietly shrinking to fit.
