About this pattern

Each PDF includes stitch counts and a full color key so you can kit it quickly. Check the stitch size against your fabric count to estimate finished dimensions, and keep a few extra skeins on hand if you plan to backstitch or outline.

Quick finishing tips

• Use shorter floss lengths to avoid tangles and keep coverage even.
• Secure thread ends under nearby stitches instead of bulky knots.
• Gently wash and press face-down on a towel before framing.

Stitch planning checklist

• Measure your fabric against the stitch count to confirm finished size.
• Sort floss by symbol before you start; pre-thread a few needles for speed.
• Work in small blocks to keep counting accurate and spot mistakes early.
• Backstitch at the end of each session so outlines stay crisp.
