How it begins
How a cross-stitch picture comes together
-
01
It starts with one cross.
Bring your needle up at the bottom left and down at the top right. Then cross back the other way. That's a cross stitch.
-
02
Then another, row by row.
Each square on a chart is one cross on your fabric. Follow it a square at a time and the picture builds itself.
-
03
Until something lovely appears.
Small stitches add up. Take your time. There's no rush to finish, only the next stitch.
Small stitches. Lovely beginnings. You can start small.
Our promise
Made for your very first hoop.
Everything we make is designed around one idea: beginning should feel good. Here is what that means for every pattern we share.
Clear from the first stitch
Color and black-and-white charts, a matching thread key and plain-language help, so you always know your next step.
Progress at your pace
Start small, learn as you go and enjoy every cross along the way. Nobody is timing you.
Try it here
Make your first cross.
Click a square on the fabric. Your needle comes up at the bottom left, crosses to the top right, then lays the second slant on top. Drag to stitch a row, or click a cross again to unpick it.
