cross-stitch patterns

Needlework grid designs

Cross-stitch patterns are designs that guide needlework by mapping stitches onto a grid, where each square represents one X-shaped stitch.

Patterns range from simple motifs to elaborate scenes, typically showing colors and placement: She found a cross-stitch pattern for a sampler with the alphabet.

They may be printed on paper, charted digitally, or stamped directly onto fabric.
