How to use this pattern

  1. Download the PDF and print it in A4 size or view it on your tablet.
  2. Prepare the fabric in the hoop, allow for comfortable margins around the design, and locate the center of the chart.
  3. Start embroidering from the center or from whichever motif you prefer, following the grid: each square represents one full cross stitch.
  4. Change colors according to the key and gradually fill in the color blocks to enjoy relaxing, rhythmic embroidery.
  5. When finished, iron the piece from the reverse side with a cloth over it, then frame it or incorporate it into your textile project.
