Why decorative cross stitch art kit make a good gift

  • Cross stitch uses a single stitch, so the technique stays simple even when the design looks detailed.
  • Kits come in many themes, from holiday scenes to pets and landscapes, to suit almost any interest.
  • The finished piece frames nicely as wall art or can become a card, ornament or pillow front.

What to look for

  • Choose a lower fabric count, such as 11 or 14, for larger stitches that are easier for beginners.
  • Check whether the design is printed on the fabric or counted from a separate chart.
  • Check the finished size and whether a hoop or frame is included or has to be bought separately.
