What Is Being Made

The finished design is a cross stitch embroidery piece measuring 6.29 inches wide by 3.57 inches tall (88 x 50 stitches). The compact stitch count makes this a quick and satisfying project that can be framed, mounted in an embroidery hoop, or used as the basis for a card insert, patch, or small home décor item. The design is themed around the BTS Dynamite aesthetic and is intended for personal use only, as noted by HugSandwich.

Techniques Used

• Cross stitch — the primary and foundational technique throughout the entire design, worked by forming X-shaped stitches over the grid of the Aida fabric
• Counted cross stitch — stitchers follow a printed symbol chart, counting squares on the fabric to place each stitch accurately in the correct position
• Color placement from a symbol key — multiple distinct symbols appear throughout the chart (such as Ÿ, ¸, ê, B, ', ), J, G, m, I, 7, 2, ÷, §, Ï, x, 6, „ and others), each representing a different thread color, requiring careful reading of the legend to match symbols to the correct floss shades

Stitches Used

• Full cross stitch — the core stitch of the design, used to fill in all colored areas of the pattern across the 88 x 50 stitch grid

Cross stitch is one of the most accessible and beginner-friendly forms of hand embroidery. Each stitch is formed by making two diagonal stitches that cross at the center of a fabric square, creating a neat X. Because the Aida fabric provides a clearly visible woven grid, stitchers simply count squares and follow the chart symbol by symbol — no freehand drawing or transferring of designs is required. This makes counted cross stitch particularly well-suited to beginners and those who enjoy methodical, meditative needlework.

Difficulty Level

This pattern is rated beginner level. The relatively small stitch count of 88 x 50 stitches keeps the project manageable, and the use of full cross stitches throughout means there are no complex specialty stitches to master. It is a great starting point for new stitchers or a relaxing quick-finish project for more experienced embroiderers.

Materials

• Fabric: 14 Count Aida — the pattern is specifically designed for 14 count Aida cloth, which is the most widely available and beginner-friendly Aida weight, offering 14 stitching squares per inch
• Thread: Embroidery floss — multiple colors are required, as indicated by the variety of symbols throughout the chart; stitchers should refer to the color key included in the PDF to identify the specific thread shades needed
• Needle: A blunt-tipped tapestry needle sized for 14 count Aida (typically a size 24 or 26 tapestry needle) is recommended for cross stitch on this fabric weight
• Embroidery hoop: An optional but recommended tool to keep the Aida fabric taut and even while stitching
