- Full cross stitches – the foundation of the design, worked in a consistent X formation across the fabric grid
- Symbol-based chart reading – the PDF uses a clearly coded symbol legend, with each unique symbol representing a different DMC thread color, making it straightforward to follow even for beginners
Stitches Used
- Cross stitch – the sole stitch type indicated in the pattern chart, making this an accessible, single-technique project well suited to beginners building their foundational skills
