Please note, this listing is for a pattern to allow you to create your own cross stitch.

It is NOT a finished item! You will receive digital (PDF) files, not a physical item.

Once you check out, you will receive a confirmation email detailing your order. Within 24hrs I will send you a second email containing your files.

Unfortunately, the UK government has made it very difficult (and expensive!) for small businesses like myself to automate this process, so for the forseeable future it all has to be done manually.

If you would prefer an instant download (i.e. being redirected to a link immediately after checkout), please visit our Etsy store!
Absolutely!

Most of our files contain 3 versions of the pattern per file which does confuse Pattern Keeper inot thinking the pattern is 3 times longer than it actually is. The app will still work, but it's not ideal, and you'll have 3 times the amount of stitching to do!

Because of this, we've included a PK-friendly file as well.

Pattern Keeper does not currently support backstitching, fractional stitches, or French knots. To view these in the app you'll need to choose 'View PDF'.
Don't panic! If you're buying a pattern, you won't be charged for shipping, but you will need to select a shipping option at checkout. It doesn't matter which one you choose, the charges won't apply to digital files.

The 'estimated delivery times' associated with the different shipping options don't apply to digital files either; once you've checked out, your files will be delivered in an email within 1 working day.
