Forget-Me-Not K-143A Counted Cross-Stitch Kit

Stitch Forget-Me-Not with this Merejka counted cross-stitch kit — a girl with a crown of tiny blue blossoms in her braided hair sits beside a basket brimming with forget-me-nots, rendered in soft blues and warm skin tones against a natural linen-toned background. Worked on Zweigart 16-count Rustico Aida fabric, the portrait is stitched in premium DMC threads across 28 rich shades.

Why this kit: two chart versions — with and without backstitches — let stitchers choose their preferred level of facial and floral detail; 28 DMC shades capture the delicate blue of the forget-me-nots against the muted fabric tone; the figurative composition pairs well with Merejka's other Rustico-series portrait designs for a themed display.

Kit includes: Zweigart canvas, DMC threads, John James needles, and a color chart.

Counted cross-stitch is worked by following the color chart and placing each stitch on the gridded Aida fabric with the indicated DMC thread shade. The backstitch chart defines facial features, braids, and the basket's woven texture, while the no-backstitch version keeps a softer finish; work section by section until the design is complete, then frame as a charming keepsake portrait.

Finished size: 23x27 cm (9.06x10.63 in). An elegant project for home display and a thoughtful handmade gift for flower lovers and needlework enthusiasts who enjoy figurative, storybook-style designs.
