I managed to simplify this cross stitch pattern to 25 colors without losing the variety and the lightness of the impression. The pattern has a size of 287 x 187 stitches. Depending on the fabric type, this corresponds to a size of 14.4 inch x 9.4 inch or 36.4 cm x 23.7 cm (AIDA 20ct) to 23.9 inch x 15.6 inch or 60.7 cm x 39.6 cm (AIDA 12ct) Art Inspirate on Etsy has another great design with three mushrooms of different sizes and a bit of grass. It is 51 by 54 stitches and uses nine colors. It comes out to 3.64 by 3.86 inches on 14 count fabric and is all whole cross stitches, so it’s a nice one for new stitchers looking to increase their skills. When I start a new mushroom cross stitch project, I carefully select the perfect fabric and vibrant embroidery floss to bring the design to life. Each stitch is like a tiny brushstroke, building the image one pixel at a time. As I work on my project, I find a sense of tranquility and mindfulness, losing myself in the rhythm of the needle and the beauty of the emerging mushroom artwork. Sharing the Mushroom Love

To be honest I think about mushrooms a lot because my daughter loves them and they are fun to craft in all sorts of genres. (I made a crocheted mushroom earlier this summer, and have collected mushroom knitting patterns, too.) Once your fabric is ready, you can prepare the first color of floss that you’ll be using. Most embroidery thread is made of six strands, but most patterns suggest using only one or two strands at a time. Pull out one or two strands (as specified by your pattern) and cut a section about 18″ long. Cross stitch is a fun way to create nearly any design or picture. Cross-stitch art is often seen hanging on a wall or in a picture frame. But framed pictures aren’t the only way to display your beautiful designs! You can also stitch your pattern onto a bag or pillow, make it into a bookmark, patch, or keychain, stitch directly onto clothes, tablecloths, quilts, and so much more! Everyone who likes to collect mushrooms and eat them will be happy about these delicious motifs. Size information I love a good sampler pattern, and this time of year it’s fun to stitch up sampler style patterns related to Christmas. Some of these Christmas sampler cross stitch patterns can work like an advent calendar, stitching a little bit each day in the runup to Christmas, or you can stitch it faster to make it part of your decor this holiday season.

Orient your pattern so that it’s facing the same direction as your fabric. In most cases, it’s best to start in the middle of your chart (unless otherwise specified). If it’s not easy to find the middle, you can use a pencil and a ruler to help you find the center stitch. Aida fabric– White, 14-count Aida fabric is the most common. Larger fabric, such as 6-count, is great for beginners, while smaller fabric (18-count and higher) is for very experienced crafters.
