Getting Started

Once you have chosen a pattern, you will need to gather the following materials:

Cross stitch fabric (14-count Aida is a good choice for beginners)
DMC embroidery floss in the colors called for in the pattern
Cross stitch needle
Scissors

To begin stitching, follow these steps:

Start by centering the pattern on the fabric. Use a light-colored pencil to trace the design onto the fabric.
Thread the needle with two strands of floss. Bring the needle up from the back of the fabric at the bottom left corner of the design.
Make a cross stitch by bringing the needle down diagonally to the top right corner of the square. Then, bring the needle back up diagonally to the bottom left corner of the square.
Continue stitching in this manner, following the pattern until the design is complete.
When you are finished stitching, trim the excess floss and knot the ends to secure them.

Finishing Your Bookmark

Once you have finished stitching your bookmark, you will need to finish it by adding a tassel or ribbon. To add a tassel, cut a length of yarn or thread about 6 inches long. Fold the yarn or thread in half and make a loop. Thread the loop onto the bottom of the bookmark and pull the ends of the yarn or thread through the loop. Trim the ends of the yarn or thread to create the tassel.

To add a ribbon, cut a length of ribbon about 12 inches long. Fold the ribbon in half and make a loop. Thread the loop onto the bottom of the bookmark and tie the ends of the ribbon together. Trim the ends of the ribbon to create the desired length.

Tips for Success

Use high-quality materials. This will help to ensure that your bookmark lasts for years to come.
Follow the pattern carefully. If you make a mistake, it will be difficult to fix it later.
Take your time. Cross stitch is a relaxing hobby, so don't rush through it. Enjoy the process and the finished product.
