About these bugs patterns

Moth cross stitch has become one of the biggest subjects in the craft, and most of it is solemn. These are not. A moth gazing at a lightbulb with total commitment. A bee with its arms folded. A snail in a racing helmet.

Each is a counted cross stitch pattern as an instant PDF download, with a symbol chart that prints in black and white, a floss key naming real DMC shades, and finished sizes for 14, 16 and 18-count aida.

If you want the insect without the joke, the moths here are still anatomically sound — wings spread, markings where they belong. The caption is simply funnier than most.

What you get

  • A counted cross stitch chart with a symbol in every square, so it prints on a black and white printer.
  • A floss key naming real DMC shade numbers, with how many skeins of each to buy.
  • Finished sizes worked out for 14, 16 and 18-count aida.
  • Whole cross stitch only — no backstitch, no fractional stitches, no french knots.
  • A PDF you download the moment you pay. Nothing is posted to you.
