Raven Cross Stitch Patterns

About these ravens patterns

A raven on black aida is a trick worth knowing: the bird is charted in deep indigo and slate with a pale rim light, so it sits in front of the cloth instead of vanishing into it. The result reads as a raven at night, which is the only way anyone wants to see one.

A raven perched on a skull, a crow carrying a key, two ravens mirrored around a moon, a corvid in a gothic arch, a raven with a rose in its beak, a crow on a weathervane. Drawn as folk woodcuts with antique gold details, so they belong on a mantel rather than a Halloween shelf.

Whole cross stitch only, no backstitch and no fractional stitches. A symbol is printed in every square, and the floss key names each DMC shade with how many skeins to buy.

What you get

• A counted cross stitch chart with a symbol in every square, so it prints on a black and white printer.

• 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.

Questions about ravens patterns

Are these ravens cross stitch patterns suitable for a beginner?

Yes. Every chart in this collection is whole cross stitch only — no backstitch, no quarter or three-quarter stitches and no french knots. If you can sew one X over one square of aida you can finish any of them. Every chart is 130 stitches square, finishing at about 9¼ inches on 14-count aida; what varies between them is the number of floss colours.

What is included in the ravens pattern download?

A PDF the moment you pay: the colour chart, the same chart again in black and white symbols so it prints legibly on any printer, a floss key naming real DMC shade numbers with how many skeins to buy, and the finished size worked out for 14, 16 and 18-count aida.

Do you post anything, or is it digital only?

Digital only. No fabric, floss or hoop is included and nothing is shipped. The download link does not expire, so the file stays available whenever you want it again.

Can I stitch these ravens patterns to sell?

Yes. You can sell the finished pieces you stitch yourself. What you cannot do is resell, share or redistribute the PDF or the chart itself.
