Cross stitch is a form of embroidery where X-shaped stitches are used to create a picture or design by following a pattern. The basic materials needed include an evenweave fabric, embroidery floss or thread, a cross stitch pattern or graph, a tapestry needle, embroidery hoop, and scissors. The procedure involves finding the center points of the fabric and pattern, using one of two stitching methods, and following the symbols and specifications on the pattern to complete the design which can then be framed and displayed.
