Pattern description

Two adorable smiling beetles face each other across a gentle coral-and-white border in this 49x49 stitch counted cross-stitch pattern. The left bug glows in warm orange-red tones with bright yellow accents, while its companion on the right mirrors the design in cool sky blue and yellow, creating a cheerful dialogue between warmth and coolness. At just nine DMC thread colors, this beginner-friendly piece combines simple stitching with a charming subject perfect for Valentine's Day cards, nursery décor, or gifts celebrating friendship and connection.

Stitch planning checklist

  • Measure your fabric against the stitch count to confirm finished size.
  • Sort floss by symbol before you start; pre-thread a few needles for speed.
  • Work in small blocks to keep counting accurate and spot mistakes early.
  • Backstitch at the end of each session so outlines stay crisp.
