A cuddly teddy bear holding an oversized red heart makes this intermediate cross-stitch project perfect for Valentine's Day needlework.

The design works wonderfully on 14-count Aida fabric and includes a free printable PDF chart for easy reference.

The soft color palette and centered composition make it equally suitable for nurseries, bedrooms, or any space celebrating companionship and warmth.
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.
