Pattern description
A single-color counted cross-stitch project featuring a classic pair of open scissors rendered in bold navy thread. This 21 × 21 stitch composition captures the iconic silhouette with clean, geometric lines against a light background. The monochromatic palette and compact size make this an ideal beginner-friendly needlework piece that stitches up quickly without the complexity of multi-color coordination.
Perfect for crafters just starting their embroidery journey, this scissors motif uses only one DMC thread color, eliminating color changes and reducing preparation time. The straightforward stitch count makes it manageable for small hoops or as a sampler addition. Consider framing it for a sewing room, gifting it to a seamstress or tailor, or stitching it onto a pincushion cover. On 14-count Aida fabric, the finished piece measures approximately 1.5 inches square, making it versatile for wall art, small gift projects, or as part of a needlework collection celebrating traditional crafts.
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.
