Cross Stitch Kits for Children and Beginners

The best first cross stitch is a kit with few colours and large holes: Hello starter kits pack Aida, thread, needle and an easy chart with big symbols and small motifs. Several designs are listed here. All starter kits are in For Beginners and Children, Hobianna's own kits in Hobianna Cross Stitch Kits, all kits in Cross Stitch Kits.

Your First Cross Stitch

Find the centre of the Aida and start from the centre symbol of the chart; make every cross with the bottom leg first and the top leg in the same direction. Use 2–3 strands of the kit thread; the blunt needle cannot pierce the fabric. Kits on 6–8 ct suit ages 6–8, 11 ct ages 8+, 14 ct adult beginners. A starter kit finishes in 2–5 hours and can stay in the hoop as a wall piece.

What age is it for?

6+ with help, 9+ alone; adult beginners too.
