A counted project
Follow the chart and count the fabric squares to build the design. This is a kit to stitch yourself, rather than a finished picture.
DMC | Counted cross stitch
An iconic portrait for your next chapter.
Stitch a detail of Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring as an elegant bookmark. Black Aida gives the portrait a rich backdrop, while the included backing cards help turn your counted stitches into a finished reading companion.

Make a confident start
- Read the full chart and instructions before starting. Sort the threads using the kit colour key.
- Find the fabric centre and begin where the chart directs. Keep the top stitches facing the same way.
- Finish according to the kit instructions. Check the fabric and thread care guidance before washing or pressing.
This is the bookmark kit, not the larger framed-picture version. Backing cards are included; scissors are sold separately.
Useful to know
Is the design printed on the fabric?
This is counted cross stitch: use the chart to place your stitches on the Aida fabric.
What else will I need?
Have a small pair of embroidery scissors ready. A suitable embroidery hoop can help keep the fabric tension even.
