Every design in our half and cross stitch range comes as an all-in-one kit, so there's no second-guessing what you need or making a trip to the craft shop. We've also got step-by-step video tutorials available for every kit, so if you're not sure how a half stitch differs from a full cross, you can watch along in your own time and pause whenever you need.
What Makes Half and Cross Stitch Kits Different
Half stitch pouches are pre-printed and pre-sewn. Cross stitch kits come with pre-cut Aida cloth
Half stitch uses a lightweight yarn, whereas cross stitch kits come with embroidery floss
Cross stitch needles are slightly thinner, but both have a wide eye to easily fit the yarn or thread
Is there anything that's the same in these kits?
All materials are included
Yarn and thread are pre-sorted
Both use an incredibly simple technique
Video guides are easily accessible and available

What is StitchReady™?
Something that makes our half stitch kits quite special is that they're StitchReady™ - meaning that the project is complete once you finish stitching. There is no need to turn the design into a pouch because we've done that for you, and the three-sided zip allows for accessible stitching!
