💕 Please note that while the technique of half stitch is perfect for absolute beginners, this particular kit is a little more intricate than our other pouches. If you are doing half stitch for the first time, and want to start somewhere a little simpler and build your confidence, we recommend looking at one of our square half stitch pouches!

Needlecraft is a broad term for textile crafts that are handmade using a needle and thread, or yarn. Centuries-old techniques including embroidery, knitting, crocheting, cross-stitch, needlepoint, and quilting fall into this category.
What is half stitch?
Half stitch is a simple diagonal stitch that makes up just one leg of a full "X" in cross stitch and tapestry. It's super easy to learn and the perfect gateway into needlecraft.
What is a StitchReady™ kit?
StitchReady™ is Craft Club's original finish-it-yourself needlepoint kit — the first of its kind to bring stitching and finishing into one beginner-friendly experience.
Built around a pre-assembled construction with a three-sided zipper, each kit lets you stitch the front panel and then close it into a real, finished object with no sewing machine, no finishing service, and no prior experience required. It's needlepoint redesigned to be lived with, not stored away.
What is the benefit of crafting?
Over 70% of Craft Club customers say crafting benefits them as a way to relax and to have a creative outlet. There is a deep wellness theme across responses, as customers have used craft to manage anxiety, ADHD, and stress.
Is there another name for half stitch?
Yes, half stitch is also referred to as tent stitch, half throw and half cross stitch. We refer to it as half stitch because the impression is as clear as the technique.
Are there guides included?
Yes, video and written guides are included in our kits. We want to make crafting as enjoyable as possible, so there's no way we'll leave you hanging!
Is half stitch the same as needlepoint?
No, half stitch is not the same as needlepoint. While needlepoint is a category of craft, half stitch is a technique. We have named it as a category so that our customers know exactly what to expect.
Is half stitch hard?
Absolutely not! Half stitch is an incredibly simple technique that is perfect for beginners looking for a new hobby and seasoned crafters looking for a relaxing project.
Can I complete this kit screen-free?
Absolutely! Our half stitch kits not only have the pattern printed on the pouch, but a paper pattern is included to refer to. While we do have handy video tutorials and guides, it's totally up to you whether you utilise them or just refer to the written instructions.
Are needle threaders necessary?
Needle threaders are not strictly necessary for half stitch, but are incredibly useful. Yarn used for half stitch is thicker than embroidery floss and tougher to thread only with your fingers. Needle threaders significantly reduce this difficulty and get you working on your project faster!

This kit was my second kit. I love the pouch! This time the half stitching went really fast. The kit comes with everything you need. It helped with my relaxation and destressing after work!! So glad I found the Craft Club!!
Absolutely love this kit! The tutorial videos are so helpful and thorough. They give you more than enough threads and such a gorgeous assortment of colors. Truly the highest quality kits I’ve ever ordered! I’m a huge fan of craft club!
This was a delight to put together and it turned out really cute and functional (I use it to hold my crochet stuff)! The instructions were easy to follow and I had more than enough thread to complete this.
This highland cow pouch is absolutely adorable. So relaxing and the kit comes with all the supplies you need. This is my first time doing needlepoint and definitely not my last.
This kit was nothing short of amazing! I eas a first time buyer of Craft Club---and I LOVE IT!!
Everything came included in the kit: a needle, a needle threader and printed canvas, along with instructions complete in color so there was no guessing which threads to use in which sections...especially helpful since there were three shades of green in this project.
Now I have the very hard decision because I was making this as a gift but I love it so much I might need to make one for myself too LOL
Can't wait to order "Love Letters" in my next order❤️❤️❤️

Super cute highland cow half stitch project! It took me several days to complete it, but it was worth the time. It came with all the yarn required and instructions were simple.
The kit is so well made! The edge of the Aida is finished so all you have to do is half stitch the image
Also so hyped for the powerpuff girls collab, had to get both villains of course
loving the new pouch design (with no excess canvas to tuck on the back) and the powerpuff girls collab having the cute little flower zip pull! Mojo Jojo having the black outline was a great starting point too, making other colours even more simple to fill (without having to pay too much attention to pattern).
Very happy with my pouch! The kit comes with the pattern pre-printed on the cloth so it was very easy to work on this kit and watch a show in the background.
I'm not quite finished yet, but I LOVE how it's turning out so far! This kit is incredibly easy and yet satisfying. I have had many hours of enjoyment from it, and I can't wait to start my next one! The tutorials on the Craft Club app are super helpful, too!
the nostalgia of this collab 🤩 and needlepoint is truly such an addicting craft. i just started the kit a little over a week ago and i’m almost finished
I’m not sure I put this kit down to do anything other than eat and sleep from the time I opened it to the time I was done! I was singularly impressed with how well the kit was over-provisioned - I have enough yarn left that I could probably make the pattern all over again with a piece of scrap canvas. I did substitute some colors from my personal stash, but that was simply to customize the palette to my personal liking, and the finished project looks terrific with the changes. I will absolutely order from here again.
Bought some kits for my friends and I to start and they were very fun!! I really like the needlepoint pouches, I find myself taking some time every day to complete more of the pouch. Definitely would get more pouches!
The video tutorial made my first needlepoint attempt very approachable. Thoroughly enjoyed the project! Appreciate this kit for finally getting me to dive into needlepoint.
Nearly finished and loving it! Such a fun, bright design and so calming to sew up. I bought one for a friend too because she was admiring mine when I took it to my kids' swimming lessons. These kits are the best adult fidget there is!
Absolutely love the half stitch kits! So calming, fun and easy. They come everywhere with me - the kids' swimming lessons, anywhere I have to wait around, and of course on the couch in front of the TV. The garden design is so cute and the greens are lovely!
Still a work in progress but I love that it comes with a mindfulness tracker! I work on this project every day bc its so fun! Love it, and good quality velvet backing to the pouch!
Absolutely loved this pouch, isn’t quite done yet but everything is working amazing so far. I started it when I went to visit highland cows!!! (So very fitting). I love the portable size of it and have been keeping it in my handbag to stitch while I’m out and about!
I loved this kit as much as every other Craft Club half stitch pouch I’ve worked on so far. Can’t wait to see what other fun collabs are underway in the future!
I love the kits! Ready to go, all the materials are provided! Kits are fun and relaxing to use. I take them with me everywhere and stitch them at lunch or anytime I have a break or extra time! Can’t wait to pick out my next one!
