Cross stitch is a form of embroidery that uses a simple X-shaped stitch to create designs on fabric. It is typically done on evenweave fabric, such as Aida cloth, which has a grid-like structure that makes it easy to count stitches. This technique allows for the creation of intricate patterns and images, often using colorful threads. The process involves using a needle and thread to stitch over a grid, following a pattern or chart. Cross stitch is popular among crafters for its accessibility and the variety of projects it can produce, from decorative wall hangings to personalized gifts.
