Stitching Buddy - Pattern Only

The Stitching Buddy Appreciation Society (est. 2023) is about recognising the love and companionship of our furry friends. The ones who snooze beside us as we stitch, occasionally offering a 'helpful' paw and always contributing a few hairs to our projects!

Inspired by my SBAS needle minder, this design features both canine and feline paw prints, a stylised needle and thread, and a scattering of teeny hearts.

This Hoops & Crosses pattern is suitable for beginners.

Please note: The finished hoop in the photos is for illustrative purposes only, you will receive the pattern in a PDF file format.

Pattern Details:

70 stitches wide x 63 stitches high

Suggested fabric: White 14 count aida, minimum 9” x 8 1/2” (23cm x 22cm).

Stitched area size: 5” (12.7 cm) wide x 4 1/2” (11.4cm) high, perfect for framing in a 6” (15cm) embroidery hoop.

Thread colours: 5

The example was completed using DMC floss, the pattern lists both DMC and, where possible, equivalent Anchor colour codes.


The PDF file of the pattern will be sent to your email address within 24 hours of payment being received. Due to the nature of digital files, no refunds can be given once the pattern is sent.

Fantastic kit- really enjoying stitching it and trying to guess what might be included in the next release. Excellent communication from hoops and crosses - can not recommend them highly enough. This is the third kit I’ve done from them and have never been disappointed.

This kit is amazing, I am stitching it to display in my kitchen because my family are seriously fussy eaters and sometimes I want to say this to them, as soon as it's on the wall I can point at it instead of just telling them!! It's fabulous

I added this to my order, to get me to the free postage limit. I'm so glad I did, dont know how I managed without a needle minder and its such a lovely design. It reminds me of the first design I did from hoops and crosses, "power in your weirdness"
