Reading Girl Bookmark Cross Stitch Pattern PDF – Floral Book Lover Design

Stitch a floral bookmark featuring a girl reading a book. This counted cross stitch pattern lets you create a handmade bookmark for your own reading collection or as a gift for a book lover.

Basic counted cross stitch skills are recommended: reading a symbol chart, following a DMC color key and working full cross stitches. The PDF pattern provides the bookmark chart, design size and a key for 15 DMC colors. Difficulty: beginner to intermediate.

The stitched design measures 48 × 147 stitches. On 14-count Aida, the stitched area is approximately 8.71 × 26.67 cm (3.43 × 10.50 in). Allow extra fabric around the design to finish the bookmark; its final size will depend on the edging method.

Materials needed:

White 14-count Aida fabric, cut larger than the stitched area to allow for finishing
DMC embroidery floss in the 15 colors listed in the pattern
Tapestry needle suitable for 14-count Aida
Embroidery scissors
Fabric or felt for the bookmark backing
Sewing needle and thread to attach the backing
Embroidery hoop or frame, if preferred while stitching
