About this pattern

This little frog has decided the teacup is the coziest place in the house, and honestly, I can't blame him. He's peeking over the rim with rosy cheeks and a big smile, and the cup has little pink hearts on it.

It's a small, beginner-friendly pattern with just 8 DMC colors and simple shapes. The frog uses three soft greens, and the cup is stitched in pale and dusty blues, so the whole thing feels gentle and calm.

At 50 x 50 stitches it finishes at about 3.6 inches square on 14 count Aida. It fits a 4 or 5 inch hoop and works up quickly, perfect for a weekend or a few cozy evenings.

It makes a lovely gift for a tea lover or a frog fan, a cute piece for a kitchen shelf, or a happy first project if you're just starting out. I like it on antique white or cream fabric.

Questions

How do I get my pattern?

Right after checkout you land on your order page with download links for every file, plus a "download all" zip. Links work for 7 days, and you can reopen your order page anytime to get fresh links.

Is this a physical kit?

No. This is a digital PDF download. No fabric, thread or hoop is included and nothing is shipped. The floss key lists every DMC color you need.

How do I print it?

Print at 100% scale (or "actual size") on US Letter or A4 paper. The black & white chart saves ink and is easy to read. You can also stitch straight from a tablet.

Does it work with Pattern Keeper?

Yes. A Pattern Keeper friendly PDF is included, so you can import it and mark stitches off as you go. Backstitch (if any) is listed separately, because Pattern Keeper only tracks full crosses.

What is the free bonus pack?

Every order comes with a little thank-you: my one-page beginner cheat sheet and 3 bonus mini patterns (a star ornament, a tiny tree and a little mushroom). They appear on your order page next to your patterns.

Is there a discount if I buy several patterns?

Yes. Buy any 3 or more individual patterns or sets and each one is 25% off, applied automatically in your cart. Bundles already have their own price. During a shop-wide sale you always get the single best discount (they don't stack).

What if something is wrong with my file?

If a file has a problem, we'll fix it or refund you. Just send Sara a message. See the refund policy for details.
