About this pattern

A sleepy golden star with closed eyes and a gentle smile, made for bedtime. Stitch the bright yellow middle first, then go round the edge in a deeper gold, and finish with the little face.

The star is 24 x 24 stitches: about 2.2 inches across on 11-count Aida, or about 4 inches on 6-count Binca or plastic canvas. Three colors and one big shape, so it's a calm, happy project for a first stitcher.

As with every pattern in my Stitch Together collection, you also get my one-page parent guide, "Stitching with your little one", with my tips on fabric, blunt needles, short threads and celebrating the finish.

It's sweet hung above a bed, cut out of plastic canvas as an ornament, or glued onto a card for a new baby.

You get a full color chart, a black and white symbol chart, a large print version, a Pattern Keeper compatible PDF and a floss key with DMC numbers and skein estimates.

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.
