Tip: stitch the darkest outline color first, then fill the lighter colors. Use 2 strands over 1 Aida square for full coverage. DMC color matches are the nearest floss to each sprite color — swap in a shade you prefer.

How to make your Hitmonlee cross-stitch

  1. Find the center of your Aida and the center of the chart, and start there so the design stays centered.
  2. Work one color at a time, following the symbol chart — each square is one full cross-stitch.
  3. Use 2 strands of floss over 1 Aida square for solid coverage; match each symbol to its DMC code in the legend.
  4. Stitch the darkest color last if you want to add a backstitch outline — it makes the sprite pop.
  5. Mount the finished piece in the hoop, trim, and it’s ready to hang.

Cross-stitch FAQ

What does “14-count Aida” mean?

It’s 14 squares (stitches) per inch. Higher count = smaller finished piece and finer detail; 14-count is the most beginner-friendly. The finished-size table on this page shows the size at 14, 16, and 18 count.

How much floss do I need?

A single skein of each color is almost always plenty for one sprite — most use only a few feet per color. The legend lists every DMC color and its stitch count.

Do I have to backstitch the outline?

No. The pattern reads fine as plain cross-stitch. A backstitch outline in the darkest color is optional and just sharpens the edges.
