Perfect for

Skill level: easy

Comfortable for an advancing beginner. The shaping asks for a little attention, but the chart stays clear and easy to recover from if you lose your place.

Yarn and hook

Size 10 cotton thread on a steel hook makes a fine scissors panel; switch to DK or worsted cotton with a 3.5–4 mm hook and it grows into a soft, blanket-weight piece. A solid, light colour shows the mesh best; high-contrast yarns make the design pop in photos and in the finished fabric.

Project ideas

Reach for the scissors when you want a thank-you make. It looks at home on a homey gift square and a tea towel alike. Crop or enlarge it in the editor so it fits your project exactly.

Who it's for

Stitched for a new homeowner, the scissors suits a thank-you gift beautifully. Frame it with a border to give a plain gift a finished, considered look.

Size, printing, and scaling

Expect roughly 6.5 by 6.3 inches at 4 mesh per inch. Drop to fine thread for a smaller piece, or move to worsted to scale it right up. Send the chart straight to print for a clean numbered grid, or resize and re-crop it in the editor first and export a PDF, PNG, or CSV.
