GOOD TO KNOW
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Framed and hoop photos are digital mockups. Your finished piece will follow the chart exactly.
• Colors may look slightly different on different screens.
• For personal use. Please don't share or resell the pattern file. You're welcome to sell a finished piece you stitched yourself.
• Designed by Skull & Cross Stitch using AI image tools, then redrawn and cleaned up by hand for the stitch grid.
