Transfer the pattern

To keep the lines sharp, take a minute for setup:

1. Print at 100% (no scaling) and choose your hoop size
2. Transfer the lines to fabric using your preferred method
3. Hoop the fabric with even tension
4. Stitch outlines first, then fills/textures, then tiny details
5. Finish the back neatly and display in the hoop or frame

Finishing ideas

• Frame it in the hoop and hang it as easy wall decor
• Keep a few hoops ready and rotate designs seasonally
• Gift it as a handmade keepsake (add initials or a date)
• Stitch it onto a fabric panel for a tote, pillow front, or pouch

About the design

This pattern leans into woodland needlework without feeling rigid. The linework is clear, and your stitch choices can change the whole vibe of the finished hoop.

There’s a mix of repeating elements and small details, so it stays engaging without becoming overwhelming.

Color experiment tip: change just one accent shade first—small tweaks can feel surprisingly fresh.

Make it your own
