The Mykonos Meadow BitKit cross stitch folk embroidery kit is inspired by stylized floral and leaf motifs from Greek island folk embroideries, stitched in a cheerful palette of coral, leaf green, antique blue, and soft yellow on crisp white evenweave. I like to think of these kits as a "little bit of stitching" that introduces you to the folk embroidery tradition without a big time commitment, and this cheerful little square is a lovely place to start. I have mine sitting on my desk with a little plant and I love its vibrant energy.

What you'll make: An 8 x 8" decorative table square

What's in your kit:

  • One piece of 25ct 100% cotton evenweave in Mediterranean Jasmine
  • DMC 6-strand embroidery floss
  • John James size 24 cross stitch needle
  • Full color chart and instructions

Stitches used: Cross stitch Skill level: Beginner Stitch count: 3,196 cross stitches (94 x 94 stitch area)

Please note: the fringe finishing shown in the photos has to be done after the design is stitched; the fabric in your kit will come with the raw edges serged so they don't unravel while you are stitching.

Historically-inspired, modern-made!

Avlea Folk Embroidery brings ancient beauty to the modern world with beautiful folk embroidery kits of the finest quality. I design and make each kit by hand in my Central Oregon studio, to give you a wonderful stitching experience no matter your skill level.

Why is folk fabric so special?

Folk fabrics have been used for hundreds of years to make folk costumes and household embroideries. When you work a cross stitch design on them, they give your stitching a beautiful texture and are a delight to stitch on, plus they're made to stand up to daily use. I source mine from a 3rd-generation family mill in Athens, Greece so you can have an authentic stitching experience.

What if I'm new to cross stitch?

One of the wonderful things about cross stitch folk embroidery is that you can learn how to do it in a couple of hours and enjoy it for a lifetime! If you're new, watch my How To Cross Stitch video to get started on your folk embroidery journey.
