This cross-stitch PDF set turns the moody corners of a gothic novel into slim bookmarks worked entirely in black. Ravens, crescent moons, castles and a dragon share space with skulls, lanterns and roses, and each little scene tells its own shadowy story.
With only one thread on the needle, there's nothing to swap, so the stitching stays calm and unhurried. When one's finished, slip it into the dark academia read on your nightstand and let it peek out between chapters.

Good to know
You are buying a PDF chart, not a finished piece and not a kit. No fabric, floss or hoop is included. Colors on a screen can look different from real DMC floss. The preview shows how the finished piece could look. Your result depends on fabric count and floss. Files are in English. You need a PDF reader to open the charts. Free ones work fine.
Returns
Because this is an instant download, all sales are final. No refunds, returns or exchanges once the files are available. If a file will not open, the download stops halfway, or you got the wrong item, message me and I will fix it.
- Print it. Hoop it. Stitch it loud.
