Anatomical Heart Cross Stitch Pattern PDF - a floral anatomical heart in coral, raspberry and violet, charted for beginners: 9 DMC colours, no backstitch.

A deep coral and orange heart with navy-teal vessels, opening into raspberry and dusty-rose blooms, small violet flowers and curling grape-dark tendrils. Bold outlines and flat, saturated colour give it a traditional tattoo-flash look - anatomy drawn as decoration rather than as a diagram.

It is warm and bright rather than black-and-grey, but the darks do the work: the aorta and the great vessels are DMC 939 Navy Blue Very Dark and 930 Antique Blue Dark, and the tendrils and small blossoms run through 3834 Grape Dark, 917 Plum Medium and 327 Violet.

Four of the nine colours are deep jewel tones, which is what keeps a heart-and-flowers subject on the gothic, dark-romantic side of pretty.

It is worked in full cross stitches only. No backstitch, no fractional stitches, no French knots - just counted squares. That is what makes a 9-colour chart like this one a genuinely comfortable first "real" project, and a fast, relaxing one if you have been stitching for years.

Personal use

This pattern is for personal use. You can stitch it for yourself and stitch it as a gift. Please do not resell, share, copy or redistribute the files, sell the chart as your own, or use it for mass production. The design and the chart stay the property of Stitch Jam Studio.

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.
