If the kitchen’s your domain and you’ve got a dark sense of humor, this pattern’s got your back. That moody apothecary bottle-deep green cap, oxblood glass, and chili flakes suspended inside-says it all on a cream label in bold block letters: BITCH I’M THE SECRET INGREDIENT. Heavy black outlines and flat, chunky color blocks give this cross-stitch PDF a gothic punch that’s right at home above the stove or on a gallery wall.
Pattern details
Snarky cross stitch pattern PDF for anyone who runs the kitchen. This gothic little spice bottle says what you're thinking: BITCH I'M THE SECRET INGREDIENT. Instant download, beginner friendly. A dark apothecary-style bottle with a deep green cap, oxblood glass and bright red chilli flakes suspended inside, wrapped in a cream label with the punchline in bold block letters. Heavy black outlines and flat, blocky colour blocks give it a moody, dark-humour look that sits just as well above a stove as it does on a gallery wall.
- Stitch count: 49 x 90 = 3,676 stitches
- 14 ct Aida: 3.50 x 6.43 in / 8.9 x 16.3 cm
- 16 ct Aida: 3.06 x 5.63 in / 7.8 x 14.3 cm
- 18 ct Aida: 2.72 x 5.00 in / 6.9 x 12.7 cm
- 28 ct evenweave: 3.50 x 6.43 in / 8.9 x 16.3 cm
- 7 DMC colours, 2 strands
- Partial coverage (approx. 83%)
- the background stays unstitched fabric
- Full cross stitches only. NO backstitch, NO fractional stitches, NO French knots
- 🪢 FABRIC Recommended: white, cream, ivory or pale grey Aida. Nothing in the design is stitched in white or ecru, so no part of the bottle disappears against a light ground
- the pale label sits fully enclosed inside the dark glass and never touches bare fabric. Please avoid black, navy or charcoal Aida: the bottle is outlined and largely filled in very dark floss, and on a dark ground the whole silhouette loses its edge. Add extra fabric on all sides for framing or hooping.
- 🪡 SKILL LEVEL Beginner. Only 7 colours, full crosses throughout, and a clear symbol chart
- a satisfying weekend project even if this is one of your first charts.

How to download
Nothing ships. After Etsy confirms payment, sign in at Etsy.com in a mobile or desktop browser, open Your account, choose Purchases, then choose Download Files beside this order. Etsy’s app does not show the download action.
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.
