Funny Alien Cross Stitch Pattern PDF, a UFO chart with the deadpan quote "Tried to Look for Intelligent Life." Instant download, beginner friendly, 7 DMC colors. Somebody up there came looking, took one good look at us, and left the tractor beam running. A little flying saucer hovers over a wide golden beam scattered with lavender sparkles, framed above and below by blocky retro lettering in deep violet. Bright, graphic and dry as a bone, eggplant, tangerine and pale yellow on plain light fabric, with none of the dark or spooky treatment this joke usually gets.
🧵 PATTERN DETAILS • Stitch count: 111 × 99 (1,995 stitches) • Finished size, 14ct Aida: 7.93 × 7.07 in / 20.1 × 18.0 cm 16ct Aida: 6.94 × 6.19 in / 17.6 × 15.7 cm 18ct Aida: 6.17 × 5.50 in / 15.7 × 14.0 cm 28ct evenweave (over 2): 7.93 × 7.07 in / 20.1 × 18.0 cm • 7 DMC colors, 3 strands • Full cross stitches only, no backstitch, no fractional stitches, no French knots • Partial coverage: the fabric itself is the background (about 18% of the grid is stitched) • Recommended fabric: white or cream Aida. The beam is DMC 745 Yellow Light Pale, the palest floss in the chart, so a bright white or soft cream keeps its edge clean. Please do NOT use navy, black or charcoal, the lettering is DMC 155 Blue Violet Medium Dark and DMC 29 Eggplant, and it would vanish into a dark ground. • Design size only, add extra fabric for framing or finishing.
Under 2,000 stitches and only 7 colors, so it is a genuine weekend finish, a good first quote piece if you have never stitched lettering before, and it frames up neatly for a desk, a home office, or anywhere that could use a little cosmic disappointment.

How to download
Nothing ships. Your files are ready as soon as payment clears. On a computer: go to You, then Purchases and reviews, then hit Download next to this order. In the Etsy app: go to You, then Purchases, open the order and tap Download. Etsy also sends you a download link by email. You can re-download from that same page any time, so nothing gets lost.
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.
