Reddit reviews Mega Mini Cross Stitch: 900 Super Awesome Cross Stitch Motifs

I have a book, “Mega Mini Cross Stitch” by Makoto Oozu. It has just what you’re looking for. I got it on amazon.

I built the pattern from this cross stitch book:

If your niece has shown an interest in learning, then it's more likely that she will have the patience to give it a go. You could start with some super simple little motif patterns - stuff like this maybe. If she enjoys that, then she could move up to those cute kits you got her. I think I started when I was about 8, and would have had no problems doing those kits. Probably the hardest part is learning to count and space your stitches.

I love this book - it has all sorts of little motifs, including country flags! If they're too small for your coaster, you could do a block of four stitches for every single stitch in the pattern.

What about å book with a lot of small patterns, like https://www.amazon.com/Mega-Mini-Cross-Stitch-Awesome/dp/1910904384/. Or make a "kit" with some of the great patterns from; https://parvumautomaton.wordpress.com/welcome/free-patterns/star-wars/

Technically, it’s a work I progress since I’m making a whole square of motifs. But I got the design out of here.

I already had Tardis' pattern, you can get it here https://cloudsfactory.net/10th-doctor-and-rose-tyler-doctor-who.html
