WHAT IS IN A PATTERN

Printable PDF chart (A4 or US Letter), a color cover page of the finished design, a DMC thread list with lengths needed, step-by-step stitching instructions, full color symbol chart and an instant download after checkout.

Works on phone, tablet, or computer — and fully compatible with Pattern Keeper for digital progress tracking.

HOW YOU RECEIVE IT

You get a download link on the order page and by email straight after checkout. 

STANDARD VS LARGER

We give you two symbol size options so you can stitch the way you love.

Standard Symbols – A little bigger than the usual charts, these fit more of the pattern on each A4 page. Perfect if you like fewer pages and are comfy with regular-sized symbols.

Large Symbols – Around 30% bigger, making them super easy on the eyes. They do take up more pages, but many stitchers find them much more relaxing to follow.

Note: Bundled Sets may not include the option of Larger Symbols.

RETURNS

Unfortunately for digital downloads, we have a no-return policy. However if there is an issue with your chart, do let us know and we will replace the chart for you.

About the artist

Katsushika Hokusai

Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849) spent his entire long life in pursuit of artistic mastery — and produced some of the most recognisable images in the history of world art along the way. The Great Wave off Kanagawa alone has become one of the most reproduced artworks ever created. The Japanese ukiyo-e master's bold outlines, flat planes of colour, and extraordinary compositional skill made his work immediately appealing to Western audiences when it was first introduced to Europe in the 19th century, directly influencing the Impressionists.

Browse our Katsushika Hokusai cross stitch kit collection and find everything from The Great Wave to his iconic landscape and floral series — available as premium cross stitch kits or instant download PDF patterns.
