Little Mermaid She Be But Little She Is Fierce Cross Stitch Pattern (PDF Download)

Description

Bring timeless storybook charm into your home! This modern cross stitch pattern frames a classic quote from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, “And though she be but little, she is fierce,” beneath a detailed illustration of Ariel and her faithful sidekick Flounder. Designed for 14-count Aida, the pattern uses full cross stitches for the main characters with simple backstitching for the text banner. Finishing at approximately 10.1″ x 8.4″, it fits beautifully into an 8″ x 10″ or 9″ x 12″ frame to adorn a nursery, bedroom, or craft room wall. (Crafter’s Tip: While white Aida works great, stitching this design on hand-dyed seafoam, turquoise, or mottled ocean-blue fabric makes the characters look like they’re truly floating underwater!)
