About this design
★★★★★ A cheerful baby elephant celebrates with his blue balloon
A grey elephant with big ears and sparkling eyes proudly holds a blue balloon, standing amongst daisies, lavender, and wildflowers. An inviting, joyful scene that radiates innocence and celebration — perfect for a baby shower, first birthday, or as nursery decor.
Why this cross-stitch kit?
The soft grey tones of the elephant, the light blue of the balloon, and the pastel floral palette make this a cheerful, fresh design that fits into any modern nursery. With 22 thread colors, this is a delightful project for beginning embroiderers — not too complex, with enough variation to get lost in.
Who is this embroidery kit for?
A beloved baby gift or birth gift — especially for a boy given the blue balloon, but also perfectly gender-neutral. Particularly popular as a gift for a first birthday or baby shower. Also fun to make yourself as a relaxing evening project.
What's included in this cross-stitch kit?
- Pre-printed 11CT embroidery canvas — symbols and color numbers are already on the canvas, so no counting needed
- 22 colors of premium eco-cotton thread (Huacan) — stronger and more colorfast than standard thread, less prone to breaking
- Two gold-plated cross-stitch needles in a handy protective case
- Step-by-step instructions in Dutch, also suitable for beginners
- Printed symbol chart as a reference during embroidery
Which size is right for me?
Our smallest size (20×30 cm) is a fun weekend project for next to the crib or in a birth announcement album, while 40×50 cm (our most popular size) results in a beautiful piece to frame above the changing table. Larger sizes (from 60×80 cm) become cheerful statement pieces that define the entire nursery atmosphere.
Please note: the physical kit is supplied in 30×40, 40×50, or 50×70 cm. Other sizes will be received as a digital pattern (PDF download) — handy if you already have canvas, thread, and needles at home.

Pre-printed: The symbols and colours are on the fabric. You can see straight away where each stitch goes and work your way through colour by colour.
Counted pattern: You stitch on blank fabric and follow the pattern supplied. A traditional way of cross stitching that takes a little more focus. The counted pattern comes in fewer sizes.
Fabric: 11CT as standard (11 stitches per 2.54 cm). With the upgrade to 14CT, the stitches are smaller and you see more detail.
I’ve never done embroidery before. Will I manage?
Yes. Just choose pre-printed: the symbols and colours are already on the fabric, so there’s no counting. The instructions (in Dutch) explain step by step how to make a cross stitch.
What’s the difference between 11CT and 14CT?
CT stands for the number of stitches per 2.54 cm. 11CT is standard: larger stitches, easy to see. On 14CT the stitches are smaller, so you see more detail in things like faces and fur.
When will my kit arrive?
We make your kit in 5–7 working days, then it’s with you in 2–4 working days. Shipping is always free, with tracking.
You can pay securely with iDEAL, Klarna, Bancontact, Visa, Mastercard or PayPal.
Can I return it?
You have a 14-day cooling-off period. During that time, you can send the kit back in its original condition.
We’ll always put it right. Something damaged or missing, or did we make a mistake? Email a photo to info@stitchistudio.com.
Can I give it as a gift?
Of course. At checkout, enter the recipient’s address.
What are the instructions like?
Every kit includes step-by-step instructions in Dutch: how to read the symbols, make your first cross stitch and start and finish neatly.
How do I wash my embroidery?
- Hand wash your embroidery in lukewarm water (30 °C max.) with a little mild soap.
- Don’t wring: press the water out between two towels.
- Leave it to dry flat, out of direct sunlight.
- Iron the back, on a soft towel, to keep the stitches nice and plump.
