Cross Stitch

An embroidery technique that creates X-shaped stitches, typically arranged in a grid pattern. Cross stitch produces a distinctive tactile texture with a repetitive, regular pattern that is relatively easy to distinguish from smoother stitch types. In tactile graphic design, cross stitch is classified as a repeated motif with moderate complexity, and its regular grid-like texture provides good tactile contrast against smooth fills like satin stitch, making it useful for distinguishing adjacent regions.
