How to make
Download your Father's Day cross stitch chart and key.
Fold your fabric in half in both directions to find the centre – this is where to start stitching. Start in the centre of the chart with the letter 'A' in 'DAD'. Follow the chart for the colours to use and work all your cross stitch in two strands. If you are using linen fabric, you will need to make all your stitches over two threads.
Cross stitch all the lettering and the border, then you're ready to add the backstitch. This will make your letters and border edge stand out brilliantly.
Now you can mount your stitching in a card. Trim the fabric so that it is about 1cm larger than your card aperture. Put strips of double-sided tape all around the inside of the aperture, then press this down on your stitching. Turn the whole thing over and fold the left-hand flap of the card and secure with more tape to conceal the back of your stitching.
