Cross Stitch is obtained by defeating Phantom in the Exhaust Organ located in Bilewater in Hollow Knight: Silksong. See how to unlock Cross Stitch and how to use it here!
List of Contents

The Cross Stitch can be unlocked by defeating the Phantom in the Exhaust Organ of Bilewater. Do note that this area might be a bit difficult to progress, given the existing mist that shrouds Bilewater.
It is recommended that you search for white butterflies in Bilewater and play the Needolin in their presence so that they'll guide you out of the mist. Defeating Phantom will remove the mist puzzle entirely from Bilewater.
Cross Stitch is a powerful parry move that deals substantial damage when executed with timing and precision. This skill requires players to analyze attack patterns from enemies to prevent openings from failed parry executions.

Once you have acquired Cross Stitch, you will need to equip it in the skill slot available of your designated Crest. This will allow you to use the Cross Stitch skill during gameplay.

An easier path to Phantom is through a breakable wall in the lop left of sinner's road. Doesn't require going through Bilewater, so its easier.
