Yes, it comes with instructions. I agree with the previous poster -- definitely not a project for a beginner. I've been stitching for 30 years and would not even consider stitching this beautiful pieces. For a first time project click on the "search" and enter Beginner. You will fin some very cute items. Look for something small and with only a few colors.
Check back and let us know what you decide.
