Generally it’s onerous to search out winter cross sew patterns that aren’t overtly Christmas associated, and this one simply barely squeaks by however I’m going to permit it as a result of it’s simply so fairly I’ve to share it.
Tinsel Cross Sew calls this Quaker Christmas #4, which I assume is ok. I feel I’d name it one thing like boho snowflake wall hanging. However no matter you name it, it’s value taking a better look.
First off, you’ll discover the massive geometric snowflake motifs, in addition to smaller snowflake designs. There are many little designs stitched into the drops across the greater snowflakes, together with hearts, bows, a deer, a gingerbread man, a rocking horse and a few angels (thus my assertion that it solely simply isn’t a Christmas sample, as a result of there are positively some Christmas photos in right here) amongst different issues. It’s virtually like an I-spy whenever you begin it you’ll simply preserve seeing extra issues.
The design is 220 by 362 stitches, which some out to fifteen.71 by 25.86 inches, or 39.91 by 65.68 cm on 14 depend material. It solely makes use of one shade but it surely makes use of a variety of that one shade. I really like the white on the darkish blue as proven, however in the event you go to the itemizing web page you’ll see different choices together with darkish blue thread on white, pink on white and white on pink or inexperienced.
I really like that this sample reveals utilizing a single shade of thread will be actually putting the place you may suppose it will be boring. The sample makes use of full cross stitches and again stitches.
I additionally like the concept of taking among the particular person components out of the sample to make smaller designs. Only a single snowflake could be fairly in a hoop, or take a piece to sew on a card, pillow or different venture.
You may seize a duplicate of the sample for your self from Tinsel Cross Sew on Etsy.
