Scandinavian Sampler 1 folk embroidery PDF pattern

The Scandinavian Sampler 1 folk embroidery PDF pattern features both cross stitch and embroidery designs and was created in partnership with Folkwear Sewing Patterns for their Norwegian folk costume pattern. Known as “bunad,” Norwegian folk costume features both cross stitch decorations (typically the chest, sleeves, and shirt neck placket) and embroidery designs known as "rosemaling" (typically back yoke, hems and accessories). This pattern includes both one large cross stitch charts along with five hand embroidery motifs. The rosemaling embroidery motifs can be printed to stick-and-stitch paper for garments, and the cross stitch designs can be used for folk costume, or for wall hangings, cushion covers, and table runners. Finished size as shown (exclusive of finishing): 9.5 x 11” Stitch count for cross stitch (as shown, can easily be adapted): 143 x 167 stitch area/12402 cross stitches/1030 backstitches Stitches used: cross stitch, satin stitch, stem stitch Avlea Folk Embroidery brings ancient beauty to the modern world with gorgeous folk embroidery kits of the finest quality.
