Floriography Mitten Pattern & Cross Stitch Embellishment
Floriography Mitten Pattern & Cross Stitch Embellishment
You've cross stitched onto aida & used waste canvas to stitch onto your clothes - and now you can cross stitch directly onto your knits! Introducing my newest collaboration with @emtothethird. The mitten pattern was designed by @emtothethird and the yarn is her botanically dyed base liminal. You can purchase kits directly from Mckenzie.
I designed the cross stitch pattern and we're working on a little video tutorial to help walk you through the cross stitching part.
The tapestry wool is DMC brand & can be used in any fun combination of colors. It's also a great scrap busting project if you want to use what you have! You'll need approximately 4 yards of red, yellow and blue, and 12 yards of green. As you switch colors to use your stash, yardage may vary.
The PDF includes instructions for knitting the mitten as well as embellishing with the cross stitch pattern.
