Blackwork is a counted stitch technique similar to cross stitch but using backstitching to create distinctive repeat patterns.

It is a traditional embroidering style, which my patterns give a modern twist to in the instant downloadable collection of Blackwork Singles Patterns.

This listing is for the Metallic Star pattern. A modern take on a repeat blackwork fill pattern.


What you will get in your download:

You will get one document to download. Within this is the pattern, a complementary blackwork pattern and an instruction booklet which gives details on fabric, threads, sizing, stitches, how to complete your blackwork and framing the finished hoop.

Sizing:

All sizing is given for 14 count aida.

The pattern is given on 110 x 110 squares. This equates to a stitched area of aprox 20cm x 20cm (7 ¾ inch).

You can adjust your sizing depending on the size of embroidery hoop used and details of the sizes are detailed in the instruction booklet.
