Christmas Biscornu

This quirky shaped cross stitch is much simpler than it may appear. Two different counted cross stitch designs are stitched individually, from a colour chart. The finished pieces of needlework are offset at right angles and when whip stitched together the shape literally folds itself. Japanese seed beads are incorporated into the whip stitching and a larger glass bead sew in the centre to finish.

This design is available either as a FREE stash busting PDF download or a kit containing everything you need; Full colour instructions and chart, Anchor stranded embroidery threads, Japanese seed beads, larger glass central beads and John James cross stitch needle. You have the choice of either 28 count cashel linen or 14 count Aida.

You simply need a little time and a small amount of stuffing - traditional polyester, lavender or poly pellets.

The seed and glass beads may vary in colour from those shown in the picture but they will complement the design.

Finished size approximately 10cm x 10cm x 4cm
