Celtic Key Tile Pattern

Category:

Embroidery

Type:

Hand Embroidery

Skill Level:

Beginner

Basic Skills Necessary:

Simple backstitch (Blackwork) stitching on counted thread fabric (Aida cloth or evenweave fabric).

Pattern Description:

Limited time special for St. Patrick's Day - $2.00 off!

I love Blackwork or Backstitch designs because they can be completed so quickly with few or no color changes. They are a great take-along project when traveling because they require so few supplies, all of which are readily available in any craft or hobby store.

These are great designs for beginners, as only one type of stitch is required. If you mark the center of your stitching fabric, and work your stitching from the center out, it will be very easy to follow the chart and keep your place, and ensure that your design will always be perfectly centered on your fabric.

Sizing / Finished Measurements:

Finished size of design is approximately 7x7".

Materials:

12x12" 14-count Aida or 28-count Evenweave fabric and approximately 8 skeins of black embroidery floss.

You Will Also Need:

Embroidery needle, scissors, and embroidery hoop or stretcher frame.
