Pattern Description:

This is my second Downton Abbey inspired cross-stitch pattern made in the style of an alphabet sampler. Of course, life at Downton has it's own language so as a fan you'll enjoy stitching these images and remembering the most interesting parts of Season One and Two while waiting for Season 3...like the fake sugar and poor Mr. Pamuk (who died in Season 1 but whose presence remained throughout Season 2, so I made him a zombie) . Also, you'll find typical English period items, such as a bowler hat, tea cup, and a trifle (Daisy would of probably ruined it, right?).

This pattern is given to you in PDF with full color symbols. DMC thread is referenced in a legend and a floss count is provided as well as a complete supply list that can be filled at any craft store.

Disclaimer: this pattern is a devoted fan's interpretation and is neither affiliated with official Downton Abbey merchandising nor makes claims of this nature.

embroidery hoop
