Blackwork Flowers with Robin
BLACKWORK PATTERN DESIGNED BY Lesley Teare Designs
A red robin is perched among the Christmas Roses, berries and ivy leaves. The first primroses are starting to bloom in soft pastel colors.
While most of the piece is cross stitch, the white hellebore flower petals have been stitched in Blackwork, with a variety of tiny motifs showing in each one. The hearts of the flowers are embellished with beads.
Like cross stitch, Blackwork is a counted thread technique, with stitches represented on a grid. A majority of stitches are backstitch, with some cross stitch filling certain areas. The chart comes with an extensive Stitching Guide detailing all stitches including fractional stitches.
