Katrin & William

Katrin and William is a cross stitch design inspired by an 18th century Scottish sampler in my personal collection. I took various elements from the design and reworked them into the design you see here. The pattern includes an alphabet chart which can be stitched exactly as seen, with extra space for personalisation. You can however only stitch the scene with the man and woman flanking the giant vase with tulips. This design features only full crosses and just a few backstitches in the hair of the man. The large alphabets on this chart can be worked in eyelets – the chart shows groups of 4×4 crosses, but these can be replaced by eyelets instead. Note that the pattern keeper will not show the backstitches in the hair of the man – please refer to the original chart to see those stitches!
