This little design could be stitched as a tiny remembrance piece for a loved one. The letters RIP have been used on tombstones for hundreds of years and stand for Requiescat In Pace (Rest In Peace).
This design measures 59 crosses in width and height. Stitched over 2 threads on 32 count linen (or over 1 on 16ct Aida) it would measure approximately 3 3/4” by 3 3/4” (9. 5 by 9. 5cm).
This pattern can be stitched on any fabric, but a nicely hand-dyed, slightly aged looking fabric combined with some variegated floss would look fantastic I think. You
can stitch it light on dark or dark on light – the choice is yours.
Make sure to check out the Leo & Roxy Yarn Co flosses at www.evertote.com in Canada. These hand-dyed cotton flosses are wonderful to work with and come in a fantastic range of colours.
This pattern has a total of 1153 crosses. When working with 2 pulled strands of this floss you can stitch approximately 1800 crosses with one hank. This means 1 skein (or any other floss measuring about 8 to 10 yards) should be sufficient to complete this project.
