Description
This listing is for a digital PDF file. Immediately after purchase you can download your file, in either Letter format (used mainly in Canada, the US, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Panama, Guatemala, the Dominican Republic and the Philippines) or A4 (rest of the world). A Pattern Keeper compatible version of this design is also included in your downloads.
The Ivy Green is an update of a pattern by the same name released originally in 2016. I have made some small changes in 2025 and have updated the booklet.
This design was inspired by an antique cast-iron candelabrum that we have in our house. I wanted to make a pattern inspired by the vines of ivy that weave around the candelabrum, and designed it to resemble English neo-Gothic tile designs.
TECHNICAL DETAILS
This design measures 253 crosses in width and height and has 23747 crosses. Please see the graph below for size- and floss estimates. Floss estimates are based on working with two pulled strands (14 – 18-count Aida or 28 – 36-count linen) or one strand (20-count Aida / 40-count linen and higher). It is, of course, up to you how many strands you want to use for your project. A three-cross greyed-out overlap area is found from the 2nd pattern page onwards to help you find your way.
As this is a monochrome design, you may stitch it with whatever colour (or colours) you wish.
If you want to approach the look of the cover and back images, I can recommend the following Roxy Floss Co flosses and linens (all exclusively available through www.evertote.ca in Canada). For the cover,
I would recommend Asparagus (or Artichoke) floss, worked on Porcelain linen. For the back version, Bookworm floss worked on PUB Crawl linen would closely resemble that version.
