This design was inspired by the beautiful traditional woven coverlets from the US and Canada. I fell in love with coverlets back in 2020, and have since added a (large fragment of a) very colourful coverlet to my collection of historical textiles. Initially this pattern was intended to be a larger design to be woven as an actual coverlet, but due to logistic difficulties that plan was shelved. I recently came across the design again, and decided to turn it into a large cross stitch design!
PLEASE NOTE: A free bonus version of the design is now included in the downloads for this pattern, called “Under the Stars – Square edition”. You can purchase this chart also separately.
TECHNICAL DETAILS
When worked precisely as per the pattern, the design measures 281 crosses in width and 557 crosses in height and has a total of 53585 crosses. Stitched over two threads on 32 count linen (or over one on 16 count Aida), it would measure approximately 17 1/2” by 34 7/8” (44.5 x 88.5cm). When working with two pulled strands of floss from an 8-yard hank, you’d need a minimum of 30 to complete this project.
The pattern is split over 20 pages. After the 1st pattern page, you will notice a 3-cross high or wide greyed out area. This indicates an overlap from the previous page(s) and is there to help you continue your work on a new page.
You can choose to stitch this design with one colour as charted or use various colours. Although you are free to pick any colour and cloth combination, I can highly recommend my favourite new floss company, Leo&Roxy Floss Co in Canada, exclusively available through www.evertote.com
