PLEASE NOTE: this pattern was originally a SAL (Stitch-ALong). Its format is therefore very different from “normal” patterns. You will get a Welcome Booklet, as well as individual patterns as described below:
THE WELCOME BOOKLET includes all the information you need to get started:
- a detailed shopping list
- a schedule page with all SAL dates
- a full key for all the colours used
- a printable thread card
- a layout page with a suggestion of how to place each section on the fabric
- the outline of each section
- a special stitch tutorial page for all those used in this SAL
EACH PART is then downloadable:
- a chart for each of the 8 parts to be stitched
- a finishing tutorial (in 2 parts) with very clear instructions & photos, to fully assemble the project
CHARTED WITH:
- Zweigart Belfast 32ct linen [Alternative: Zweigart Cashel 28ct linen]

- Mill Hill beads
- 6 mm sequins
