Handfasting Ribbon a Cross Stitch Pattern by Artists Alley

Optional Fabric Idea: For the stitched model I used stitchband. The edges are already finished with a nice stitch and it comes in a lot of choices.

A Handfasting Ribbon is a Pagan/Wiccan or Celtic Wedding Tradition. The hands are wrapped together with the ribbon to symbolize the joining of their heart, body and soul.
This ribbon is a beautiful way to add something special that can be given to and kept by the happy couple.
