Black Rosea Cross Stitch Pattern by X's & Oh's

This design is based on a pencil sketch Jo Gatenby did for an art class. She always thought it would make a cool cross-stitch pattern, so the theme for Issue 59 gave her a chance to try it out! If you’re not a fan of black, she suggests, of course, to choose only 6 shades of your favourite colour to stitch this beauty. Select complementary colours from palest to darkest and go for it!

Model is stitched on 28ct Antique White Jobelan fabric by Wichelt Imports, using DMC threads. Stitch count is 66 X 82. Finished size 4.71 in wide X 5.86 in high.
