Knotwork Bookmark

Stitch count: 120H X 30W

This piece is designed to utilize overdyed fiber colors.

You will need up to three overdyed colors, plus solid backstitch

colors.

My recommendation is to choose one overdyed that has several

different colors, and then choose two others which are subordinate

to that one. Or, you may chose only one or two overdyed fibers,

and then choose coordinating solid color(s) to complete the

design...

When you choose your backstitch colors, remember that they

should be darker than the colors you are backstitching.

The possibilities are as endless as your imagination!

General Instructions:

Cross stitch over-two using the appropriate number of strands for

your fabric count.

When using overdyed floss, make sure to cross each stitch before

you move on to the next one. Also, in order to preserve the “flow”

of the overdyed colors, make sure to begin each strand with the

same color that you ended with.

The shaded blocks around the outside of the design should be

worked in satin stitch in the appropriate colors. And remember, if

you would like to change the floss colors around: for example: you

think the dark area of the border would look better in the floss

color you’ve chosen for the central knotwork motif, please feel free

to do so!

Don’t backstitch the blocks of color in the border; only the knot-

work area.

ENJOY!
