The reconstructed pattern comes from a traditional Norwegian folk costume (called Bunad) which often includes intricate beadwork in all various colours. This particular had bold yellow colours beautiful additional red and black. I would suggest its both modern and traditional at the same time due to its beautiful bold colours combined with the old pattern.

My example was stitched using Aida 18 and 2-thread DMC cotton in cross stitch.

The Biscornu Pincushion pattern measures 65w x 65h squares.

Thread estimate is about half a skein of each colour. There are seven colours in total.
DMC numbers are the same as the colours I've used in my example.
