This cross-stitch sampler is inspired by knitting motifs characteristic of Selbu, a region in central Norway famous for its patterned mittens. Three separate PDFs are included: a four-color version, a red-and-black version, and a monochrome version. The entire pattern could be stitched as a whole, or separate components could be worked individually for smaller projects. There are no fractional stitches, and the design can be embroidered on aida or evenweave.
Stitch count: 135 wide x 135 high.
Approximate size: 9¾ x 9¾ inches on 14-count aida or 28-count evenweave; 8½ x 8½ inches on 16-count aida or 32-count evenweave; 7½ x 7½ inches on 18-count aida or 36-count evenweave.
Note: If you would like to stitch a companion piece, the Romanian Sampler is the exact same dimensions as the Norwegian Sampler.
This is a PDF file of an embroidery pattern, not a finished product. Once payment has been made, you will be sent a link via Etsy that will lead you to a downloadable PDF. Cliffside Stitches PDFs include an explanation of the historical/cultural background of the design, clear charts, suggested DMC floss colors, tips for using the design to create smaller projects, and photos of finished models.
