This pattern is perfect for intermediary skills level embroiderers. I used DMC thread no 742 to create a gold look on a dark blue fabric. As I worked on the design the of a second color (DMC 930) to add dimension called to me and it worked well.
Whether used as a decorative piece or as a working tool, the Wheel of the Year Embroidery Pattern is a versatile and beautiful addition to your collection of special things.
This pattern is divided into two pieces (you will need to print 2 pages) as it is too big to fit onto a regular A4 page. After you have printed the pages, fit them together and use a bit of tape to hold them in place.
While the chart of suggested stitches are helpful, they’re only suggestions. You have the creative freedom to customize this design by experimenting with different colors and exploring alternative stitches. Let your imagination guide you to create a unique and stunning work of art.
