Celtic Cross Stitch takes inspiration from a wide variety of Celtic designs and explores the challenges of transferring them to patterns for counted cross stitch. Here are 30 fully detailed and charted projects, ranging from simple cards and pictures to a stunning rug and an embroidered border for an heirloom christening gown. Knotwork, key, and spiral designs are featured together with animal, plant and human forms. In addition a separate section charts a selection of classic Celtic alphabet designs. Some of the projects will appeal to experienced embroiderers, others to those who are new to the craft. Each project begins with clear, step-by-step instructions, lists the needed materials, and shows you the finished design. You'll find numerous ideas for alternative color schemes and variations on the basic designs as well. These and the pattern library of designs will inspire you to make up your own Celtic motifs and patterns.
