Scottish Thistle Cross Stitch Pattern

My love for Scotland has been on my mind lately and I wanted to create something to somewhat commemorate our time here. The Scottish thistle has been one of those favourite Scottish things that consistently jumps out at me, so I thought I would try my hand at stitching up a Scottish Thistle Cross Stitch Pattern. I’m pretty much in love with the result!

I used C550 and C890 (the lovely new Étoile range from DMC) for that subtle sparkle, but you can use 550 and 890 if you prefer.

This pattern is an easy stitch. It does have a neat twist, though–you stitch it on its side and then straighten the thistle when you’re finished, which means the “x” becomes a “+”.

I’m so in love with how my Scotland Thistle Cross Stitch Pattern stitched up. The bit of sparkle from the Étoile threads adds that special touch. Stitch one up for yourself or for the Scotland lover in your life!
