**New to Blackwork?**

A beautiful starter sampler to try traditional blackwork stitching but with a modern twist. Blackwork gives lovely tidy lines and these are used in pattern to create the circular shapes of each flower patch.
Blackwork is a counted stitch embroidery technique popularised in Elizabethan England. Needlework is a great craft for stress relief and relaxation. Take some time out and create hoop art with this instant downloadable pattern.

This listing is for the download only. You will receive the pattern enlarged over four A4 sheets with a pagemap to show how the pattern fits together across the pages.

**In the pictures**

Picture shown on white 14 count aida but any sized aida can be used, depending on the finished size you require. I have used black coton a broder thread size 25. You could use coton a broder or two strands of a 6 stranded cotton thread. Any colour can be used - maybe try a different colour for each patch of blackwork to create a rainbow effect or make your flowers using realistic colour matches!
