How to make a cross stitch necklace
Wear your favourite hobby with pride by stitching up this unique heart pendant, designed by Lucie Heaton.
No need to confine your stitching to hoops and frames alone – try something new with these striking wooden pendant necklaces! Stitch either a jaunty bluebird, bursting magnificently from a yellow background, or two classically elegant pink and yellow roses.
Designed by Lucie Heaton, these charts were originally printed in Cross Stitch Crazy issue 226. Stitch them on to a wooden perforated heart pendant, then thread with ribbon, cord or twine to create your own me-made jewellery!
To stitch these sweet hearts, you’ll need:
- Threads – Stranded cotton as listed in the key (on the PDF)
- Needle – Size 24 tapestry needle
- Pendants – one or two wooden perforated heart-shaped pendants – you can get these with a print copy of issue 263 of Cross Stitch Crazy magazine in Morrisons UK stores from 21st November 2019 to 18th December 2019. Can’t find a copy of Cross Stitch Crazy? You can also find wooden heart pendants here on Etsy.
- Extras – One or two lengths of pink ribbon (to hang)
