Hands Kneading Dough Monochrome Blackwork Cross-Stitch Pattern Instant PDF Download

This cross-stitch pattern depicts a pair of older hands working some dough. This is a great pattern for anyone who wants to honor a parent or grandparent who may have made many sweet treats for them in prior years.

Do you use Pattern Keeper? This pattern (and all of the rest of my patterns) work great in that app!

The pattern is stitched with just one color - I recommend DMC 310 (black) but any dark color will do. I highly recommend stitching it on a white fabric as the white background will help to highlight the pattern and really make it stand out.

This is not a full-coverage cross stitch pattern. Stitching only the black parts on a light-colored fabric.

This is a fun stitch. It goes fast because you're using just one color. Moreover, once you've finished this cross stitch pattern, your friends and family won't believe it's cross stitch! The unique method of making this pattern gives it a 3-D look that will boggle your mind. You've never stitched anything like this.

Stitch Count: 290 x 190

How much fabric do you need? Stitching areas are rounded up to the nearest full inch (example a pattern that is 10.35" x 10.72" is rounded to 11" x 11") to ensure you get enough fabric. 

You'll need extra fabric around the stitched pattern to allow for framing needs. The following table calculates how much fabric you'll need for this specific pattern based on the fabric count you choose and how much extra framing fabric you want.

I was so pleased with this pattern. My mom learned to bake bread as a child and I just inherited the table she learned to bake and knead bread on when she was 12. She passed away at age 83 this year. I am going to hang this above that table in my own kitchen. Thanks for making such great patterns! Can't find things like this anywhere else. Love your work!
