❄️ Celebrate the magic of the season with the Iced Biscornu! This exquisite Christmas decoration combines traditional blackwork with a modern silvered twist, creating a stunning piece that captures the joy and warmth of the holidays. Each stitch is a step closer to crafting a timeless keepsake, perfect for adding a touch of handmade charm to your festive decor. Let the elegance of this linear stitch pattern bring a festive sparkle to your home and heart. ❄️ The biscornu is a small cushion sewn from two square sheets of cloth. The word comes from the French adjective "biscornu" that means skewed, quirky, or irregular. ❄️ The finished biscornu can serve as a pincushion, paperweight, fragrant pomander, key fob, or even just as an ornament! I love adding fragrant seeds like lavender or rosemary inside to use them in my closets. This design also makes a lovely gift for someone special. ℹ️ The design is 50 x 50 stitches (each side) and once finished it's about 10 cm (4") wide and 5 cm (2") thick if you work on 10 count/cm evenweave fabric. Can be easily work on Aida. The design is quite easy to embroider, although it falls into the intermediate level category because working with metallic thread can be somewhat challenging for beginners. ℹ️ This listing is for a PDF file of the pattern, not the finished product.
