Weaving knot - graduated blackwork stitch-a-long

This weaving knot design uses graduated blackwork fills to create a 3-D effect. This may look a little complicated but I've made it hopefully very easy, as there is a simple 'base' layer, that consists of a simple blackwork design that fills each section, that you then add to, magically creating the shading. The chart includes each section broken down as you can see in the included image.

Also, there are no fractional stitches and only very simple 45 degree diagonal stitches (so just across diagonally from corner to corner) It really does just use very simple stitches to create quite a complex looking design!

You will receive the template (including the first sections as shown in my photos) via email and then each release will be available via the SAL drop-down menu when you are signed into your account, if you don't have an account you can make one by clicking HERE

The release dates are 23rd March, 30th March, 6th April and 13th April.

All the access instructions are included with the chart and also instructions so you can check you are all set up and ready for the next release :)

My stitching was done on 18 count with a double strand of DMC 310 for the outline and a single strand for the fills. I would recommend using 2 strands for the outline as I feel this design just needs that little bit of extra definition at the edges.

Design size in stitches 156 x 156 

On 14 count 28.5 x 28.5 cms (11.5 x 11.5 inches), so you can pop it in a 12 inch hoop to work on/display

On 16 count 25 x 25 cms (9.75 x 9.75 inches), might just about fit in a 10 inch hoop, if not then a 12 inch

On 18 count 22 x 22 cm (9 x 9 inches), just the right size for a 10 inch hoop :)
