Hang on to Summer with these Pretty Purple Violets to Stitch

I know it’s unofficially fall now, but where I live it still feels exactly like summer and I’m not quite ready to enter the land of frost and pumpkin spice everything just yet.

If you want to hold on to summer, too, or you live somewhere where summer is just around the corner, check out these pretty purple violets, in a free cross-stitch pattern from Alita Designs.

This little pattern is pretty easy to stitch and comes out to a nice size for framing when worked on 14 count Aida.

Violets are traditionally a symbol of love and admiration, so this little project would be a lovely and meaningful gift, too.
