Vintage Kitchen Cross Stitch Pattern

by

This pretty and colorful vintage kitchen cross stitch pattern is the perfect thing to stitch up for your kitchen or pantry. The teapot, dishes and tools have a great retro look and the colors are so cute.

You could also just stitch a row of these or a couple of designs on tea towels, napkins, an apron or other kitchen linens.

The pattern is 120 by 113 stitches and uses 14 colors. It comes out to about 8 5/8 by 8 1/8 inches on 14 count fabric. The designer, Zephyr Mood, is based in Kyiv, Ukraine, so this fun pattern is another great way to support a Ukrainian family no doubt going through some hard times right now.

You can purchase the pattern on Etsy.
