Add festive elegance to Christmas stitching with this trio of hanging baubles, each ornament finished with a neat bow and its own distinct linear fill. The mix of tangled lines, diagonal stripes and horizontal bands gives the round shapes definition while keeping the overall look light and graceful. It suits makers who want a seasonal design that feels classic rather than cute, especially in warm gold or yellow thread.
Because it is an open, lightly stitched design worked in a single thread colour, it sits particularly well on linen napkins, cotton tea towels, table runners and the front of a plain cushion cover. It also makes a smart accent on a festive blouse, cardigan or child's party dress where you want decoration without a stiff, dense patch of embroidery. With twelve size options, it can scale from a small, polished detail to a more prominent centrepiece while still keeping that airy linework.
