Hey, I was wondering if any patterns on here could be used for cross stitch? If so what patterns would y’all request?

Thanks!

All alpha patterns can be used for cross stitch.

What exactly are you asking people to request?

@halokiwi I am asking what patterns would be easing for cross stitch and which ones they recommend.

I've never made an alpha into a cross stitch before but as someone who does do cross stitch I would imagine that the easier patterns to make into one would be the same as the patterns that are easier to knot.

So anything that has large blocks of colour is going to be easier and quicker to make whereas patterns that have alot of different colour scattered across are going to be harder as you'll have to keep cutting your threads or dragging them across the back of your work.

I don't have any specific recommendations as that's really up to you but any alpha can be made into a cross stitch if you're determined enough!

hey i’m a bracelet maker and a cross stitcher and i definitely recommend alpha patterns as long as you are prepared to drag strings if there’s not block colours so i usually find a pattern and study it first to see where i would start, how hard it would be and how long it could take and if i’m happy with those then i make the pattern
