Much like the straight stitch technique we explored in my previous post, geometric stitch patterns serve as wonderful building blocks for creating beautiful, intricate designs.
In this blog post, we’re featuring how this stitch technique can create stunning patterns using simple and basic shapes.
The Geometric Stitch Pattern and Shapes used in this Pattern
The inspiration behind this design was taken from Susan Portra’s Spirit of the Southwest pattern. The overall pattern used a series of octagons within the design. I purchased this pattern many years ago, and I hope to stitch the entire pattern in the future, but for now, we have chosen one of the nine octagons for our sample.
The sample was stitched on 18-count mono canvas, measuring 3 inches and uses the same beautiful autumn colour palettes that we’ve already highlighted this month:
With this octagon sample, we hope to have shown how a basic shape combined with thoughtful colour selection can create a beautiful design. Whether you’re new to geometric work or a seasoned stitcher, this pattern offers endless possibilities for creative expression.
