The Laurel Witch Cross Stitch Pattern PDF - Little Witches - Witch of the West
I have always, always loved tiny little things. This Little Witch may look tiny, but her fine detailed pattern was designed to keep cross stitchers of all levels engaged and on their toes, with the ultimate feeling of satisfaction (and hopefully a little giggly) once she's completed!
Please note: This listing is for the PDF file only and does not include the materials for cross stitching.
As a Canadian, The Laurel Witch was inspired by the beautiful West Coast of British Columbia. In tea leaf readings, whales often symbolize the West Coast, so naturally she had to include them. The mountain ranges peaked with snow and the witch's cabin in the valley welcomes weary travelers who gather around to hear stories of the Pacific West. While the Witch of the West seems so far away from her Sister Witches in distance over the vast country, the Sister Witches keep closely connected, through magic, through the elements of Air - the wind carries their spells and magical intent to each other with barely a whisper, through Earth - the terrain from one end of the country varies so significantly but underneath it all, they connect through the magical mycelium network, something we humans cannot even fully comprehend, through Fire - oh! the devastation that can be brought with fire can be so overwhelming and cruel, yet shows the power of the elements and the regrowth and rebirth in it's aftermath, and Water - the healing held deep within the shades of blue and turquoise lakes, rivers and oceans give hope to all and a sense of renewal that can uplift even the most skeptical of it's magical properties.

Downloading and Printing Instructions:
Your file will be available to you after your payment is confirmed.
You will automatically be emailed a download link for you to download and save the file to your computer. I'd suggest the easiest way to download it is on your computer, not a phone, as you are limited in the number of times you can download the file.
Once you save the file to your computer (check your download folder if you can't find it), you can either print it out at home, print one or two pages instead of the whole pdf if you'd like, or send the whole file to your local business office supplier printer.
Design Size:
43 x 78 Stitches ***Do check the stitch counts and design size options above the Colour Key.
I stitch most of my patterns 2 over 2 (2 strands of floss) on 28 or 32 count Zweigart Even Weave.
For backstitches I usually stitch with one thread.
Floss:
I think the black DMC 310 would look wonderful if replaced by a variegated black floss or an overdyed black floss like the Leo & Roxy Cotton Floss – Chalkboard. You may need more skeins if you are using a different floss than DMC.
I have only provided one skin tone, so please do feel free to use any colours you prefer.
Fabric:
Make sure you have enough fabric to add a border all around the design. I’d suggest adding 5 cm – 7.5 cm (2-3 in) around each side for framing. These Little Witches can also be finished into little dolls or pillows.
