Free Candlewicking Diamond Border Pattern

The free Candlewicking pattern collection has some versatile patterns in it. This one is called Diamond Border. Candlewicking designs are created using the colonial knot and other embroidery stitches. Get started on this traditional embroidery style with Candlewicking Basics.

These patterns can also be used for many other projects. Use paint pens to create the design instead of stitches. Create a beaded design. Use small sequins or charms for part of the design. The possibilities are endless!

If you use one of the free patterns from About.com Cross Stitch, be sure to send in a photo of the project for the About.com Cross Stitch Photo Albums.
