A selection of hardanger patterns from Carol Leather
Whether you have been stitching hardanger patterns for years or have just completed my learn hardanger free course of lessons this selection of designs will delight and perhaps surprise you.
Each chart includes full illustrated hardanger instructions so that even the beginner can have fun producing beautiful hardanger embroidery. On the graph each line represents one fabric thread making them simple to follow.
The designs can be purchased in two different ways, printed charts that you will receive in the post, or instant downloads that you print yourself and can start stitching immediately. Its your choice.
Hardanger owl
Although geometric by nature there is nothing to say that the kloster blocks in hardanger embroidery cannot be arranged to make a picture! This little hardanger owl is always a hit at the workshops I teach locally and is simple to stitch.
The diagrams and instructions will show you how to work the kloster blocks, doves eyes, needleweaving, eyelets, cable stitch, buttonholed eyes and fishbone stitch (for his beak).
Design size: 84 x 84 stitches (3.8" square on 22 count fabric)
What would your wish be? No, don't tell me or it won't come true!
Whether you frame it or make it into a bellpull this hardanger pattern is sure to delight.

Design size: 76 x 180 stitches (3.5 x 8.2" on 22 count fabric)
Why not make something practical while you are learning hardanger embroidery? This simple little mat uses just kloster blocks, cutting and needleweaving and doves eyes, all clearly explained with accompanying pictures.

Kloster blocks form daisy chains inside a four sided stitch border on this design. Surface embroidery is used for the motifs, along with eyelets. Needleweaving and square filets decorate the openwork areas.
This versatile hardanger pattern can be used as a small table runner, it can be framed or finished as a bellpull.

A hardanger sampler in the real sense, this stunning project introduces four different filling stitches; the clover leaf, greek cross, spiders web and woven flower.
