Hello everyone,

Hope you are all ok

I wonder is anyone has/knows of a pattern for an outline of a circle approx 30cm in diameter?

Thank you for your help

If all you need is just a circle it is very easy to just make one yourself with either graph paper or a PC program for stitching.

Hello Rose,

Thanks for the information.

I have tried to copy something of an old pattern, but either they are too small or I am making it more complicated than it really is.

I did think about some downloading some software, but my computer is so old I think anything new will crash it. But I will give it a go.

When charting, you'll have to bear in mind what fabric you'll be working on -- strictly speaking there is no such thing as a chart for a 30cm circle :-) as the same chart will be tiny on 36ct over 1 and gigantic on 18ct over 2, to mention but two extremes.

If you let me know what fabric you want to use I'll be happy to chart you an outline, if you like?

Hi Mabel,

Thank you for your kind offer.

I will be working on 14 count aida, anything approx that size would be perfect.

Thank you again.

I'll send you a PM when I've got it.

By the way, when you say "outline" do you mean backstitch or a cross stitch circle?

Hi ya again.

I would prefer a cross stitch circle.

Look forward to your message.
