Cardinal Biscornu
CROSS STITCH PATTERN READY TO DOWNLOAD, DESIGNED BY Tiny Modernist

A red cardinal has just landed on snow-covered branches. Pretty red ball-ornaments hang from the tree.

This biscornu is cross stitched on both sides, with a different ornament motif on the back. When mounted, both sides of the pattern meet to form a decorative border.

The finished piece is pretty, whether you look at it from the sides or above. You can therefore either display it on a shelf or mantlepiece, or hang it on the Christmas tree.

The Biscornu shape is a small ornamental cushion that is a lot of fun to cross stitch. It is composed of two squares of fabric. Whipstitch is used for assembly, slipping the needle under the lines of backstitch on each part (no extra machine or hand sewing required). A tutorial with biscornu mounting instructions is provided with the chart.
