This week’s vintage design is another Anne Orr needlepoint pattern. Then central motif is a series of pomegranates. On one side of it is a border of Tent Stitches in three shades of the same color.
Looking at the picture in my magazine, the pomegranates are stitched in the middle shade, as charted. The photo shows several borders repeated, making a pillow. A light shade of the main color is used for the background.
If you wanted to use this as a border, you could vary it by flipping the Tent Stitch so that there is the multi-color border on either side.
