Stitch a contemporary pillow cover inspired by the art movement of geometric abstraction. In this project it was used the cheap burlap fabric but you can adapt the design in any canvas or aida fabric. Basketweave stitch is the most suitable stitch for this project, as it distorts the canvas less than the other two tent stitches. Moreover, the design is simple with large areas of color.
Stitch count: 80 stitches wide by 80 stitches high.
Fabric count: around 11 threads per inch/ 45 threads per 10cm
Number of threads eachs stitch covers: 2
Design size: The stitched area will be around 14'' 1/2 x 14'' 1/2/ 37 x 37 cm. Allow 2'' to 4'' (5 to 10 cm) on each side for border and finishing.
Note: Burlap fabric is not a good quality fabric, so it is quite difficult to calculate with accuracy the final dimensions of the stitched area.
Threads: Knitting yarn.
Colors: The design is worked in 3 colors of wool: Red, yellow and white. Backstitch the outlines of the shapes with black wool.
Stitches: Basketweave stitch for the fillings and backstitch for the outlines.
Chart: Each square equals one stitch. Each stitch covers two threads in horizontal and two threads in vertical dimension.
