Abstract and geometric cross-stitch patterns

Bold geometric designs built from chevrons, arrows, diamonds, checkerboards and layered shapes. Repeating shapes make them relaxing to stitch, and many use just four colours, which keeps your thread shopping short.

Most are rated beginner, so this is a good place to start if you're new to counted cross-stitch. They also suit modern interiors, finished in a simple frame or made into a cushion.
