Byzantine Zoe Cross Stitch Pattern - Digital Download

This stunning design from Avlea features ancient motifs including several kinds of stars and flowers, and a unique lozenge and rectangle with flourishes. Worked in a traditional colorway called the "zoe" or "life giving" colors, the predominantly featured bright coral red is associated with new life and Greek Pascha (Easter) as red-dyed eggs are integral to this celebration in Greece. The model is worked as a 36" square, but you could also stitch the pattern as a border to make a rectangular runner or pillow. The stitch count will vary depending on how you choose to work the design. Pattern PDF includes:* Full color chart* List of 6 DMC thread colors* Color photo for reference New to cross stitch?
