A fun set of mini cross stitch pattern motifs to use with KS2 pupils, although they may be suitable for upper years of KS1 also. I have designed and completed many cross stitch projects with KS2 pupils. However, many of the simpler motifs could be suitable for Upper KS1. **There are 20 motifs included in the pack. ** The patterns are all pdfs. They are included in a zip file. Please unzip to access. Patterns included: Ship; Globe; Magnifying glass with bug (science); Football; Computer screen; Abc/123/Maths symbols; Sport trophy; Christmas Tree; Holly; Books; Art; Music; Butterfly; Crown; Bee; Union Flag; Umbrella; Heart. The motifs range from those which are very simple to complete to others which have more detail to them. All are quick to sew. Most motifs are approximately 8cm - 10cm (3”- 4”). . Each cross on the pattern = one cross stitch. There is also a sheet which contains photos of all the finished motifs as guidance. The patterns are stitched on 6 count binca material using 6 strands of thread at a time (to create sufficient thickness) and obviously can be completed in any colour combinations. All lettering on the motifs is completed in back stitch. The borders can be cross stitched, a simple back stitch or left blank. I have also included a sheet containing basic ‘how to’ cross stitch/back stitch instructions. The pack represents good value for money as the motifs are varied and can be used for many different occasions – or just for fun – individually or part of a larger project. A great time saver. I hope your pupils enjoy cross stitching!
