I’m still cleaning out my hand embroidery pattern archives, sketches, and whatnot, and as I go, I thought I’d keep posting anything that struck me as interesting for simple embellisment. This one’s a simple circular pattern.
This simple embroidery pattern seems well-suited to line stitches. You can find a whole list of line stitches in my Video Library of Stitches Index.
To save this pattern, right click on it. You can enlarge it or reduce it on a photocopier or in a photo editing program.

Have fun with it!
I believe this is called a mandala. The monks make this in sand to help with meditation.
This is a great pattern for beginners. I am teaching my 7-year-old daughter out to stitch and I think this is the perfect challenge for her. I have enjoyed using your patterns! Thanks
Hi Mary, Would you suggest a few color combinations for your free circular pattern. One color, a run of a range of colors, how many colors would be effective before I overdo color? You suggested line stitches, split, stem, couched buttonhole come to mind. Thanks for your advice.
