Duck in the Garden Cross Stitch Pattern

Description

Our Duck in the Garden cross stitch pattern was inspired by an old woodcut design by Dutch painter and graphic artist Julie de Graag. It was part of a series of four (created between 1923 and 1924).

This handsome duck is easy to complete and a great project for beginners — just use black Aida cloth and complete only the white stitches.

We love how the artist has used just a few single lines to represent tall grass and garden flowers — and we’ve done our best to replicate those into your cross stitch project.
