Pattern: HELIOS in Classic Blues

HELIOS – ANCIENT, CLASSIC PATTERN

As I wrote on the web page and a previous blog post, this fun to stitch pattern has been around since before 2000 BC. Updating the design in modern colors makes this ancient quatrefoil pattern emminently useful. The lumbar – good for your back – size of 19.5 inches wide by 12.5 inches high is quickly stitched in our cross-point Technique. And, there is enough variety within the pattern, to make it fun! As always, our charts are large, printed in color and symbols, and includes individual instructions to make it even easier – no question about “where or how do I start”!

    Beautiful pattern, especially in my favorite color: blue.

    Thank you, Brigitte! You are right in sync – Blue is actually the most favorite color every time a survey gathers information on color preferences. If you like the design and linked to the previous blog post on its history, would you rank my post with a star rating?
