CELTIC KNOT NEEDLEPOINT KIT

DESIGN OF THE MONTH – AUGUST

Celtic Knot 07 in teals and bronze

Our Celtic Knot needlepoint Arts & Crafts pattern is the August Design of the Month.  Inspired by geometric ornament found in the Book of Kells, Celtic Knot is an original Cross-Point™ design created as a series of interwoven vertical bands. Angular knotwork, stepped motifs, and repeating stripes form a striking small lumbar cushion with an engaging rhythmic design that is both enjoyable to stitch and beautifully suited to today’s home. Whether you are new to The Cross-Point Collection or an experienced stitchers, Celtic Knot offers a rewarding and relaxing project. 

A BIT OF HISTORY

For more than a thousand years, the graceful interlacing patterns of Celtic art have inspired artists and craftsmen. The same flowing designs appear in illuminated manuscripts, carved stone crosses, jewelry, metalwork, textiles and pottery. Each generation interpreted these enduring forms in its own way while preserving the rhythm and harmony that make Celtic ornament instantly recognizable today.

At the Cross-Point™ Collection, we use the term “Arts & Crafts” in its broader sense to celebrate the handmade traditions of many cultures. While the British Arts & Crafts Movement represents one important chapter in design history, our inspiration comes from the great craft traditions of the world. My Celtic Knot design reflects that philosophy by transforming centuries-old artistic inspiration into an original decorative lumbar pillow for today’s home.
