Cross stitch Olympic gold medal.
Cross stitch Olympic gold medal.
Consider each colored square box as a cross stitch ('X') in the templates.
Like I've said before, for cross stitching it's better to start from the center of any design. First I cross stitched the number '1' using 2 strands of golden crochet thread. Started from the top, cross stitched the half of the straight part, completed the bottom and again cross stitched my way up to complete the second half of the straight part.
Then I cross stitched the medal using 1 strand of yellow yarn, around the number '1'. Started from the right side and cross stitched my way towards the left side.
After that did the borders and the ribbons. For the ribbons I started the cross stitch from the top of the medal (where the ribbon joins the medal), did half stitches all the way up ans came back down doing cross stitches.
Similarly I did the red ribbon. Enjoy!
