クロスステッチで楽しむレース模様
Love the look of antique lace but would rather stitch it than crochet it? These lace cross stitch patterns by Saeko Endo turn fine borders, wreaths and figures into counted designs. Each of the 30 patterns is shown beside the real lace that inspired it, stitched in white on black, black on cream or white on navy for a delicate, timeless finish.
What Makes These Cross Stitch Lace Borders Different from Ordinary Pattern Books?
Most cross stitch books give you a picture to copy. This one starts from genuine lace, so the stitches create the open, airy look of real lace, with the original sample pictured beside many designs. The result feels far more refined than a typical sampler.
- Original lace photographed next to the stitched version
- One lace design stitched in different colour pairings

Endless Ways to Stitch Lace: One Row, One Flower or the Whole Border
You do not have to stitch a whole design. The book shows how a single flower or one row of a border becomes a charming small gift, and swapping thread and fabric colours changes the mood completely, from white on black to black on cream. It is a book to return to again and again.
- Borrow one motif for a purse, pouch or book cover
- Repeat a border for a table runner or cushion
Are These Counted Cross Stitch Lace Patterns Beginner-Friendly? Stitches Explained
A basics section covers materials and tools, how to handle embroidery floss, and the stitches themselves: cross stitch, half cross stitch, straight stitch, backstitch and the special stitches used in lace areas, plus a neat way to finish thread ends. Cross stitch for beginners works best with the small projects. Experienced stitchers will love the fine, dense full-width borders.
