May Needlepoint Pattern: Houndstooth Brick Cover

A vibrant reinterpretation of houndstooth for a brick cover

Introducing May’s needlepoint pattern!

Add a splash of color and pattern to your summer stitching with our free needlepoint design for this month - a vibrant pink and orange houndstooth brick cover. This project combines the classic houndstooth with vibrant shades to create a modern twist to a traditional pattern. Take it further by adding a cheeky saying or your monogram.

This brick cover-sized project is portable, making it an excellent choice for summer adventures, whether you're heading to the beach or on a road trip.

Happy stitching!

Instructions for working from a chart can be found here.

Finishing Your Pieces: When it comes to finishing your needlepoint projects, I recommend reaching out to your Local Needlepoint Shop or seamstress.

This brick can be finished as a doorstop, a handy tool to keep important items from floating away, or as @heirloomdesigns.studio in WA states, a chic bookend on your bookshelf!

Happy stitching, and may your needlepoint creations be as enchanting as the stories and poems that inspired them!
