Blue Doodles Needlepoint

This fun, free needlepoint pattern lets you try a bunch of different needlepoint stitches and works up quickly.

It's a bit like a needlepoint doodle

Working a doodle is a great way to try out different stitch combinations when designing a pattern, or deciding on filling stitches for a painted canvas.

In this needlepoint doodle, I have used tapestry wool on 13-mesh needlepoint canvas to test my stitches.

The charted design and stitch key can be found in the next 2 steps.
