Tried my hand at cross-stitch on crochet. Made this crochet jacket for my sister using cross-stitch on crochet for the first time. It took lots of time and a good deal of frogging and unpicking mistakes, but I love how it looks. I’m an old hand at crochet, but I have never done cross stitch before – I think the larger size of it made it easier to see and do. I have done tapestry crochet before, but I find it tough for small patterns and frequent colour changes. This (to me) is a much better option. The kitties on the jacket (two pockets and the back panel) are my sweet nephews and nieces. To plan out the pattern, I mixed using Excel as some weird version of a cross-stitch planner for key sections, and filling in small sections with random flowers.
