Adding a different stitch to cross stitch can give it a new dimension. Rice stitch, which is very simple to master, because the first part is just a cross stitch, will give your work a fresh feel. Our pretty biscornu pincushion, with rice stitch and a woven edge, is an easy way to get started. Next, our summery necklace, which has a single rice stitch at the top, is easy to assemble – attach it to a card for a wedding or birthday gift. Finally, our bracelet has rice stitch between rose motifs, and is easy to finish with the metal crimp ends.
