Autumn Acorns & Oak Leaves Cross Stitch Border

Bring the warmth of autumn to your home with this Thanksgiving cross stitch pattern featuring golden acorns and rustic oak leaves. Designed as a long decorative border, this pattern is especially beautiful stitched along tablecloths, table runners, napkins, kitchen linens, towels, or seasonal home décor.

The warm shades of burnt orange, golden yellow and earthy brown create a traditional cottagecore fall look that works beautifully from early autumn through Thanksgiving.

With only 7 solid colors, the design is approachable and relaxing to stitch while the backstitch details give the acorns and leaves their crisp, finished appearance.

 🧵 Stitching Experience
This is a small, low-color cross stitch project with only seven solid colors and no blended threads. The larger areas of continuous color make the cross stitches pleasant to work, while the backstitching adds the characteristic details and definition to the acorns and oak leaves.
Because of its long, narrow shape, it is an excellent choice for stitchers looking for a seasonal project that can easily be adapted to table linens, napkins, towels and decorative borders.
