Long Dog Samplers Squint Cross Stitch Pattern

This is a printed cross stitch pattern from Long Dog Samplers featuring Squint, a striking monochrome sampler centered around a giant keyhole inspired by the architectural church feature known as a hagioscope or "squint." Within the ornate frame, elephants, heraldic lions, floral motifs, candles, and decorative borders are arranged in a richly detailed symmetrical composition that invites closer inspection. Worked in a single color, the design showcases Long Dog Samplers' signature blend of traditional symbolism, whimsical storytelling, and intricate pattern work. A captivating project for stitchers who enjoy large monochrome samplers, historic influences, and imaginative cross stitch designs.
