Materials You'll Need:
- Punch needle
- Yarn (worsted weight or embroidery floss)
- Fabric (monk's cloth or linen)
- Embroidery hoop
- Scissors
- Needle and thread
- Optional: felt, beads, or other embellishments
Instructions:
- Prepare your fabric: Stretch your fabric tautly in the embroidery hoop.
- Choose your pattern: Faustine offers a variety of free patterns on her website. Trace the desired pattern onto your fabric using a pencil.
- Thread your punch needle: Insert the yarn into the needle and pull it through, leaving a tail of about 6 inches.
- Start punching: Hold the needle perpendicular to the fabric and gently push it down through the fabric, exiting at the pencil line. Pull the needle back up through the fabric, creating a loop-pile stitch.
- Continue punching: Work your way around the pattern, punching stitches closely together to create a dense, raised texture.
- Finish your friend: Once the embroidery is complete, trim any excess yarn and secure the loose ends. Add any desired embellishments, such as felt details for eyes and noses.
