I believe this is called Palm Leaf stitch.
Choose a yarn thick enough to cover the canvas rug (beware, it eats yarn) and follow the numbers in the diagram above. Bring the needle up in square 1 (bottom centre) and put it in square 2. Follow with the rest of the numbers. Bring the needle up in odd numbers squares (column in the middle) and put it in the squares with even numbers. It can be worked counter- or clockwise.

Now the crocheted cushions are also available from the Blanket Store, a lovely shop in Frankfurt selling wool blankets from 18 different countries. If you happen to be around, don't forget to visit it!

Oh this looks like a work for winter, I will remember this pretty thing dear Karen! Thank you. Leaves, they do fill my ears with their brittle sound today.
I will be in Frankfurt in late June, though it will be very busy time, I will sure go to see your blankets! (Because it is where the lovely market hall is too.)
Happy Tuesday!

Anna – Sí! This is a perfect craft for cold weather, especially after a long walk crunching dry leaves...
Hope you can pay a visit to the BS while in FRA :)

Oh, thanks for pointing to the Blanket Store - that's such an amazing idea. I love wool blankets.
If there also was a tea store next door on one side and a little bookshop on the other it would be a dream...
Rosali y Tortuga Rebelde – Gracias por visitar!

I really want to re-create this. What type of wool did you use? I suppose it would have to be fairly sturdy to hold up with walking on it. This is a wonderful idea and i can't wait to get started.
I recommend you use the thickest wool available for the size of canvas you'll be working with. Good luck.
hello. this is a beautiful stitch and I was just wondering where I can get a video tutorial on the stitch. lovely blog by the way.
