Two Iconic British Symbols in One Free Cross Stitch Pattern. Stonehenge and the Red British Phone Booth.
If you are a regular visitor to Hancock's House of Happy you will know that the lady of the house is a sucker for a good pun. This free Phonehenge/Stonehenge cross stitch pattern combines the iconic red British phone box with a distinctly Druidic arrangement.
In this free cross stitch design combining Stonehenge and the red phone box, the now defunct temple of telecommunications is reclaimed by the creatures of the British countryside. You don't need to cross stitch the whole thing. One of the red phone boxes on its own would make a cute cross stitched gift for any Anglophile friend.
I was inspired to make this British red phone booth cross stitch design some time ago. While on a train going through the country we passed a British red phone box graveyard. Hundreds of the things rotting and rusting into cel phone induced obscurity.
It made me think about how permanent that symbol of the red phone booth is in our cultural consciousness but also about how transient the actual items are. Unlike Stonehenge which has stood for thousands of years.
This is a pretty challenging cross stitch pattern. It has lots of wonderful back stitched details as well as a few french knots in there! If you are not comfortable with french knots (they aren't my favourite) you can substitute some black seed beads.
