Van Gogh brick stitch pins
Six Van Gogh paintings as mini paintings to wear on a lapel: Starry Night, Sunflowers, Almond Blossom, Café Terrace at Night, Wheatfield with Crows and Irises. All are the same size, 18 beads by 18 rows, simply drawn, so they look like a series worn side by side. They are worked in brick stitch with no loom; every pattern lists its color codes and bead counts and comes with a printable PDF.

Frequently asked questions
How big are the pins?
All the same: 18 rows of 18 beads, about 2.9 × 2.3 cm (1.1 × 0.9 in). Each takes 324 beads.
How do I make it into a pin?
Stitch the pattern in brick stitch, glue or sew a piece of felt cut to size on the back, then sew a pin back onto the felt. Whip-stitching the felt to the edge beads gives a neat back.
Why do the sides zigzag?
In brick stitch each row sits half a bead over from the one before. With 18 beads in every row, both sides zigzag by half a bead; that is how brick stitch naturally looks.
Are these patterns free?
Yes. Open any pattern in BeadDot to edit it, or download the free PDF with the lettered chart, the materials list and the word chart.
