Breakfast foods needlepoint patterns

Breakfast to stitch includes several styles of croissant, each lying flat, and three styles of blueberry muffin in a paper cup.

The croissant is a crescent with its two tips curving down, nearly the same on the left and the right. The muffin has a gold or tan top dotted with navy blueberries and stands in a paper cup, with loose berries beside it; in the folk art and whimsical designs the cup is in upright stripes, steady to count, so work the cup first and set the top on it. All are on a four-inch square for 18 mesh, and many can be made round. Where the layers of a croissant are shaded in close colors, compare the threads first. Levels run from beginner to advanced; each page gives its level and its thread list.
