Castle needlepoint patterns

Castles, among them a fairy-tale castle with a central gatehouse and an arched door, and the sleeping castle of Briar Rose.

The first faces front and comes in several styles; the castle of Briar Rose is one tower overgrown with wild roses. All are four inches square on 18 mesh. Walls and towers are straight lines on the grid, which makes them steady to count; most are marked intermediate.
