Punch needle patterns: rainbow, mushroom and leopard

A punch-needle pattern has to stay chunky — nothing smaller than a loop of yarn can fill. These nine pattern a five-band rainbow, a fat toadstool and a leopard face, each drawn three ways — a heavy bold outline, a fine trace line meant to vanish under the yarn, and a full colorway showing the finished wool colours. Reversed for tracing onto monk's cloth.

Frequently asked questions

Is the pattern reversed for tracing?

Yes — the bold and fine-trace versions are mirrored left to right for tracing onto monk's cloth from the back.

What size does the pattern print at?

A square sheet with a margin, the regions sized wide enough for loops of thick yarn.

Can I get a different motif?

Yes — use the direction field to ask for a smiling sun or another motif, drawn the same three ways.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
