The booklet has and I have also, included a chart of the stitches used that is helpful for beginners.

The booklet also includes a fun tidbit:

Hardanger embroidery is named for the Hardanger district and fiord in Western Norway. Although usually classified as Norwegian embroidery, the work in its original form is very old, being worked long ago in Persia and other Asiatic countries in colored silks on very fine gauge netting.

You’ll Need Sharp Scissors

Hardanger work requires a sharp pair of scissors with pointed ends. It’s delicate work cutting close to the threads edge to create the design.

I bought these exact scissors a couple months ago. I find that they are sturdy, made of stainless steel and come with a blade cap to keep the points sharp and safe. The soft ergonomic handle (in Very Berry) is comfortable to use.

What Else Will I Need?

Here are some items besides the sharp scissors you’ll need to start this project.

FABRIC — You’ll need Hardanger canvas or any fabric woven with a square mesh. Counting squares is a very important part of this type of embroidery.

One yard of fabric 42 inches wide. Each placemat measures 12½ x 18 inches and the centerpiece measures 12½ x 26 inches.

THREAD — Pearl Cotton (Perle) No. 8. You can find this in skeins or balls of thread. A set of two placemats and one centerpiece requires seven balls of No. 8 thread. Each additional placemat requires two balls.
