This Wenche Thikke - Old English Cross Stitch Pattern

File Type: PDF For Personal Use Only

My absolutely favourite reference from Chaucer’s “The Canterbury Tales” which was written in the late 1300s. The full snippet reads: "This wenche thikke and wel y-growen was, With camuse nose and yën greye as glas; With buttokes brode and brestes rounde and hye, But right fair was hir heer, I wol nat lye." Which roughly translates into: "This wench was thick and well-grown With a pug nose and eyes grey as glass; With buttocks broad and breasts round and high, But right fair was her hair, I will not lie." As such, this pattern is dedicated to Chaucer and Sir Mix-A-Lot, who both love big butts and cannot lie 😄 Chart Dimensions 131 stitches wide x 125 stitches high Chart is charted for Aida 16ct but you can use any count you are comfortable with!
