Retro Backstitch Alphabet Cross Stitch Pattern

Chunky retro backstitch alphabet for bold monograms, modern samplers, and projects that want a confident vintage feel. Upper case A-Z and numbers 0-9, 3 stitches high.

Angular geometric letters with clean lines and strong shapes. Confident enough to carry a monogram on its own, neat enough to slot into a sampler. Use one strand for a finer look, or two for something bolder.
