I've been eagerly anticipating the second half of the first round. I've checked for it every day, even though I knew when it was due. And then I opened tumblr this evening and there it was! Thank you <3
Oh!! I'm so glad to receive this! Thank you, I'm so glad you're enjoying the tournament! :D
And yes, sorry, it is a bit late going up 😅-- the busyness et cetera of this time of year-- some of the other rounds may go up a little late, too, but I do believe I can keep them from being impossibly so. :)
Thank you very much for your kind ask!

Cross-Stitch Pattern of the Year 2024
Seen a cool pattern lately? It's time to share it with the class!
Submissions are OPEN for the Cross Stitch Pattern of the Year tournament: a chance to look at some cool embroidery and admire patterns from the present-- and the past!
Rules:
One pattern per person, please
And that's the only rule!
Specifically: the Pattern of the Year does NOT have to be one that was released/stitched/worked on in 2024-- any pattern from any year is eligible for Pattern of the Year 2024. So send in something cool, or funny, or beautiful, and we'll have some fun!
Submissions close at 11:59pm on December 3rd. If there are too many patterns submitted (unlikely), I'll throw them in a blender and select a random mix (enough to make some kinda power of 2). If there are too few, remaining slots will be filled with random patterns from the Cyberstitchers.com Pattern Directory.
The tournament will begin on either December 4th or 5th.
Submit your pattern here to enter it in the tournament! May the best pattern win 🏆
Pattern of the Year: Semifinals
Neon Cicada
The Unicorn's Garden
Neon Cicada by BAD Stitch
Propaganda: For the timeliness (year of the cicada and also screaming feels appropo) and how gorgeous those rainbow wings are
Additional Propaganda (from the second submitter): 2024 was the year that two cicada broods awoke from long hibernations and amassed upon North America. This pattern depicts a cicada in a more pleasing, vaporwave palette.
