A pattern stitched onto fabric, its like a square, made up of angular lines jutting out at both sides of the square.

A stitched pattern, it is circular pattern with 'branches' going round the outside and side of the circle.

We had a creative time making trees and tree patterns in @turtlestitch.bsky.social at #Fosdem
