Islamic Cross Stitch

According to Ariela Pelaia, About.com Guide to Judaism, "A hamsa is an amulet shaped like a hand, with three extended fingers in the middle and a curved thumb or pinky finger on either side. It is thought to protect against the "evil eye" and is a popular motif in both Jewish and Middle Eastern jewelry."I have also seen hamsa used in embroidery projects, so I decided to design some simple Hamsa Cross Stitch Patterns.
