If you fancy a lovely project to do on the run up to Christmas, join in the fun with this festive themed stitch-a-long project! This one is going to be the biggest pattern the designer has ever done, but don't get worried - it can be broken down into 24 bite-sized pieces so it really shouldn't overwhelm you.

The design is perfect for beginners as it uses mainly full cross stitches, with only a few back stitches, and has lots of little interesting motifs for you to do one at a time.

This is a lovely project that you can stitch at your own pace and enjoy for many years as a Christmas decoration.

Printed Chart option is:

• A full colour counted cross stitch pattern

• Key for DMC threads

• Tips and Tricks leaflet

Cross stitch dimensions:

The pattern ends up approx 42cm x 28cm when stitched on 14ct Aida.

This listing is for the pattern only.

Add a DMC thread pack: choose the "Pattern + DMC thread pack" option above and we'll include all 17 DMC colours you need (+£25.50).

Embroidery hoops: we stock wooden embroidery hoops – for this larger design we recommend the 12" hoop, moving it along as you stitch each section. Browse our 20.3cm/8" hoop and 30.5cm/12" hoop.

Aida and needles are also available – just email us at shop@coastandcountrycrafts.co.uk and we'll be happy to help.
