trees, stars and red hats
Christmas cross-stitch patterns
Trees, baubles, stars and snowmen: charts to stitch Christmas, as ornaments to hang or as gifts to give.
Red, green and a touch of gold
A clear red (DMC 321) and a fir green (DMC 699) are the base of almost every Christmas chart. A white for the snow and a golden yellow for the stars, and the rest follows.
Stitching in time for the 24th
A small 40-stitch subject takes a week of evenings; a large 100-stitch picture more like two months. Start early, or choose a set of small ornaments to hang on the tree.
