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.

The creations

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.
