This Merry Christmas cross stitch pattern in a German vintage style is a colourful hoop counted cross stitch PDF with modern lettering and bright colours. Ideal as a holiday gift, Christmas crafts or DIY decoration, it features a detailed lettering style, along with snowflakes, hearts and holly. The finished piece fits into a 6” hooped embroidery frame when stitched on 14 count Aida.
It’s an easy Christmas cross stitch pattern with no backstitches or half stitches and included are instructions on dyeing white or cream Aida fabric to a darker colour using a common household ingredient, so the white stands out more (just like the photo).
