About this pattern

I wanted an Advent piece that feels warm rather than formal. Here are four candles (three purple and one rose for the third Sunday) standing in a full evergreen wreath with holly berries and a red bow. 'Advent' sits above, and the four weeks, Hope, Peace, Joy and Love, are stitched below.

There are ten colors and the candles are big, simple blocks, so it's a satisfying stitch with lots of easy progress. The wreath takes a little more attention, which makes it a good evening project with a cup of tea.

It's 100 x 100 stitches, about 7.1 inches square on 14-count, and charted for antique white Aida.

I love the idea of starting it in November and hanging it on the first Sunday of Advent. It also makes a lovely gift for a family who lights the candles together each week.

Questions

How do I get my pattern?

Right after checkout you land on your order page with download links for every file, plus a "download all" zip. Links work for 7 days, and you can reopen your order page anytime to get fresh links.

Is this a physical kit?

No. This is a digital PDF download. No fabric, thread or hoop is included and nothing is shipped. The floss key lists every DMC color you need.

How do I print it?

Print at 100% scale (or "actual size") on US Letter or A4 paper. The black & white chart saves ink and is easy to read. You can also stitch straight from a tablet.

Does it work with Pattern Keeper?

Yes. A Pattern Keeper friendly PDF is included, so you can import it and mark stitches off as you go. Backstitch (if any) is listed separately, because Pattern Keeper only tracks full crosses.

What is the free bonus pack?

Every order comes with a little thank-you: my one-page beginner cheat sheet and 3 bonus mini patterns (a star ornament, a tiny tree and a little mushroom). They appear on your order page next to your patterns.

Is there a discount if I buy several patterns?

Yes. Buy any 3 or more individual patterns or sets and each one is 25% off, applied automatically in your cart. Bundles already have their own price. During a shop-wide sale you always get the single best discount (they don't stack).

What if something is wrong with my file?

If a file has a problem, we'll fix it or refund you. Just send Sara a message. See the refund policy for details.
