About this pattern
This personalized Our First Christmas cross stitch pattern is made for two: a pair of mittens hanging from a ribbon bow, the year between them, and both your names stacked with a little heart in the middle. Each name gets its own line, so long names never have to squeeze.
What's inside
- The full ornament chart with the sample names OLIVIA and JAMES, in color, black and white, large print and a Pattern Keeper file
- Three alphabets with numbers: Hearth Bold for names up to 8 letters, Hearth Narrow (same height) for up to 12, and Tiny Caps for the year
- A name-spacing worksheet with a worked example, simple centering steps and a blank ornament to plan on
- Two colorways: Classic Red & Sage, and Blush Wedding
- Felt-back ornament circle templates, a real-size page, a stitch-time estimate and a progress tracker
Size: 67 x 67 stitches, about 4.8 in on 14 count, 4.2 in on 16 count or 3.7 in on 18 count. Full stitches with two short backstitch ribbons, 6 colors.
Finish it as a round felt-backed ornament, or display it in a 6 inch hoop (a 5 inch hoop on 16 or 18 count). It's a lovely wedding or engagement gift, a first-home keepsake, or a surprise for your own first married Christmas. Prefer "MR & MRS" with your family name? The worksheet shows how.
I suggest Antique White Aida, which looks lovely with both colorways.
Plus our free beginner cheat sheet and bonus minis with every order.
