About this pattern
This Christmas village cross stitch pattern is a whole snowy lane in one long sampler: a bakery, a chapel with its bell, a green cottage, a toy shop, a half-timbered inn, a log cabin and, at the very end, your own house with your number above the door. Every window glows, and the chimneys puff away under falling snow.
I wanted something you could hang every December and still notice new little details, like the teddy bear in the toy shop window or the cake in the bakery.
What's inside
- Color, black & white and large print charts, plus a Pattern Keeper PDF and an OXS file
- Two colorways: soft day (light blue Aida) and glowing night (navy Aida)
- All 7 houses charted again on their own as bonus ornaments
- "Make it your house" worksheet: numbers and letters to put your house number or initials on the plaque
- Floss key with skein counts, stitch-time estimate, real-size preview and a progress tracker
Size: 212 x 80 stitches, 15.1 x 5.7 in on 14 count (13.2 x 5 in on 16 count, 11.8 x 4.4 in on 18 count). The house ornaments are about 2.5 to 3 in wide on 14 count.
How to use it: frame the whole row above the mantel, stitch it as a long runner for the shelf, or pick a single house for a tree ornament or a card. Stitch "Our House" with your number as a new-home or first-Christmas gift for someone you love.
Full stitches only, 15 DMC colors, intermediate. I suggest Light Blue Aida for the day version and Navy Aida for the night version.
Plus our free beginner cheat sheet and bonus minis with every order.
