Northern Christmasa Cross Stitch Pattern by Jan Hicks Creates

Stitch Count: 119 x 113 14 ct (over 1 ) or 28 ct (over 2) - 8.5 x 8.1 in. 16 ct (over 1 ) or 32 ct (over 2) - 7.4 x 7.1 in. 18 ct (over 1) or 36 ct (over 2) - 6.6 x 6.3 in. 20 c t (over 1) or 40 ct (over 2) - 6 x 5.7 in. My vision of a Northern Christmas is a Christmas filled with pine trees, snow, reindeer, warm sweaters with interesting colorwork, snow, colorful ornaments and snow! Stitched in the traditional colors of Christmas, with a sprinkling of aqua to add a pop of fun and the warm browns of a cup of hot chocolate, Northern Christmas will make you nostalgic for that unique quiet of a snow-filled landscape. The model is stitched on 40 ct River Gum by Fox and Rabbit using the listed Belle Soie silks. As you can see, a DMC conversion is provided as well. While I chose a darker, spruce-colored fabric, this would be equally lovely on gold-tones or other greens. Natural, raw linen colors would also be lovely. I recommend avoiding lighter colored fabrics so you don't lose all of the "snow". Please honor the hours of work and creativity that I put into my designs. Do not distribute printed or digital copies of my designs. Copyright © Jan Hicks Creates 2026 All Rights Reserved
