The designs run through the season's most familiar icons -- a candy cane, a snowflake, a gingerbread man, a decorated tree, a striped ornament, holly and berries, a little bird, a bell, a stocking, a Santa hat and more -- worked in soft reds, pinks, greens, and blue on a pale background. Stitched on Cloud Lugana, each motif finishes at about 2-1\/4 inches square, just the right size to mount as a round ornament for the tree, tuck onto a gift, top a jar lid, or cluster on a tiered tray. The palette leans sweet and a little vintage rather than bright primary Christmas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the Pattern Includes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis listing is for the printed cross stitch pattern only.

Each ornament is only 28 stitches square, so a single design comes together in an evening or two, and the little stack of finished motifs grows fast. That makes it an easy set to pick up and put down through a busy December, or to split among friends for a group stitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause every design shares the same count, palette, and finished size, the twelve ornaments read as a collection even though each one stands on its own. Stitch all twelve for a full set, or pick a handful of favorites for gifts and keep the rest for the tree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe finishing is half the fun. Mounted in a tart tin or on a round sticky board with a ribbon loop, these go from flat stitched circles to little dimensional ornaments that look at home on a tree, a wreath, a gift, or a tiered tray. The small scale and short color list keep the counting manageable, so the focus stays on the part that feels like play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e It's Sew Emma\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem #:\u003c\/strong\u003e ISE-4097\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lori Holt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fat Quarter Shop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cross Stitch Pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSkill Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Confident Beginner (small designs, a short eight-color palette, and full cross stitch on an even count keep this approachable for stitchers with a little counted experience)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStitch Count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 28w x 28h per design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStitches:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full cross stitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinished Sizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e About 2-1\/4\" x 2-1\/4\" per design (twelve designs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Fabric:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25-count Lugana (model uses Cloud by Lori Holt for Zweigart, VC25-CLOUD)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFloss:\u003c\/strong\u003e Classic Colorworks or DMC (eight colors)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Printed Pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade in the United States\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"It's Sew Emma","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48306686591224,"sku":"ISE-4097","price":12.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0632\/0196\/8376\/files\/ISE-4097.jpg?v=1779997384","url":"https:\/\/smartisans.com\/products\/12-days-of-christmas-ornaments-cross-stitch-pattern-from-its-sew-emma","provider":"Smartisans","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
