Happy release day friends! This is our sixth year doing holiday cross stitch ornaments and I couldn’t be more thrilled to show off this year’s designs! The Yuletide cross stitch features festive motifs that bring a traditional classic vibe to your holiday this year! I wanted these to feel old-school, vintage, and cozy too! The best part is that this stitch is totally beginner friendly! The motifs are small, but cute, and perfect for new stitchers, or experienced stitchers looking for a relaxing fun project!

The pattern includes instructions for both the individual ornaments, and for a whole cloth version. I stitched the ornaments and my tester helped me this year and stitched the whole cloth version for me too, so I have both to display! I can’t wait for the holiday season to start so I can decorate my space!
Finished Size:
- Ornaments: 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″

The pattern includes an easy-to-read full-page color-symbol charts for both the individual ornaments and the whole cloth version.
