About this pattern

A round green Christmas wreath with a lit candle standing in the middle of it. The wreath is a smooth ring in two greens, lighter outside and darker along its inner edge, with six round red berries set evenly round it and a small red ribbon bow at the bottom whose two dark red tails hang just below the ring. The stout pale yellow candle rises from behind the bottom of the wreath, shaded gold down its right side, with a dark wick and a gold teardrop flame with a pale heart. No leaves or needles are drawn on the ring. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only.

47 stitches wide by 51 high: 1,242 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Hunter Green 3346, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Ultra Dark Pistachio Green 890 and 4 more).
