About this pattern

A lit red candle stands in a brass chamberstick, the low candle holder with a wide saucer and a ring handle for one finger. The candle is lighter red down its left side and darker down its right, with a short dark wick and a gold teardrop flame with a pale yellow heart. A holly leaf stands up at a slant on each side of it, dark green on one half and lighter on the other, with a pale midrib and spined edges, and two round red berries with a pale glint sit at the foot of each leaf on the rim of the saucer.

62 stitches wide by 49 high: 1,271 full cross stitches in 10 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Medium Topaz 783, Red 321 and 7 more).
