About this pattern

Six iced Christmas cookies laid out in two rows of three on a gray metal baking tray, seen from straight above. Top row: a star with yellow icing, a green Christmas tree dotted with six red sugar balls, and a red mitten with a white cuff. Bottom row: a gingerbread man with white icing at his wrists and ankles and two white buttons, a round cookie iced pale blue with a white snowflake, and a yellow bell with a red band. A pale golden baked edge shows round the icing of every cookie but the gingerbread man, who is plain copper brown.

63 stitches wide by 45 high: 2,823 full cross stitches in 10 DMC colors (Pearl Gray 415, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Light Steel Gray 318 and 7 more).
