About this pattern

Six small Christmas motifs in two rows of three, each inside a 16 by 16 stitch square: a gold bell with a red top, a red candle with a gold flame in a green dish, a green gift box tied with red ribbon and a bow, a red stocking with a white cuff and a green heel and toe, a gold five-point star and a red and white striped candy cane. Each is outlined in dark brown and can be stitched alone. The whole sheet is 53 by 35 stitches and uses five thread colors.

53 stitches wide by 35 high: 856 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Red 321, Medium Topaz 783 and 2 more).
