About this pattern

A tall, narrow bookmark of three old-fashioned Christmas ornaments strung one below another from a red bow: a round red ball with a gold line and a white scalloped band, a teal teardrop with white and gold stripes, and a pointed drop with a red top and gold and white chevrons. Each has a gold cap. It uses eight thread colors.

27 stitches wide by 115 high: 1,496 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Red 321, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Winter White 3865 and 5 more).
