About this pattern

A small winter sampler of three boxes inside one dark brown line frame. At the top left is a blue snowflake with six arms; at the top right a green pine tree with white snow on each of its three tiers and a dark trunk. The wide bottom box holds a red bobble hat with a blue stripe, a white brim and a white pom-pom, set between a pair of red mittens with blue stripes and white cuffs that mirror each other. The tree, hat and mittens are closed in a dark brown outline; the snowflake is plain blue. Full crosses only. It is 57 by 53 stitches and uses five thread colors.

57 stitches wide by 53 high: 1,181 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Red 321, Winter White 3865 and 2 more).
