Mistletoe needlepoint patterns

A hanging bunch of mistletoe, upright and close to mirrored, with paddle-shaped leaves and berries in the forks.

Forking stems carry pairs of narrow, blunt leaves, with the berries singly or in twos and threes. It is drawn in several styles. All are four inches square on 18 mesh, and most are marked intermediate; most can be made round. Each berry is a small circle, so count it whole; begin early for Christmas.
