Twelve days of Christmas needlepoint patterns

The twelve days of Christmas: nine of the carol's twelve gifts are here, from the partridge in a pear tree to the twelve drummers drumming.

The calling birds and the geese are drawn in several styles, the rest in one or two, all on a four-inch square for 18 mesh. A set is a long project and no one style has all nine gifts, so expect to mix styles and begin well ahead. Most are marked intermediate; each page gives its level and its thread list.
