Let’s get ready for the holidays with some festive cross-stitch! The Christmas Spools cross stitch perfectly accompanies my Christmas Spools quilt pattern! The design features adorable nutcracker motifs and a traditional Irish chain, capturing the season’s magic.

Worried about your stitching skills? Don’t be! This pattern is specifically designed with beginners in mind. It features simple, clear instructions and an easy-to-follow chart, perfect for beginners and experienced stitchers as well. The pattern includes a full-page color chart with symbols, making them perfect for those who are new to cross-stitching or want a festive project that’s perfect for a relaxing cozy evening!
I chose platinum 14-Count Aida cloth for this piece, giving it a charming, festive vibe. It also pairs beautifully with the vibrant DMC floss colors, making it a joy to stitch.
Once your stitching is complete, finishing your piece is a breeze! The finishing instructions are included in the pattern, and I have several finishing videos available on YouTube if you need more ideas as well.
