2019 Holiday SAL: Christmas Village Cross Stitch Pattern
Welcome to our 2019 Holiday Stitch-A-Long! This 4-Part Series features cute & festive snowmen, bunnies, deer, a tree farm, people, Christmas trees, and Santa, of course! Plus a holiday rhyme on every section.
This design can be stitched together as one large Festive Sampler, but if you prefer to try a different finish, each section of this design can also be stitched and finished into a Stackable Drum. There are 4 bonus circle designs (to use as the top of the drums) along with finishing instructions to make up the drums.
The Border Layout PDF & Instructions on how to finish the drums are available here
This chart uses 16 DMC colors (1 skein unless otherwise stated): white (5 - 6 skeins), 945, 726, 604, 3801, 304, 704, 703, 702, 700, 747 (2 skeins), 959, 3848 (2 skeins), 435, 610, and 844
