Christmas Cards - Polar Pals

A little polar bear in a Santa hat, with a robin for company, stitched on winter blue Aida. The finished piece slips into the cream triple-fold card included in the kit, ready to post or hand over in person, and the person who receives it can keep it or frame it later.

It is worked in counted cross stitch from the chart, with back stitch outlines and a single French knot; the Lana threads add a soft, fluffy texture to the fur and the snow. Everything you need is in the box, threads included — you only need small scissors, perhaps a little hoop, and some double-sided tape to mount the stitching in the card.
