A Christmas scene with a vintage feel: Santa puts the star on the top of the tree while the woodland animals look on and the snow drifts down. The pale blue fabric sets off the snowflakes, worked with the fluffy thread and with beads that go on at the end, once the cross stitching is done.
It is counted work, following the chart: alongside cross stitch you will need back stitch for the outlines and French knots for small details, so it suits someone with a little stitching experience. A hoop or frame and a small pair of scissors are handy too. The picture frame is not included: the finished square can be framed or made up into a festive cushion.
