Christmas Trailer

A Christmas scene full of detail: the lit-up caravan, the chairs with their red cushions, the snowman and the tree hung with baubles tell the story of a winter evening out in the woods. The design is worked in counted cross stitch on 16 count Aida, a fine count that renders the colour shifts in the sky and the snow nicely.

Given its size and the number of shades, this is a project for stitchers with some experience: it helps to sort the threads onto an organiser and to work the chart area by area. Besides the kit you will need small scissors, a hoop or frame large enough for the piece and, at the end, a frame, which is not included. The result is a picture to hang up every December.
