A Christmas scene with a house in the night, worked in counted cross stitch from the chart: the design is not printed on the fabric, so you start from the centre and count the stitches. Fabric, threads, needle and instructions are all in the box, so you can begin as soon as the parcel arrives.
16-count Aida has a close weave: the stitches come out small and crisp, and good light makes the work easier. You will also need a hoop or frame to keep the fabric taut, as one is not included. Once finished, the piece can be framed and brought out every December, or mounted as a panel or cushion among your Christmas decorations.
