Bookmark - Christmas gnomes (2)

Two Christmas bookmarks with red-hatted gnomes, framed by a red border and dotted with berries, holly and snowflakes. They are small pieces that grow quickly, so they make a handy gift to prepare before the holidays, on their own or tucked into a book.

You stitch by counting squares on the chart, usually with two strands of stranded cotton, and a few details are worked in long stitch. Everything you need is in the kit, ribbon included; you only need to add small scissors and, if you prefer the fabric taut, a hoop or frame. Once the stitching is done, finish the edges and attach the ribbon so the bookmark can hang from the page.
