A stern-looking Christmas nutcracker, his tall hat trimmed with holly, worked in cross stitch on a large-hole canvas that is already painted by hand: you follow the colours printed on the canvas instead of counting squares on a chart. The thick acrylic yarn covers quickly, so the piece grows fast even in short stitching sessions and is easy enough for children.
The kit covers only the front of the cushion cover: the pad and the backing fabric are bought separately, along with a little sewing thread for making up. Once finished, the panel can also be framed or used as a hanging Christmas decoration.
