A ready-made table runner to work in counted cross stitch from the chart: the Christmas design runs along the whole strip, with a decorated topiary tree above a pile of presents and a border of reindeer and snowflakes. With only 14 colours the stitching moves along quickly, and the runner needs no making up: the edges are already finished.
You will also want a hoop or frame and a small pair of embroidery scissors. The linen-and-polyester Aida washes easily, so the runner stands up to everyday use over the holidays, on a dining table or a sideboard, and makes a thoughtful Christmas gift.
