Runner - Reindeer

A ready-made Christmas table runner with the design printed straight onto the fabric: you work cross stitch over the printed squares, with no counting and no hemming to do at the end. The motif runs across both ends, with reindeer, fir trees and geometric Nordic borders stitched in a single colour.

Using one thread colour keeps the work quick and easy even with little experience, and the printed design washes out, so any marks left uncovered will disappear. All you may want to add is a hoop or frame to keep the fabric taut. Once finished, the runner is ready to use on the table or on a sideboard over the holidays.
