An Advent calendar to stitch: two elks in red scarves and Santa hats, surrounded by the numbers 1 to 24 for hanging a small treat each day. The canvas is painted by hand, so the colours are followed straight on the fabric with no counting, and the large holes and chunky acrylic yarns make the work grow quickly — handy if you are fairly new to stitching.
Once finished, the panel just needs its edges neatened before hanging. The wooden rod and hooks shown in the photo are not included: you will need a dowel or a ribbon and, for the little gift bags, small hooks or eyelets.
