Is there anything cuter than a teddy bear at Christmas time? This bear is working overtime to get the Christmas tree decorated before the big day arrives. The ornaments and garland have all been carefully placed. Now it's time to top it off with a star before celebrating with family and friends.
This Christmas cross stitch design measures 114 stitches wide by 124 stitches high. The chart is graphed in black and white symbols. A table showing the DMC colors you'll need is included. The instructions are in leaflet form, with the pattern printed over 2 pages in the center, so there is no need to match page edges. The pattern calls for beads to be used for the garland on the tree. This adorable teddy bear cross stitch design was created by Jennifer L. Aikman-Smith, of Dragon Dreams. Our current stock has patterns signed by the designer.
This is a pattern for counted cross stitch. It is not a complete kit. You will need to supply your own fabric and floss. We are not able to offer digital downloads of our patterns at this time.
How much fabric do I need?
To calculate the amount of fabric you will need for your project, divide the number of stitches by the stitch count of the fabric you wish to use. The higher the count of your fabric, the smaller your piece will be. Some examples appear below. Remember to leave several additional inches as a border on each side, to facilitate framing your project when it is finished.
Fabric count | Approximate size of stitched area |
---|
14-count | 8 1/4" × 8 3/4" |
18-count | 6 1/4" × 7" |
25-count | 4 1/2" × 5" |
