Christmas Ornament in Cross Stitch “Santa Claus with a Tree” - Permin

This charming Permin cross-stitch kit is ideal for anyone who wants to create their own Christmas decorations. With this kit, you can embroider an ornament featuring a cheerful Santa Claus, with his red hat pulled down to his eyebrows, rosy cheeks, and a full white beard covering half his body. Between his hands, he holds a small green fir tree that peeks out from the folds of his beard, and black backstitching clearly defines his eyes, nose, and the contours of the figure against a deep red background. A red satin ribbon allows you to hang it up as soon as you finish.

Its small size of 6 x 8 cm makes it a quick and very rewarding project, perfect to embroider in an afternoon and hang on the tree, from decorative branches, or on a doorknob. The combination of red, white, and green on a very limited palette gives it that traditional Scandinavian decoration feel that works well with any style, and makes the work progress quickly despite the level of detail in the face. With the Aida fabric, Mouliné threads, and backing fabric already included, you have everything you need to assemble it from start to finish. A classic Christmas motif, also ideal as a gift tag or as the first piece in a collection of handmade ornaments.
