Christmas Basket in Cross Stitch “Santa Claus and Snowman” | Permin

Christmas accessory in jute fabric for cross-stitch embroidery, with a cute design of Santa Claus and a snowman peeking over the edge. With their red hats, one speckled with white and the other with a pom-pom, the two characters seem to be curiously spying on what is inside. A border of red zigzag stitches runs along the entire piece and finishes the design with that Nordic flair so characteristic of Permin.

The basket, with its natural jute fabric and side handles, stands on its own and is perfect for placing small gifts at the foot of the tree, presenting Christmas sweets on the table, or storing decorations and skeins of yarn. Finished, it measures 30 x 22 cm, a size with enough presence to become the decorative centerpiece of a sideboard.

The embroidery is worked as a long band that runs along the entire perimeter, with only 5 colors of acrylic thread on 10 ct jute. That combination of open weave and reduced palette makes the work progress very quickly: in just a few sessions you will have a finished piece, without the constant thread changes required by a multi-colored embroidery. Ideal for refreshing the decor every December or for giving as a gift filled with details.
