Carol of the Bells K-289 Counted Cross-Stitch Kit

Bring festive spirit to your home with this Merejka Christmas cross-stitch kit — Carol of the Bells captures a snowy dusk walk home, with children bundled in bright winter coats carrying a star-shaped lantern and a sled, a small dog trotting alongside, and a warmly lit log cabin glowing among snow-laden pines. Stitched on Zweigart 16-count cappuccino Aida fabric using premium DMC threads in 38 carefully matched shades, this beautifully detailed design captures the warmth and magic of the holiday season.

Why this kit: 38 DMC shades render the soft pink-and-lavender dusk sky alongside warm cabin lighting and cool snow shadows; two backstitch chart options add fine detail to the children's coats, the lantern, and the dog or keep the scene softer; the cappuccino Aida ground gives the whole piece a warm, vintage-postcard feel.

Kit includes: Zweigart canvas, DMC threads, John James needles, and a colour chart.

Counted cross-stitch is worked by following the colour chart and placing each stitch on the gridded Aida fabric with the indicated DMC thread shade. Because both a with-backstitch and a without-backstitch version of the chart are included, the star lantern, cabin windows, and figures can be given crisp outlines or a softer, glowing finish. Work section by section until the design is complete, then frame as festive wall art or seasonal decor.

Finished size: 30x41 cm (11.81x16.14 in), creating a generous artwork that looks stunning when framed. A perfect Christmas crafting project and a wonderful handmade gift for needlework enthusiasts who enjoy a story-filled christmas counted cross stitch kit.
