Have You Called Santa? Christmas Cats Counted Cross-Stitch Kit by Abris Art AHM-024

Stitch Have You Called Santa?, a Christmas counted cross-stitch kit by Abris Art — a big fluffy blue-grey cat and her kittens snuggled together in red Santa hats against a snowy winter-blue background. Worked on 100% cotton Aida in 18 colours of embroidery floss, it's a playful holiday design with lots of soft, furry texture.

A little stitcher's folklore: in many old households a cat curled up by the fire at Christmas was taken as a sign of a warm, contented year to come. Needleworkers say a Christmas picture finished before the holidays brings the family together under one roof — so set the last stitch before Christmas Eve and see who comes home.

Why this kit: if you want a holiday stitch you can actually finish in time, this compact design is made for it. The hoop is included and doubles as a frame, so it can go straight onto the wall or the tree. It's a cheerful project for beginners, a quick festive fix for experienced stitchers, and a Christmas gift every cat lover will treasure.

Kit includes: 100% cotton Aida canvas, a cross stitch needle, 18 colours of embroidery floss on an organizer, a printed symbol chart, an embroidery hoop, and instructions in 8 languages.

Counted cross stitch is worked by following the symbol chart and placing each cross on the Aida grid with the matching floss colour. Work the snowy background and fur first, then the bright Santa hats.

Finished size: 15×15 cm (5.91×5.91 in). Festive Christmas decor for a wall, shelf or mantel, and a handmade holiday gift for cat lovers.
