Happy Holiday Counted Cross Stitch Kit by Merejka K-194

Bring festive spirit to your home with this Merejka Christmas cross-stitch kit — Happy Holiday arranges bright red poinsettias, berries, and pine sprigs in a red enamel pitcher, with gold star ornaments and baubles scattered below, set against a snowy village skyline complete with a lit church and a small Christmas tree. Stitched on Zweigart 16-count ice blue Aida fabric using premium DMC threads in 26 rich shades, this beautifully detailed design captures the warmth and magic of the holiday season.

Why this kit: 26 DMC shades carry the deep reds of the poinsettias against the cool, snowy background; the layered still life of flowers, ornaments, and village skyline gives the design more depth than a single motif; it's a genuine christmas counted cross stitch kit that works equally well as decor or a gift.

Kit includes: Zweigart canvas, DMC threads, John James needles, and a colour chart, plus two pattern versions — with and without backstitches — so the preferred level of detail can be chosen.

Counted cross-stitch is worked by following the colour chart and placing each stitch on the gridded Aida fabric with the indicated DMC thread color; the backstitch version defines the pitcher's outline, ornament highlights, and village rooftops, while the version without backstitches keeps the snowy backdrop softly blended. Work section by section until the design is complete, then frame it as festive wall art or a gift.

Finished size: 18x24 cm (7.09x9.45 in) — an elegant mid-sized project ideal for framing or gifting. A perfect Christmas crafting project and a wonderful handmade gift for needlework enthusiasts.
