Christmas Mystery Stitchalong Week 2
Today we are adding a Christmas Tree!
This week I'll be using these threads:
For the pot: DMC 869 (backstitch)
For the heart: DMC 349 (backstitch)
For the tree straight lines: DMC3346 (backstitch)
For the leaves: DMC 470 (Lazy Daisies) with only 1 strand of thread
For the stars on the pot: DMC 725 (straight stitch) with only 1 strand of thread
For the dots at the end of the branches: DMC 725 (French or Colonial knots)
Strands of Thread
Please note that I generally use two strands of thread for all my stitching, but since the leaves and stars are quite small, I am using only one strand.
"HOW TO" FOR THE NEXT STEP IN THE STITCHALONG
Download the updated pattern below, print it out, and add to your stitchery by tracing the Christmas tree… and then start stitching!
Happy Stitching...... oh, just a question - do you have your tree up already?
