Christmas Dogs AND Christmas Cats cross stitch patterns
This listing is to purchase BOTH the Christmas Dogs and Christmas Cats cross stitch patterns. These designs were previously released as stitchalongs, and the full patterns are now available. They are really fun, cute and easy to stitch matching designs celebrating cats, dogs and Christmas!
The two designs are also available individually here: Christmas Dogs and Christmas Cats
The patterns are designed to be framed in 10 inch hoops if you stitch on 14 count fabric, as shown in the pictures. The pattern booklets also includes optional stitched circles around the designs, so that if you are stitching on a different count fabric or don’t want to mount the pieces in hoops, you can stitch the circles and then frame them in any other way.
The patterns use full cross stitches, and a tiny amount of backstitch (in the cats’ whiskers only).
You will receive four 14-page pattern booklet PDFs, one with colour patterns and one with black & white patterns for both the cats and dogs designs. The booklets contain:
• Image of the completed piece
• The full pattern on one page, for screen use
• The full pattern over four pages, for printing
• Close up single page patterns of every cat or dog
• Instructions and thread key
You will also receive full cross stitch instructions.

The stitched area of the finished pieces, allowing for the hoop, is:
140 stitches wide x 140 stitches high
On 14 count fabric this is approximately 10.0 x 10.0 inches or 25.4 x 25.4 cm
If you are stitching the rings around the final patterns in place of the hoop, the stitched area of the finished pieces is 142 stitches wide x 142 stitches high.
Other count fabrics can be used - just adjust the sizing accordingly.

These dimensions do not include the border of fabric you will need to leave around the designs. I recommend you leave a further 2-3 inches all the way round (which means that you need to add 4-6 inches to your size measurements).
You will need 25 DMC colours to stitch both designs - less than 1 skein of each colour.
The patterns were model stitched on 14 count Zweigart Light Blue aida by Ellie Darman.
Suitable for all skill levels including beginner.
