Glowing reds, golds, and greens form the foundation of this festive pagan cross stitch pattern, celebrating the winter solstice. A pentacle, goddess figure, and moon phases are the perfect backdrop for the words, "Blessed Yule" which take center stage. Even the candles and the sprigs of holly reinforce the message of life and warmth returning as the world passes through the longest night of the year. What a great cross stitch project to work on for the holiday season!
The Blessed Yule Cross Stitch Pattern measures 158 stitches wide by 109 stitches high. The cross stitch pattern spans 8 pages, and is printed single-sided, on unbound sheets in a clear plastic bag for protection. There is a color picture of the completed chart on the front page. The pattern itself is graphed in black and white symbols, and a table showing the DMC colors you'll need is included.
How much fabric do I need?
To calculate the amount of fabric you will need for your project, divide the number of stitches by the stitch count of the fabric you wish to use. The higher the count of your fabric, the smaller your piece will be. Some examples appear below. Remember to leave several additional inches as a border on each side, to facilitate framing your project when it is finished.

|---|---|
| 14-count | 11 ¼" × 7 ¾" |
