Festive Bauble - Christmas cross stitch pattern

A modern counted cross stitch pattern of a Christmas bauble.

This design puts a modern twist on traditional band samplers. The different patterns form a Christmas bauble that will look reat in any colours. Personalise it by matching it to your own festive decor.

If you prefer not to use metallic threads, you can always swap it for another shade of stranded cotton or add beads instead.
