Cross stitch Christmas stockings are 180×270 mm pieces on 18 count Aida. The palettes are wide — 23–29 colours of floss — so the design carries smooth transitions of shade. Difficulty is rated medium.
What to keep in mind
- 18 count. A smaller stitch and a crisper design, but good side lighting is needed.
- Many colours. Up to 29 shades: an organiser with labelled DMC numbers saves hours.
- Time. 40–70 hours, so November is the sensible time to start.
What is included
18 count Aida, floss with a surplus for full coverage, a needle, a printed colour chart with QR codes to the digital formats, and the findings for assembly.
