Pattern description
This 78 x 78 stitch counted cross stitch pattern captures the warmth of a traditional log cabin nestled in winter snow, complete with a decorated evergreen tree adorned with red ornaments and cheerful embellishments. The composition centers on the cabin's sturdy wooden structure with its distinctive arched doorway, framed by the forest green of the holiday tree positioned at the foreground. Warm browns and golden yellows dominate the palette, creating an inviting, rustic mood perfect for capturing the coziness of the season.
The intermediate skill level makes this needlework project accessible yet engaging for stitchers looking to expand their abilities. Worked on Aida fabric with 12 DMC thread colors, the pattern balances larger blocks of color in the cabin walls with fine detail work in the tree's ornaments and snow accents. This design translates beautifully as a handmade Christmas card, framed wall hanging, or seasonal gift—a treasured keepsake that celebrates log cabin charm and the timeless appeal of vintage holiday imagery. The printable PDF chart provides clear symbols for easy stitch counting and thread management.
Stitch planning checklist
- Measure your fabric against the stitch count to confirm finished size.
- Sort floss by symbol before you start; pre-thread a few needles for speed.
- Work in small blocks to keep counting accurate and spot mistakes early.
- Backstitch at the end of each session so outlines stay crisp.
