Pattern description
This intermediate-level counted cross-stitch pattern features a vibrant evergreen tree adorned with bold red ornaments and topped with a golden star. At 49 x 49 stitches, it's a satisfying square format that works beautifully on 14-count Aida fabric, completing in a few dedicated stitching sessions. The design uses 18 DMC thread colors to capture the festive contrast between the deep green tree body and luminous red baubles that appear to pop off the fabric.
The jewel-toned palette—rich emerald greens paired with bright crimson reds and warm golden accents—creates a classic holiday aesthetic with modern impact. The composition is straightforward and centered, making it ideal for framing or display as a standalone piece that brings traditional Christmas warmth to any room.
Whether you're stitching this as a personal ornament, holiday gift, or seasonal decoration, the moderate skill level makes it accessible to cross-stitchers ready to move beyond basic projects. The small stitch count keeps it manageable without sacrificing visual appeal, while the cheerful ornament design and timeless color scheme ensure it remains a cherished favorite year after year.
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.
