Pattern description
This 68×68 stitch counted cross-stitch pattern features a classically proportioned evergreen tree layered in rich forest green with crimson-red holly berries and white accents, topped by a golden star. The deep, jewel-toned color palette creates a festive yet sophisticated holiday mood, making it ideal for stitchers who prefer bold, traditional Christmas imagery over pastels.
The design uses just five DMC thread colors, keeping materials simple and costs low—a perfect choice for beginners tackling their first large holiday project. The geometric, tiered silhouette of the tree body, combined with the bright red berry clusters scattered across each tier, creates strong visual rhythm and makes progress visibly rewarding as you work from the top down.
Stitched on standard 14-count Aida fabric, this pattern works up quickly enough for a seasonal gift or framed décor piece. The finished piece measures approximately 5×5 inches, making it an excellent size for ornament gifting, a small wall hanging, or as part of a holiday needlework display alongside other festive designs.
