Pattern description
This jolly cross-stitch Santa radiates holiday cheer with his rosy cheeks, warm golden-brown eyes, and a soft, inviting smile. The design uses 29 DMC thread colors to build depth and dimension across an 89×89-stitch canvas, with rich reds and creams creating the classic Santa silhouette against a snowy white background. Small scattered hearts add a playful, affectionate touch to the composition.
Perfect for intermediate stitchers, this counted cross-stitch pattern captures the essence of Santa's kindness in pixel-art form. The bold red tones and delicate detail work—from the black belt with yellow buckle to the white-trimmed coat—make this design equally suited for framing, gifting, or displaying as a cheerful seasonal decoration. Whether you're stitching on 14-count Aida or another favorite base, the result is a heartwarming piece that brings timeless Christmas warmth to any home.
