Jolly Snowman

14 ct, stitched over 1

Stitch your own white Christmas with this sweet snowy scene, filled with seasonal cheer and festive magic! Stretching out his snow-covered arms to welcome his feathered friends, jolly old Frosty loves to spread good tidings. With a smile on his face and a bright red Santa hat upon his head, it's clear to see this is his favourite time of year! There's nothing as fun as a snow day, and Helz's vibrant design captures that sense perfectly. Stitched against a cloudless sky backdrop, the crisp white snowflakes are a treat for the eye - and for the needle, too. You'll use fractionals, backstitch, blending, metallic thread accents and French knots to add in all the elements that make this piece so beautiful, from Frosty's patchwork scarf to the ornate birdhouse. As you start work, you'll realise just how many clever little details go into making it so special. The greatest reward won't just be the finishing though - it'll be seeing the smile on your loved one's face as they unwrap your merry make!
