A Year of Celebrations Cross Stitch Pattern by Hands on Designs

Originally designed in 2013 & featured in Cross Stitch & Needlework magazine all through 2014, each month’s design is a stitch count of 50 x 50. Make sure to check out the blog post about the series to get the list of threads used in each model. This is a great project to use up those bits & bobs of leftover threads! (DMC substitutions are given in the chart.)

Models are stitched on 32ct Dirty Belfast.
