About this pattern

A cheerful Santa Claus waving hello, with his red coat, white fur trim, black boots and a big brown sack of presents over his shoulder. The design comes from the Christmas collection drawn by our art team, and it keeps their warm, hand-stitched look. It is a medium-size piece with a clear outline and no background to fill, so most of your time goes into Santa himself. Start with the red coat to set your placement, then add the beard and fur trim — those white areas look best when every top stitch slants the same way. On 14 count Aida Santa measures roughly 4.6 × 6.7 in (12 × 17 cm). He pairs well with our Christmas Reindeer and Christmas Tree patterns, which share the same art style, so you can stitch all three as a matching set for a mantel or a hallway wall.
