This counted cross stitch kit captures a magical winter night: a turreted lodge trimmed with lights, a watchful owl perched on the roof, and a beaded tree sparkling against a starry blue sky. Beads add shimmer to the snow, stars, and trim, giving the finished piece a lovely dimensional sparkle that's perfect for framing or displaying through the winter season.

This design comes from RTO, a cross stitch brand based in Estonia with 30 years of experience in needlework. Known for detailed, artfully composed kits, RTO is a great choice for stitchers looking to sink into a more involved, rewarding project.

Kit includes:

• DMC embroidery floss, pre-sorted (12 colors)
• 14-count blue Aida fabric
• Beads for sparkling accents
• Easy-to-read printed chart
• John James embroidery needle
• Clear step-by-step instructions
• Full-color reference photo of the finished design

This is a medium-skill-level project; finished, it measures approximately 12 x 14.5 cm (4.75" x 5.75").
