Who can resist making these extra cute cross stitch mittens to hang on the Christmas tree? Designed by UK-based Tapestry Barn, the mittens come in six delightful animal patterns.
The base fabric (white Aida) is entirely filled with cross stitch. The stitched part is then cut out to shape and a piece of felt or backing fabric is used to make the ornament. Optionally, leave the upper part of the mitten open and fill with treats and sweets!
The design is available as a printed hardcopy pattern.
