Cryptid Christmas Cross Stitch Pattern (PDF Download)

Description

Bring some playful paranormal cheer to your holiday stitching! This whimsical festive pattern gathers iconic cryptids for a winter celebration: Mothman wearing a Santa hat overhead, a friendly Yeti, a little gingerbread companion, and Bigfoot holding a giant candy cane beside a roaring campfire and a star-topped Christmas tree. With a rich 15-color DMC palette and standard full cross stitches throughout, it offers a smooth, delightful stitch that comes together quickly. Measuring 6.86″ x 4.86″ on 14-count fabric, it’s sized perfectly for an 8-inch embroidery hoop or standard 5″ x 7″ frame display. (Crafter’s Tip: Stitched on bright blue Aida, the background forms a snowy winter sky, but it looks equally wonderful on kraft oatmeal, icy grey, or dark night-sky fabric!)
