Chart: Christmas Basket, Cross Stitch Design

As the holidays approach, the home gradually transforms into a warm cocoon where red and white become the essential colors of the season. Among decorations, works in progress, Christmas magazines, and embroidery accessories, this large textile basket naturally finds its place in the living room or creative studio. Both practical and decorative, it elegantly stores all the little treasures that accompany holiday preparations.

Designed by Création Point de Croix, this creation harmoniously combines embroidery and sewing in a spirit inspired by traditional Christmas decorations. The delicate embroidered frieze highlights the red and white stripes of the basket while an adorable suspended heart completes the ensemble with great charm. The monochrome patterns bring a refined touch that fits perfectly into a festive, warm, and timeless decoration.

The design was embroidered on a white 12-thread/cm linen fabric, worked over 2 warp threads and 2 weft threads. Combined with striped and red polka dot fabrics, this luminous fabric particularly highlights the finesse of the patterns and the authentic spirit of this creation.

This project can also be embroidered on a DMC 11-thread/cm linen fabric or on a 5.5 stitches/cm Aida fabric to obtain slightly more generous dimensions while facilitating the embroidery work.
