Festive Poinsettia decoration
CROSS STITCH PATTERN READY TO DOWNLOAD, DESIGNED BY Lesley Teare Designs

A floral decoration to cross stitch for Christmas that will be stunning given the amount of color and detail. It features beautifully arranged bright red poinsettias, all-white Christmas roses, shiny holly leaves and mistletoe balls.

The cross stitch pattern includes highlights of gold and silver metallic threads that enhance the festive and decorative effect. The pistils of the flowers are worked in French knots, but you can however substitute them with gold seed beads should you prefer.

The pattern includes some fractional stitches for extra detail. A tutorial is included with the chart for all stitches.
