Nativity (set of four scenes)
CROSS STITCH PATTERN READY TO DOWNLOAD, DESIGNED BY Lesley Teare Designs

The first of the four patterns features a cheerful angel, carrying a baby lamb.

The other cards respectively depict Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus; the Shepherds, and the Wise men.

These cross stitch patterns can be used for greetings cards or as a nativity scene, to display in your house, in the form of a triptych, with Mary and child in the center (see last image)

The characters are quite jolly and come in bright colors, sure to please, especially young children.

These square cross stitch motifs measure 5 inch wide on 14ct Aida. If used as greeting card and if you want to make them smaller, stitch on 16ct or 18ct. fabric (see calculator lower down).
 

Chart includes a couple of fractional stitches for detail. A tutorial is included with the chart for all stitches.
