How do I stitch those tiny snowflakes?

I’ve received a few letters recently where you, my dear cross-stitchers asked how I stitch those small 3x3 snowflakes. So, I’ve prepared a small “How to” lesson.

To begin with, let’s choose a 3x3 square, to “place” our future snowflake. Then, let’s “fill” the corners of the square with 4 cross-stitches.

Two-colored snowflakes

Christmas is not arriving yet, but I noticed that the Inimitable snowflakes pattern I published nearly a year ago has already become the most viewed one. That is why I’ve decided to prepare a new cross-stitch pattern with snowflakes; this time two-colored and more simple so that even embroiderers with just a bit of experience are able to realize them.

Inimitable Snowflakes

Christmas… How much warmth is embedded in this word: fireplace, family gathered round the table, reverential mood, a great number of gifts prepared with love under the Christmas tree and … huge piles of snow outdoors))))).

And only imagine that this beautiful white blanket covering everything around consists of tiny “particles” - inimitable snowflakes. Why inimitable? Because there are no “clone” snowflakes, all of them are different, like those on the pattern below.

Mickey’s Christmas

Meet one more Christmas themed pattern. This time it’s pretty large and not easy to realize. But that isn’t a great obstacle to experienced embroiderers, is it?  So, if you’d like to celebrate Christmas with Mickey and Minnie, you are to begin cross-stitching right now)))))))))
