Which Christmas pattern should you stitch first?
New to cross stitch? Start with the ones marked Easy. They use few colors and large areas of one color, so a bauble, snowflake or mitten makes a good first project you can finish in a few evenings.
The background stays unstitched on every pattern, so the fabric color counts. White details show up better on cream or pale blue Aida. Once finished, keep the piece in its hoop, frame it, mount it on a card or hang it on the tree.
