When we discovered a turn-ofthe-century children’s book tucked
away in a dusty antique shop, we were unexpectedly whisked away to
a world of old-fashioned Christmas pleasures. The tiny volume, titled
“Meny Christmas ABC," featured an enchanting Victorian alphahet poem
accompanied by beautifully detailed illustrations. Inspired by this
charming memento of yesteryear, we created our own delightful book
of cross stitch creations depicting the joys of Christmas from A to Z.

Carolers' Sweatshirts (shown on pages 42-43); Each design was
stitched over a 15" x 13" piece of 10 mesh waste canvas on a
purchased sweatshirt with top of designs approximately 2" below
bottom of neckband. Five strands of floss were used for Cross Stitch
ond 2 strands for Backstitch and French Knots
Needlework adaptation by Donna Vermillion Giampa and Jane
Chandler.
Working on Waste Canvas: Waste canvas Is a special canvas that
provides an evenweave grid for placing stitches on fabric. After the
design is worked over the canvas, the canvas threads are removed
leaving the design on the fabric. The canvas is available in several
mesh sizes.
Cover edges of canvas with masking tape. Cut a piece of
lightweight, non-fusible interfacing the same size as canvas to provide
о firm stitching base.
Find desired stitching area on sweatshirt and mark center of area
with a pin. Match center of canvas to pin. Use the blue threads in
canvas to place canvas straight on shirt; pin canvas to shirt Pin
interfacing to wrong side of shirt. Baste all three thicknesses together
as shown In Fig. 1.
Place shirt in a screw type hoop. We recommend a hoop that is
large enough to encircle entire design Using a sharp needle, work
design, stitching from large holes to large holes.
Trim canvas to within %" of design. Dampen canvas until it
becomes limp. Pull out canvas threads one at a time using tweezers
(Fig. 2). Trim interfacing close to design

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
WORKING WITH CHARTS
How to Read Charts: Each of the designs is
shown in chart form. Each colored square on
the chart represents one Cross Stitch or one
Half Cross Stitch Each colored triangle on
the chart represents one One-Quarter Stitch
or one Three-Quarter Stitch Black or colored
dots represent French Knots Colored ovals
represent Lazy Daisy Stitches The black or
colored straight lines on the chart indicate
Backstitch When a French Knot, Lazy Daisy
Stitch, or Backstitch covers a square, the
symbol is omitted
IEoch chart is accompanied by a color key
This key indicates the color of floss to use for
each stitch on the chart The headings on the
color key are for Cross Stitch (X), DMC color
number (DMC), Quarter Stitch (’ЛХ),
Three-Quarter Stitch (3/4X), Half Cross
Stitch (’/2X), and Backstitch (B'ST) Color
key columns should be read vertically and
horizontally to determine type of stitch and
floss color
Where to Start: The horizontal and vertical
centers of each charted design ore shown
by arrows You may start at any point on the
charted design, but be sure the design will
be centered on the fabric. Locate the center
of fabric by folding in half, top to bottom and
again left to right On the charted design,
count the number of squares (stitches) from
the center of the chart to where you wish to
start Then from the fabric's center, find your
storting point by counting out the same
number of fabric threads (stitches)
Quarter Stitch (’ЛХ and 3/дХ) Quarter
Stitches are denoted by triangular shapes of
color on the chart and on the color key.
Come up at 1 (Fig. 5); then split fabric
thread to go down at 2 When stitches 1-4
are worked in the same color, the resulting
stitch is called a Three-Quarter Stitch (3/дХ).
Fig. 6 shows the technique for Quarter Stitch
when working over two fabric threads
Lazy Daisy Stitch: Bring needle up at 1 and
moke a loop Go down at 1 and come up at
2, keeping floss below point of needle
(Fig. 12) Pull needle through and go down
at 2 to anchor loop completing stitch (Note
To support stitches, it may be helpful to go
down in edge of next fabric thread when
anchoring loop.)
Fig. 5
Fig. 6
Fig. 12
Half Cross Stitch (V2X): This stitch is one
journey of the Cross Stitch and is worked
from lower left to upper right as shown in
Fig. 7 When working over two fabric
threads, work Half Cross Stitch as shown in
Fig. 8
Fig. 7
Blanket Stitch: Bring needle up at 1, go down
at 2 and come up at 3, keeping the floss
below the point of the needle (Fig. 13).
Continue working in this manner, going
down at even numbers and coming up at
odd numbers (Fig. 14).
Fig. 8
STITCH DIAGRAMS
Counted Cross Stitch (X): Work one Cross
Stitch to correspond to each colored square
on the chart. For horizontal rows, work
stitches in two journeys (Fig. 1) For vertical
rows, complete each stitch as shown
(Fig. 2) When working over two fabric

STITCHING TIPS
Working Over Two Fabric Threads: Use the
sewing method instead of the stab method
when working over two fabric threads To
use the sewing method, keep your stitching
hand on the right side of the fabric (instead
pick up the needle). With the
3 you take the needle down
of stnhhmg the fnhric with the needle and
taking yoif stitching hand to the back of the
fabric to i pick up the needle). With the
sewing m
and up with one stroke instead of two To
add support to stitches, it is important that
the first Cross Stitch is placed on the fabric
witlj slitul I'Z’bsghnitiig und"CTidiiiy wlicio и
vertical abric thread crosses over a
hort^iel«fabric thread (Fig. 17). When the
first* stitch }s in the correct position, the entire
design wit be placed properly, with vertical
fobjic thr^ids supporting each stitch
i
Working on Perforated Paper: Perforated
paper has a right side and a wrong side
The right side is smoother and stitching
should be done on this side To find the
center do not fold paper, use a ruler and
mark lightly with a pencil or count holes
Perforated paper will tear if handled
roughly, lheiel'uie' I'io'IJ ТТ1В>цоег flat while
stitching and do not use a hoop S^oin and
end stitching by running floss undersh^ral
stitches on back; never tie knots. Use Inb
stab method when stitching and keep
stitching tension consistent Thread pulled
too- tightly-ffloy-lear-lhO' paper, Couy-fleeS'
across back as little as possible
