Lzz’(/5 the night. before. Christmas, when all through the fiquse ‘Jfpt a creature was
stirring, not even a mouse; ‘The. stockings were hung by the chimney with care, hi hopes
that St. ffic/iofas soon would be there. ‘The children were nestled afl snug in their beds,
‘H’/iile visions of sugar-plums danced through their heads; Andmamma in her kerchief,
and I in my cap Siad just sett fedour brains for a long -winter’s nap, — 1 Then out on
the fawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my bed. to see what was the matter.
Away to the zvindow I flew life a flash, Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon, on the breast of the new-faffc.n snow, (fave the lustre of midday to objects
below; ll-hen what to my wondering eyes shoufd appear, ‘But a miniature sleigh and
eight tiny reindeer, D’ith a fit the. ofd driver, so fivefy and yuidfl fne.w in a moment it
must be St. ‘Tficf. ‘More rapid than eagles his coursers they came, And he whistled and
shouted and cal fed them by name: "ffow, ‘Dasher! now, ‘Dancer! now, ‘.Prancer and
Di^en! On, Comet! on, Cupid! on, Dander and‘Bfilzen! ‘To the top of the porch, to the
top of the waif! f-jgw, dash away, dash away, dash away aff! As dry leaves that before
the wild hurricanefly, 'll icn they meet with an obstacfe. mount to the sfy, So, up to
t ie house-top the coursers they ffew, 'U-ilh the sleigh jufl of toys, — and St. 'Sfichofas
too. And then in a twinkling I heard on the roof The prancing and pawing of each little
hoof. As I drew in my head, and was turning around, ‘Down the chimney St. Tfic/iofas
came with a bound, ‘die was dressed afl in fur from his head to his foot, And his clothes
were afl tarnis ied with ashes and soot; A bundle of toys he had flung on his bacf And
he loafed lif? a peddferjust opening his pacf. dlis eyes how they twinffed! his dimpfes
how merry! !riis cheeks were life roses, his nose life a cherry; 'Jlis draft little mouth was
drawn up life a bow, And the beard on his chin was as while as the snow. ‘The stump
of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, And t ie smoke it encircled his head life, a wreath. ‘Tie
had. a broad face, and a Tittle round be.ffy That. shook when lie laughed, fife. a bowf Juff
of jeffy. ‘Ле was chubby and plump, — a right jofly ofd elf — And I faughed, when I
saw him, in spite oj myself. A win fof his eye and a twist of his head Soon gave me to
know I had nothing to dread. The spoke not a word, but went straight to his work. And
fiffed aff the stockings; then turned with a jerk And laying his finger aside of his nose,
Atul giving a nod, up the chimney he rose. Tie. sprang to ltd sleigh, to his team gave
a whistle, And away they afl ffew life the down of a thistle; ‘But I heard him e\cfaim,
ere he drove out oj sight: Dlappy Christmas to afl, and to aff a good-night!"

lENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
ORKING WITH CHARTS
- bw to Read Charts: Each of the designs is
Z mown in chart form Each colored square on
- je chart represents one Cross Stitch, one
df Cross Stitch, or a bead placement. Each
tlored triangle on the chart represents one
le-Quarter Stitch or one Three-Quorter Sntch
cck or colored dols represent French Knots or
tad placement The black or colored straight
les on the chart Indicate Backstitch When a
ench Knot or Backstitch covers a square, the
jnbol is omitted
flch chart is accompanied by a color key. This
№/ Indicates the color of Hoss to use for each
rich on the chart The headings on the color
gy are for Cross Stitch (X), DMC color number
JMC) One-Quarter Stilch (7<X) Three-Quarter
bitch (e/*X), Half Cross Stitch (’AX), and
lockstitch (B'ST). Color key columns should be
;od vertically and horizontally to determine type
f stilch and floss color Some designs may
iclude stitches worked with metallic thread
jch as a Blending Filament Braid, or Cord.
Hie metallic thread moy be blended wilh floss
r used alone. II any of these threads ore used
i a design, the color key will contain the
pproprlote ntormation
^J/here to Start: The horizontal and vertical
^renters of each charted design are shown by
^rrows. You may stort at any point on the
jrted design, but be sure the des gn will be
itered an the fabric. Locate the center of fabric
folding in half, top to bottom and agoin left
right. On the charted design, count the
H j4iumber of squares (stitches) from lhe center of
J3ie chart to where you wish to start Then from
Zizttfce fabric's center, find your starling point by
11 (Zfbunting out the same number of fabric threads
(^stitches). (Note: To work over two fabric
ireads, count out twice the number of
ibric threads)
iHow to Determine Finished Size- The finished
fsize of your design will depend on the thread
Tcounf per inch of the fabric being used To
terermine the finished size of the design on
different fabrics, divide the number of squares
-Ustitches) in the width of the charted design by
tie thread count of the fabric. For example, a
charted design with a width of 80 squares
worked on 14 count Aida will yield a design
53A’ wide. Repeat for the number of squares
(stitches) in the height ol the charted design
Note To work over two fabric threads, divide
•he number of squares by one-half lhe thread
count.) Then odd lhe amount of background
you want plus a generous amount for finishing
or zigzog the edges of your fabric to
prevent raveling.
STITCH DIAGRAMS
Note: Bring threaded needle up at 1 and all odd
numbers and down al 2 ond all even numbers.
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 stilch as shown (Fig. 2). When
working over two fabric threads, work Cross
Stitch as shown in Fig. 3 When the chart
shows a Bockstitch crossing о colored square
(Fig. 4), о Cross Stitch should be worked first;
then the Backstitch (Fig. 9 or 10) should be
worked on top of the Cross Stitch.
Fig 2
Fig. 3
Quarter Stitch ('AX ond 3AX): Quarter Stitches
ore denoted by triangular shapes of color on the
chart and on the color key For a One Quarter
Stitch, come up ot 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 Slitch (3AX) Fig. 6 shows
the techn que for Quarter Stfches when working
over two fabric threads.
Half Cross Stitch (7zX): This stitch is one
journey of the Cross Stitch and Is worked from
lower left Io upper right os shown in Fig. 7
When working over two fabric rhreads, work
Holf Cross Stitch as shown m Fig 8
Fig. 7
Bockstitch (B'ST): For outline delail, Backstitch
(shown on chart and on color key by black or
colored straight lines) should be worked after
lhe design has been completed (Fig. 9). When
working over two fabric threads, work Backstitch
os shown in Fig. 10

STITCHING TIPS
Working over Two Fabric Threads: Use the
sewing melhod instead of the stab method
when working over two fabr c threads. To use
the sewing method, keep your stitching hand on
the right side of the fabr c (instead of stabbing
the fobric with the needle and tak ng your
stit :hmg hond to the back of the fabric lo pick
up the needle). With the sew ig method, you
take the needle down and up with one stroke
Instead of two To add support ta stitches, it is
important that the first Cross Stitch is placed on
the fabric wilh stitch 1-2 beginning and ending
where a vertical fabric thread crosses over a
horizontal fabric thread (Fig. 14). When the tirst
stitch is in the correc position, the entire design
will be placed properly, wilh vert cal fabric
threads support ng each stitch
Fig. 14
Working on Perforated Poper: Perforated paper
has a right side and a wrong side The right
side is smoother and stitching should be done
on th s s de To find the center, do nol fold
paper; use о ruler ond mark lightly with a pencil
or count hales. Perforated paper will tear if
handled roughly; therefore, hold the poper flat
wh le stitching and da not use a hoop Begin
and end stitching by runi ig floss under several
stitches an back; never tie knots. Use the stab
method when st Iching and keep stitching
tension consistent Thread pulled oo tightly may
tear the paper. Carry floss across back os little
as possible.
Attaching Beads: Refer to chart for bead
placement ond sew bead in place using a line
needle that will pass through bead Bring needle
up at 1, run needle through bead lhen down at
2 making a Half Cross Stitch (Fig. 15) Secure
floss on back or move to next bead as shown
in Fig. 15
