The Stitching Journey
This design is lovely to stitch in sections — you might start with the bold red hats, then enjoy building the snowy background and winter details around the gnomes. The picture grows in a very rewarding way, with little “story” elements (like the lantern glow and woodland friends) appearing as you go.
Because there is a small amount of backstitch, it can be nice to leave that until the end, so you can add the final crisp details as a finishing touch.
