Materials Required:

• White Aida cloth (14-count or 16-count)
• DMC embroidery floss in the following colors: black, white, gray, light blue, dark blue
• Cross stitch needle (size 24 or 26)
• Embroidery hoop (4-inch or 5-inch)
• Scissors

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Preparing the Fabric:

1. Cut a piece of Aida cloth that is approximately 6 inches by 6 inches.
2. Center the fabric in the embroidery hoop and tighten the screw to secure it.

2. Threading the Needle:

1. Separate a single strand of embroidery floss from the skein.
2. Thread the needle and knot the end of the floss to prevent it from unraveling.

3. Starting the Cross Stitch:

1. Locate the center of the Aida cloth. This is where you will begin your cross stitch.
2. Bring the needle up through the fabric from the back, at the bottom left corner of the first square.
3. Insert the needle diagonally into the top right corner of the next square, forming a half-cross stitch.
4. Bring the needle back down through the bottom left corner of the same square to complete the cross stitch.

4. Following the Pattern:

1. The pattern for the Let It Snow Cat is a grid with each square representing a cross stitch.
2. Follow the color key to select the appropriate floss color for each square.
3. Work your way through the pattern, row by row, completing one cross stitch at a time.

5. Finishing the Cross Stitch:

1. Once you have completed all the cross stitches, knot the end of the floss on the back of the fabric to secure it.
2. Trim any excess Aida cloth around the edges.
3. Remove the embroidery hoop and press the cross stitch flat with an iron (if desired).

6. Displaying Your Masterpiece:

1. Frame your cross stitch in a small hoop or shadowbox to enhance its beauty.
2. Hang it on a wall, display it on a shelf, or use it as a charming decoration for your Christmas tree.

Tips and Tricks:

• Use a light source to illuminate your fabric while stitching to prevent eye strain.
• Take breaks as needed to avoid fatigue and ensure accuracy.
• If you make a mistake, simply remove the stitches and start over.
• Personalize your cross stitch by adding additional details, such as snowflakes, stars, or a festive border.
