About this pattern

This is the gingerbread house of my kids' dreams: a gumdrop roof thick with icing, candy-cane posts on each corner, glowing windows with little candy window boxes, a wreath on the red door and peppermints leading up the snowy path. A star sits on the very top, and two iced trees stand guard.

It's the biggest piece in the collection at 70 x 70 stitches (about 5 inches square on 14 count Aida), in 12 colors on antique white fabric. It's an intermediate stitch, with lots of small candy details, but every part is whole cross stitches and the shapes are clear, so it's very relaxing to watch it come together.

It looks lovely in a 6 or 7 inch hoop or a small frame in the kitchen, and it's a gorgeous handmade gift.

You get a full color chart, a black and white symbol chart, a large print chart, a Pattern Keeper compatible PDF and a floss key with DMC numbers. It's a digital PDF pattern, so no fabric or thread is included.

Questions

How do I get my pattern?

Right after checkout you land on your order page with download links for every file, plus a "download all" zip. Links work for 7 days, and you can reopen your order page anytime to get fresh links.

Is this a physical kit?

No. This is a digital PDF download. No fabric, thread or hoop is included and nothing is shipped. The floss key lists every DMC color you need.

How do I print it?

Print at 100% scale (or "actual size") on US Letter or A4 paper. The black & white chart saves ink and is easy to read. You can also stitch straight from a tablet.

Does it work with Pattern Keeper?

Yes. A Pattern Keeper friendly PDF is included, so you can import it and mark stitches off as you go. Backstitch (if any) is listed separately, because Pattern Keeper only tracks full crosses.

What is the free bonus pack?

Every order comes with a little thank-you: my one-page beginner cheat sheet and 3 bonus mini patterns (a star ornament, a tiny tree and a little mushroom). They appear on your order page next to your patterns.

Is there a discount if I buy several patterns?

Yes. Buy any 3 or more individual patterns or sets and each one is 25% off, applied automatically in your cart. Bundles already have their own price. During a shop-wide sale you always get the single best discount (they don't stack).

What if something is wrong with my file?

If a file has a problem, we'll fix it or refund you. Just send Sara a message. See the refund policy for details.
