To be honest I think about mushrooms a lot because my daughter loves them and they are fun to craft in all sorts of genres. (I made a crocheted mushroom earlier this summer, and have collected mushroom knitting patterns, too.) I love a good sampler pattern, and this time of year it’s fun to stitch up sampler style patterns related to Christmas. Some of these Christmas sampler cross stitch patterns can work like an advent calendar, stitching a little bit each day in the runup to Christmas, or you can stitch it faster to make it part of your decor this holiday season.

Cross Stitch BasicsWith the mushroom cross stitch world continuously evolving, I’m always on the lookout for new patterns and techniques to enhance my craft. Whether it’s experimenting with metallic threads to add a touch of magic to a fairy tale mushroom or learning advanced stitches to create intricate gills and caps, there’s always something new to explore and master.

Thread your needle as you would for sewing, but don’t tie a knot in the end. Knots can cause your fabric to be bulky in certain spots, and the end of your floss will be stitched over enough to be held in place anyway, making a knot unnecessary. Reading Cross Stitch PatternsFirst, start by preparing your fabric. 14-count Aida fabric is most common for cross stitch. The number 14 indicates that there are 14 holes per square inch.
