The nitty gritty details!
Let's take a closer look at what's included & all those details you're dying to know:
That Time of Year Mystery Cross Stitch Pattern
- It measures approx. 11 x 19 inches when stitched on 14/32 count fabric.
- The pattern releases are every week at 10 am on a Friday, starting 11th October 2024 and finishing 13th December 2024.
- It uses 13-15 different colours of DMC thread (depending on what palette you choose). Some of the colours require more than 1 skein but most are under 1. The full list of supplies are inside with links to my favourite and recommended brands.
- I am using fun and bright colours for my design but I do also include 2 other variations of colours that you can use.
- The pattern is a full counted cross stitch pattern with colour blocks and symbols.
- It includes mostly full cross stitches with come backstitching so is perfect if you are a beginner.
Video tutorials
- For each pattern release, there is a video walkthrough explaining the pattern and the stitches.
- After the weekly pattern releases there is a tutorial released at the end where I will show you how to make a banner from your finished design.
- If any of the releases have tricky stitches I will include extra video tutorials of that stitch to make sure you're never stuck on anything.

Hey there!
Hi, I'm Hannah, and my goal is to help people find space in their day to fill with their favourite hobby and end their day fulfilled, instead of drained.
I've been running Cross Stitch Alongs since 2017, and I've been hooked ever since. My first ever SAL was a Christmas one so the Christmas SAL always has a special place in my heart.
I love SALs so much that my whole business is now pretty much running them!
I just love the community that evolves throughout. It's like when you're reading the same book as your best friend; you talk all about it and guess what's coming next. That's exactly what happens during a SAL, and you don't often see that in the cross stitch community. And seeing how much time everyone else is taking for their stitching helps show you that you deserve that time as well!
I can't wait to see your creativity come alive these next few months and see your beautiful banners hanging up at Christmas!
You will love joining this SAL because:
EASY-TO-COMPLETE PARTS
I know you're busy, so that's why the pattern is broken down into chunks that are released every week to help you stay on track to finish on time.
EXTRA BONUSES
This is not just a cross stitch pattern! Inside you will find free tutorials, planning sheets, extra colour palettes and more!
SUPER SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITY
You can join my free cross stitch Facebook group and get so much support from the community there; they're all amazing, encouraging and so helpful.
FOLLOW ALONG
Just log in on pattern release day to download the design and watch all of the videos in 1 place! You can watch on your phone while you settle down with your stitching in your cross stitch spot.
Here are what other happy customers are saying about the past SALs!
FAQs
Do I have to make a banner?
No, you can make anything you like from your finished design.
What stitches are included in the pattern?
The pattern is mostly full cross stitches with some backstitching. There are no French knots.
What is a Stitch Along?
A stitch along is an event where we all stitch the same pattern together over a set number of weeks/months for a certain length of time. So for this SAL we are stitching together for around 9 weeks and the pattern parts are released every week on Fridays.
How will I get inside after I purchase it?
Once you have purchased there will be a link on the confirmation page taking you right inside, plus you will get an email. You should either have to create an account with Teachable (the platform that hosts the course) or login if you already have an account.
How long will it take to finish?
If you follow along with us live and stay on track you will have a finished project by the middle of December. But don't worry if you fall behind, you get access to all of the patterns and videos even after we finish. I don't want you to worry about staying on track and rushing to finish; just enjoy the process and know that all the patterns will be there for you waiting for when you're ready, even if that means hanging your banner up next year.
What comes with the purchase? Are there supplies included?
This is a fully digital product so you get instant access and nothing in the mail. The PDF patterns will be released weekly starting Friday 11th October 2024 and there will be a list of the supplies you need once you're inside plus links to where you can buy them.
Do I have to show up at a certain time or day?
To get the weekly patterns, nope. You just log into Teachable and access it at any time after the release; you don't have to show up for anything live.
How long do I have access to the product for?
How does forever sound? That's right, as long as the Hannah Hand Makes exists, you will have access to all of the patterns. Plus you can download them to keep.
Do you offer refunds?
For downloadable patterns, refunds are usually not offered. However, if you change your mind before we start stitching (11th October 2024) I can offer you a refund. Just get in touch hannah@hannahhandmakes.com. You can see the pattern below so you will know if you will enjoy the design before you join.
Will there be a kit available to buy?
For this one, there isn't a kit but there are lots of links on where to buy all the fun supplies from once you're inside the SAL. You will need 16-18 skeins of thread for this one and a piece of fabric around 13 x 22 inches. They're the basics of what you need but I also recommend some other extras inside.
