The nitty gritty details!
Let's take a closer look at what's included & all those details you're dying to know:
Merry Little Wreathmas Mystery Cross Stitch Pattern
- It measures approx. 10 x 10 inches when stitched on 32 count evenweave and is a doughnut shaped once finished.
- The pattern releases are every week at 10 am on a Sunday, starting 3rd October 2021 and finishing 28th November 2021.
- It uses 12 different colours of DMC thread. Some of the colours require more than 1 skein but more are under 1. The full list of supplies are inside with links to my favourite and recommended brands.
- I am using deep, cosy colours for my design but I do also include 2 other variations or colours that you can use if you want a brighter Christmas palette or even a totally alternative one.
- The pattern is a full counted cross stitch pattern with colour blocks and symbols.
- It does include quite a bit of backstitching but I will have lots of tutorials for you inside to make sure you can do all the stitches.
Video tutorials
- For each pattern release, there is a video walkthrough explaining the pattern and the stitches.
- You get a bonus tutorial on how to stitch on evenweave so that you can stitch on that as I do recommend evenweave for this design (it is easier to make a wreath with evenweave rather than aida).
- After the weekly pattern releases there is a tutorial released at the end where I will show you how to make a wreath from your finished design.
- The video tutorials and patterns are all hosted inside Teachable which is where you can log in to access everything in 1 place.
- 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.

I've felt the guilt and frustration.
Hi, I'm Hannah, and my goal is to help women 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. This one is my 13th! 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 wreaths 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, 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

FAQs
Do I have to make a wreath?
No, you can just frame the finished design in a 10 inch hoop if you don't want to make the wreath with the 2 hoops/hole in the middle. That's totally fine and easier! You could even use the "welcome" on your bonus pattern and stitch that inside the wreath shape.
What stitches are included in the pattern?
The pattern is mostly full cross stitches with some backstitching and a few fractional stitches. 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 the Merry Little Wreathmas SAL we are stitching together for around9 weeks and the patterns parts are released every week on Sunday's.
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 wreath by the end of November. 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 wreath up next year.
What comes with the purchase? Is 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 Sunday 3rd October 2021 and there will be a list of the supplies you need once you're inside plus links to where you can buy them.
You will get a video walkthrough of the pattern each month and lots of hints and tips to help you along, plus the free Facebook group which is so supportive and helpful. You also get a video tutorials showing you how to stitch on evenweave and how to turn your design into a wreath at the end.
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 (3rd October 2021) 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 12 skeins of thread for this one and a piece of evenweave around 14 x 14 inches. They're the basics of what you need but I also recommend some other extras inside.
