The Stanley Toy Soldier needlepoint pattern and his Betty Bouffant Ballerina companion are quick and easy projects worked in continental stitch on 10-count canvas.
Each pattern is worked in 10 colors, and is a perfect "scrap basket" project as a full skein of tapestry wool is only necessary for the background color.
You may also want to stitch their companions, Belinda Baker and Corey Candlestick Maker or the Fairytale Prince and Princess, Count and Countess or the Pilgrim Couple figures.
Finished Size: Approximately 3.5 x 7.5 inches
Mesh Size: 10-count
Size of Canvas Needed: 5 x 11 inches
You can easily personalize your ornament by changing the colors used, or by adding beads, decorative threads and trims.
For best results, finish them as stand-up figures.
