Christmas Cross-Stitch Crafts

Napkin

For each napkin

Holiday dining goes elegant when
you start with tree-trimmed
place mats and napkins.

• 19-inch square of 32-count stoney point linen
• Sewing thread to match linen

1. Before stitching, zigzag-stitch around the outer edges of the napkin and press under 1/2 inch. Topstitch 1/4 inch from the outer edges. Along one edge, measure 3-1/2-inches from the corner. Then measure 2-1/2 inches from the edge; begin stitching the top of the tree there. Stitch two branches and a trunk. Measure 3-1/2 inches along the adjoining edge and stitch a second tree.
