Robin on Holly Counted Cross Stitch Kit

Robin on Holly is a little red-breasted bird among green holly leaves and red berries, the coziest symbol of winter. The white background stays open, so all eyes are on the bright robin and the piece feels light and alive.

What makes this design special

• 20 colors in a small piece: soft shading in the feathers and berries makes the bird almost painterly.
• Detail stitches: backstitch defines the outlines, and French knots add tiny raised accents.

• Practical size: at 5.91 × 5.39 in it fits easily into a small frame, a seasonal display or a gallery wall of stitching.

Did you know?

The European robin became a Christmas symbol in Victorian Britain: postmen in red coats were nicknamed “robins,” and the bird soon appeared on Christmas cards. In the US, the “robin” is a different, larger bird, a thrush that early settlers named after the familiar red-breasted bird from home.
