The moment I saw this wreath, I thought of my grandmother's front door in December. This free tapestry pattern, 'Motif tapisserie gratuit : couronne de Noël', sits on a white, grid-like canvas. Greens in several shades build the wreath, and the fringed edges give it a pine-like texture that feels almost real. Two red baubles and one yellow bauble hang among clusters of small red berries. There's also an unstitched cream-colored teardrop shape — that empty space is deliberate, and it works. At the bottom center, a large red bow with gold outlining holds everything together. I used DMC Laine Colbert Art. 486 wool for my sample, and the depth it brings to the greens is why I keep coming back to this thread. The wool also gives the ornaments a vibrancy that cheaper yarns flatten out. This pattern fits a cozy living room or a hallway, anywhere you want a quiet festive touch through the season. Beginners can handle it; experienced stitchers will enjoy the contrast between stitched and unstitched areas. That contrast is the real charm here. Download the free PDF to start stitching.
