Cocoa and Cookies was December’s free chart offered by Primrose Cottage as part of their Free Stitch Fridays. The free design is offered for a month and then is for sale in their shop. You can sign up for their free newsletter to receive the current chart by scrolling to the bottom of the page on their site.
The stitch count is 54×54 and the recommended fabric is 32ct light taupe. I chose a piece of 14ct Vintage Taupe because I wanted it slightly larger. I used the called for colors of DMC 816 and B5200, Weeks Dye Works Pecan, Seaweed, and Swiss Chocolate.
Now I need to decide how to finish it. I did buy some backing fabric to use for this one.
The backing fabric on this one is the green that was part of the finishing kit included in the Sip and Stitch box. I added red rickrack for the trim. I think I am going to need a much bigger dough bowl next year for all the Christmas pillows.
I don’t think that was the free chart. Wasn’t it Winter Wonderland?
Darling finish, Pat! I like the proposed finishing fabrics.
Winter Wonderland was January’s free chart. Cocoa and Cookies was Decembers.
