Santa Breeze is a whimsical needlework piece showcasing Santa’s beard dancing in the breeze.

Using a variety of Crescent stitches, Jessicas, Sprats Heads, Rhodes, and Wrapped Eyelet, Santa Breeze comes to life on the canvas. Once stitched, a HuHu marker can be used for a night sky, and twinkling crystals, beads, snow drops, and a snowflake drop bead are added for a sparkling finish. The completed piece measures 6” x 6”.
