Christmas Party – Ugly Sweater Holiday Party

by

It’s that time of year again! Dig out the decorations and pull on your cozy clothes. The holiday season is upon us.

While everyone is putting up their trees, wreaths, and lights, we can’t forget about the sillier traditions. We’re talking about Ugly Sweaters. Ugly sweaters have come a long way. It started off with just wearing winter sweaters that just happened to be less than visually appealing. Now, you can purchase ugly sweaters that light up or make noise. You can even DIY your very own festive sweater to stand out in the crowd.

If you’re looking to host an Ugly Sweater Party this holiday season, we’ve got you covered.

We’ll take the guesswork out of planning the perfect celebration. Just refer to our Ugly Sweater Holiday Party Ideas to get inspired. From the invites to the party favors, we’ll help you put together the perfect holiday party. And if you’re in need of an ugly sweater, Wholesale Halloween Costumes has got you covered. Check out their inventory of all the holiday wearables that will be a hit at any ugly sweater party.

Snowman Cross Stitch Patterns

One of the problems with a lot of Christmas crafts is that they feel like holiday decorations that need to go away as soon as the holiday is over. And in the depths of winter, we’d rather keep the cheery things out a little longer, right? That’s where these snowman cross stitch patterns come in.

They fit in fine with your holiday decor but you can also leave them out as long as there’s cold weather.

This sweet little snowman with a cup of coffee and a pine bough is super cute and pretty easy to stitch. It comes from My Lovely Embroidery NB, and measures 52 by 63 stitches. That’s 3.71 by 4.5 inches or 9.43 by 11.43 cm on 14 count fabric, and it uses 19 colors.

These peeking snowmen from Rina Stitch are super silly and would be great stitched on a pillow or in a long narrow frame to put on the mantle. The pattern is 120 by 59 stitches, which comes out to 8.57 by 4.21 inches or 21.77 by 10.7 cm when you use 14 count fabric. This one calls for 22 colors.

If you’re just here for the snow, you’ll want to stitch this trio of fashionable snowfolk from Piccola Parigi. It uses 15 colors and measures 187 by 129 stitches. That’s about 13.36 by 9.21 inches (34 by 23.4 cm) when worked on 14 count fabric, but the pattern includes measurements for other counts if you want to make it smaller or larger. 

Kits by SAStitch has this adorable snowman holding and candy cane, and looking very dapper while doing it. I love this one because it feels like it would fit right in with Christmas things but would also be nice to have out all season. This piece is 55 by 70 stitches, which is 3.9 by 4.9 inches or 10 by 13 cm on 14 count fabric.

And if you want to bring a little humor to your winter stitching, check out this one from Sweet Annet which tells you exactly how snowflakes are made. This one uses 23 colors and measures 5.o7 by 4.29 inches, or 12.88 by 10.89 cm on 14 count, with a stitch count of 71 by 60.
