Hope Christmas Counted Cross Stitch Kit — Advent Series

Hope is a counted cross stitch kit with the word HOPE inside a red border with corner ornaments. Every letter is a small Christmas character: the red H stands in green elf boots with curled toes, the golden O looks like a wreath with holly, red berries, and a bow, the blue P wears a Santa hat, and the green E is decorated with red stars and a golden star on top. Pale blue snowflakes are scattered around the letters.
