To stitch this design, you will need a piece of Aida fabric measuring at least 15×15 cm on 14-count Aida. The primary colors featured in this pattern are DMC codes 3023, 3371, 3032.
It suits confident beginners and intermediate stitchers best. The warm gingerbread body is a large, easy color block, but the icing details, wreath, and trees require switching between several colors in a small area. Expect a satisfying challenge rather than a quick weekend stitch.
The palette spans warm ginger and caramel tones for the biscuit walls, bright white for the icing and snow, Christmas red for the door, and forest greens for the candy trees and wreath. The exact DMC numbers and skein counts appear in the color key below the chart.
On 14-count Aida the piece finishes at 15×15 cm (about 6×6 inches). This fits a standard 6-inch hoop for display, or you can frame it as a small seasonal wall piece. Stitching on 16-count gives a slightly finer finish at around 13×13 cm.
