Nordic Christmas Village

A Scandinavian Winter Fairytale in Two Colours of Yarn. Under a frosty full moon, Santa and his team of four reindeer glide silently across a starry sky over a cozy alpine village. Down below, nestled among dense evergreen pines, snow-covered chalets glow warmly around a village church with a soaring steeple. A stone-arched bridge spans a frozen winding river, while graceful stags and pine trees stand watch above a classic Scandinavian chevron border. Arranged in seamless story bands from top to bottom, this design combines the timeless charm of Nordic folk art with the relaxing rhythm of overlay mosaic crochet. Drawn as artwork first and charted second, ensuring razor-sharp stitch definition. --- ### What You Get (16-Page PDF) * Full row-by-row written instructions (Rows 0 to 280) with stitch checkboxes [ ] * Full master chart overview plus large-print quadrant charts for comfortable stitching * Complete stitch key & abbreviations guide * Exact yardage breakdown for DK, Worsted, and Chunky yarns * Finished dimensions chart for three yarn gauges ### Pattern Specifications * Technique: Overlay Mosaic Crochet (worked flat, RS only, no turning) * Chart Size: 201 stitches wide × 280 rows tall * Total Stitches: 56,280 stitches (Color A: 50.4%, Color B: 49.6%) * Finished Size (Worsted): Approx. 50.2" × 62.2" (128 × 158 cm) * Yarn Yardage (Worsted): Approx. 3,508 – 3,878 yards combined * Hook: 4.5 mm (or hook to meet gauge) * Crochet Terms: US Terminology * Skill Level: Intermediate (Adventurous beginners can follow written rows) Shown in Cranberry Red and Warm Linen Oatmeal.
