Merry LC a

Merry LC a is a lowercase letter a in a flowing script style, filled with green stitching and covered in fine white snowflakes. The snowflakes sit over soft horizontal bands, which gives a cosy, knitted look and a warm winter feel. It is shown in green and white, but this is only a suggestion. Any shades of the same family work, such as deep red with cream.

This letter suits Christmas projects and winter monograms. Try it on tea towels, tote bags, cushions, stockings, baby clothes or a quilt block in a seasonal alphabet. It sits well on cotton, linen, canvas and fleece, where the dense fill stays crisp and the fine snowflake lines show clearly.

The design measures 46 mm wide by 54 mm high (1.8 x 2.1 inches), so it fits easily in a small hoop. With 4,196 stitches and just 1 colour change, it stitches quickly. Use tearaway stabiliser on stable woven fabric and cutaway stabiliser on knits.
