I’m feeling Christmasy 😂 Please share your favorite quick Christmas patterns to help me scratch the itch! (No full coverage please - I’m three years in to working on my husband’s stocking and we’ve since had two babies. Maybe I’ll have them all done in ten years or so)

I really enjoyed this one and it was pretty small and quick.

Is that LaSelva? There is a whole range of Christmas critters like that, each one cuter than the last :-)

Edit: shoulda looked, this is a different designer. But still cute!

The Just Cross Stitch magazine (Christmas editions) have many small patterns each year. If you can access Libby ( digital library) you can check them out.

Stitcheovia's Christmas Friends gift tags. They're quick and cute esp on perforated paper.  https://www.etsy.com/listing/923513495/christmas-friend-tags-cross-stitch

I really enjoy stitching Christmas ornaments for a quick and fun project. Design Works always has cute patterns. I have also found some fun options on Etsy :)

Someone just posted a tree ornament that looks really sharp, maybe something like that?

I like the following ones from Artecy, they are colorful but also not particularly complex https://www.artecyshop.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=74_92&products_id=4437 and https://www.artecyshop.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=74_92&products_id=4510

Probably much bigger than what you are looking for but I also love L&L Santa of the Forrest http://tiag.com/designs/LL-21.html (don't purchase digitally as legitimate copies only sold in print format)

Also, not what you asked as both bigger and full coverage, but one I love is Believe by Mary Engelbreit which is from a book of patterns which is why the ebay offering is for pages https://www.ebay.com/itm/137624084052 I also found digital ones but likewise believe they would not be legitimate for this pattern from this designer who does not offer this pattern digitally on her site https://maryengelbreit.com/search?page=1&q=believe&type=product#search_root

Edit: clarity
