Errata: (these are corrections for the first printing only)

  • In the holly spray at the corners there is a star symbol for 3362, dark pine green. In all the other charts this has become a small solid circle which doesn't appear in the symbol/floss numbers list. In all cases it should be stitched in 3362.

  • These are not errors, but for those who prefer perfect symmetry, you should note the following: -Letter spacing for days 6, 8, and 10. The spacing between the holly sprays and the words "On" and "Day" have the following spacing differences:
    Holly spray [3] On *6th* Day [5] Holly spray
    Holly spray [3] On *8th* Day [5] Holly spray
    Holly spray [2] On *10th* Day [4] Holly spray


  • Day 1:
    1. An upside down 'E' on the leaf furthest to the right.
    2. An arrow that faces the wrong way just under the tail feathers. It is meant to be 3362.
    3. A diamond symbol near the left of the pear in the middle is rotated.
    4. In the center of the partridge: a dot " . " (color Blanc) that's almost covered over by the center grid line.
    5. Lettering: words are all 4 spaces away from the inner border except for "my true love" which is 5 spaces away. Change to 4 spaces to match the rest.


  • Day 2: There is a blank square in the left pillar (17 rows down from the top of the "ball"). It should be stitched using DMC 415.

  • Day 3:
    1. A rotated diamond symbol (3363)
    2. Backstitching that overlaps the blade of grass on the hen's foot.


  • Day 6:
    Border: The holly sprays are missing 3 rows of symbols on each side. They should be the same as the rest of the border segments.


  • Day 7:
    There's a rotated 'E' symbol in the reeds behind the swan's neck.
