6 listings

Much of this Christmas collection has a Scandinavian folk feel. Nordic Gnomes puts red gnomes in patterned coats among tulips, berry sprigs and toadstools on warm cream, and Nordic Knit Stars is a Fair Isle star print that works as a simple blender. Snowy Village is a vintage Christmas scene of snow-covered cottages, lamp posts, fir trees, robins and snowmen, and Nordic Forest Girls is a muted print of braided girls, reindeer and toadstools.

For children's makes there are gnome girls carrying gifts and lanterns, reindeer in red polka-dot scarves among gold and silver stars, and Ballet Moose, a whimsical print of moose dancing in pink and teal tutus. You can buy a single design, a coordinating pair or the Nordic Christmas Bundle, which holds the paired designs plus Dala horses, folk reindeer, robins and villages. The listings suggest Christmas wrapping paper, tissue and tags, kids' pyjamas, stockings, table linens, tree skirts and cards.

Singles and pairs are 3600 x 3600 px PNG files at 300 DPI. The bundle has JPG files at the same size, delivered in ZIP folders. Each listing includes a small business commercial licence that covers selling up to 500 units per pattern.

Questions about Christmas patterns

When should I buy Christmas patterns for this year's makes?

The files are ready to download from your Etsy purchases once your payment is confirmed, so the only lead time is your own. Work back from the day you need finished pieces: allow time for a test print, for a printing service's turnaround and delivery if you're having fabric or paper printed, and for making. Buying early leaves room to reprint if a colour needs adjusting.

Will the papers print well as gift wrap?

Each file is 3600 x 3600 px at 300 DPI, which prints sharply at 12 x 12 in (30.5 cm). Because every design is a seamless tile, you can repeat it across a larger sheet with no visible joins instead of enlarging it. Colours can look different on screen and paper, so print a test sample first. If you sell the wrap, the licence covers up to 500 units per pattern.

Which Christmas patterns go together?

The pairs are sold as coordinating sets: Snowy Village Christmas pairs Snowy Village with Nordic Forest Girls, Kids Christmas pairs Gnome Girls & Robins with Starlight Reindeer, and Scandinavian Christmas pairs Nordic Gnomes with Nordic Knit Stars. The Nordic Christmas Bundle includes every one of those designs plus more Nordic folk prints. Ballet Moose is sold on its own.
