Chef Santa (Susan Roberts and Melissa MacLeod)
Lynda's Santa is a Susan Roberts design, stitched using a guide by Melissa MacLeod of The Wool and The Floss. Please note this is a two sided design but also sold front only. I don't know if Melissa's guide covers both sides or not. If you want to stitch both, check with the shop before buying their guide. They can advise you if the guide covers front and back or if not, if you can use the front guide to help choose the back side stitches and threads.

Two New Coco Frank Stitch Guides (Matilda Square and Shells & Cherries)
Coco Frank has published two more free mini stitch guides on her website. One is for Matilda Square...
...and the other is for Shells & Cherries.
Note that Matilda Square's guide is just a listing of fibers. It is meant to be done in all tent stitches because of the constant color changes.
I don't know who wrote the guide for Shells & Cherries. It may be Coco herself. Shells & Cherries's guide is not very elaborate, so it is good for beginners or those just dipping a toe into needlepoint embellishment.
