Cute Pals

14 ct, stitched over 1

Say hi to this adorable new duo! We can't think of a sweeter pair to gift to a loved one or special pal... With a basket full of posies and cheery smiles on their faces, Mittens the kitten and Cyril the squirrel are having the loveliest time out in the garden! We can just imagine Cyril hopping high and low, picking the choicest blooms to add to the pile, while cute-as-can-be Mittens pads alongside his bushy-tailed friend. Fans of endearing character designs won't be able to resist stitching these sweet animal chums, especially as they'd make the perfect present for any occasion. Be it a birthday, anniversary or a heartfelt thank you, this sentimental scene will bring a smile to anyone's face! Plenty of techniques are used to create this pretty painterly effect, including half cross stitches for the blue sky backdrop and backstitch in both one and two strands. It's ideal for those with a little experience, or even for those looking to take on their first big project. After all, what could be more fun than watching these happy faces come to life?!
