Delight in this show-stopper design and create a beautiful stitched masterpiece, guaranteed to turn heads. Whether it's to do with their wild beauty or elusive shyness, there is something just so magical about the hare. And, as you stitch this gorgeous design, you'll feel as though you're creating a window into their mysterious world. From the cross stitched poem to the muted colours and striking florals, we love how each element of this piece sits together so beautifully. The hare is the star of the show, of course - it'll be a treat to capture his graceful form, illuminated by the full moon! You'll use a range of stitching techniques, including lots of fractional stitches and some French knots. You'll also use blending to create the natural shading in the hare's fur - see our handy tips for blending on page 75! Plus, you'll achieve the subtle shimmery effects using Kreinik braid. A great project for stitchers with a little more experience, we think it would make a lovely statement piece in you home, or a fantastic gift!
