Five well-wrapped cats, each in its own knitted hat, peer out over a wavy striped blanket in this design by Emma Ball. The Aida comes printed in full colour with the design, so it is easier to find your place and count, while the chart remains the guide for the thread colours and the back stitch details. The wool is used for couching, laid on the surface and stitched down to add texture.
Everything needed for the stitching is in the box; a frame is not included, and a hoop or stretcher is useful to keep the fabric taut. Once finished, the piece can be framed or made up into a cushion.
