A mother elephant leaning down towards her calf, who is holding up a wild flower among the long grass and daisies: a design by Hannah Dale for Wrendale Designs, in soft greys and greens on the pale speckled fabric.
It is worked in counted cross stitch from the chart, with a few fractional stitches, back stitch outlines and French knots to pick out the details, so it suits stitchers who have a project or two behind them. The alphabet included lets you add a name or a date, which makes it a lovely new-baby gift. You will also need a hoop or frame and small scissors; the picture frame is not included.
