Howling Hounds

A little gang of dogs in fancy dress waiting for Halloween night under a full moon: a cheerful design, more playful than spooky, that makes a decoration to bring out every autumn. Much of the blue fabric is left unstitched and reads as the night sky.

It is worked in counted cross stitch from the chart, with back stitch outlines and French knots for the details; the star sequins go on at the end. The threads are included and already sorted by colour on the organiser, while a hoop or frame, scissors and a picture frame are not part of the kit. The finished piece can be framed or made up into a cushion.
