The design comes printed in colour on the fabric, so there is no counting: you follow the printed shapes and work each area with a different stitch to suggest feathers, stems and berries. The chart tells you which stitch goes where, which makes this a good way to practise and add new stitches to your repertoire.
You will need a hoop to keep the work taut: the maker suggests a 10" one, not included in the kit, and the frame is not included either. The instructions are in English and the stitch diagrams guide you step by step. Once finished, the piece can be framed or mounted in a display hoop.
