Truffles And Trotters

Hannah Dale's cheerful pig comes on an Aida whose background is already printed with tiny speckles, so the setting has depth without any extra stitching. The design is worked in full cross stitch with some back stitch for the bristles, trotters and smile: a good choice for anyone who has finished a project or two and enjoys the soft, shaded look of the Wrendale animals.

The threads arrive sorted by colour on the organiser, so no time is lost identifying them. You will also need a hoop or frame and small scissors, and the frame shown is not included. Once finished, the square design frames up neatly for a kitchen wall or makes a gift for a lover of farmyard animals.
