Goddess of the Summer

A tall fantasy design with a wide palette and plenty of shading: 16 count Aida gives small, crisp stitches and suits anyone with some experience of counted cross stitch who enjoys a long, detailed piece. The chart is printed in black and white, with symbols to follow square by square.

The threads come pre-sorted, so you can start straight away; two strands of stranded cotton are the usual choice on this Aida. A hoop or frame and a small pair of scissors are not included, nor is the frame shown in the photo. Once finished, the panel works well framed as seasonal décor or given as a handmade gift.
