Butterfly and daisies

A butterfly with orange, yellow and black wings settled on a cluster of white daisies: a bright nature design that stands out well against the white ground. The kit comes with all the stitching materials, including the threads already sorted onto an organiser, so the right shade is easy to find without untangling skeins first.

It is worked in counted cross stitch from the symbol chart, usually with two strands of stranded cotton on 14 count Aida. You will also need a hoop or frame and a small pair of scissors, and the frame shown in the photo is not included. The modest size makes it manageable even if you have little experience with shaded designs.
