Two bookmarks showing lavender in flower with a few butterflies around it: small pieces that come together in a couple of evenings and make a welcome gift for a reader. They are worked in counted cross stitch from the chart, with a little long stitch for the stems and antennae.
Everything needed for the stitching is in the pack, ribbon included; for the final making up you only need scissors, a sewing needle and thread, while a hoop or frame helps keep the fabric taut. Stranded cotton is usually worked with two strands on 14 count Aida, and the instructions explain how to proceed for each area of the design.
